FAQ

Kids' Dentistry — questions answered.

• When should my child first see the dentist?

  We recommend a child's first dental visit by age 1, or within 6 months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits catch problems while they're small and help kids get comfortable at the dentist.

• Do you see kids who are nervous about the dentist?

  Yes. We see plenty of nervous kids. We move at your child's pace and explain each step before we do it.

• Do you offer laughing gas for nervous kids?

  Yes. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available for children ages 4 and up, with a parent or guardian's consent. It's mild, wears off quickly, and your child stays awake the whole time.

• What ages do you see?

  All ages, from first visits to seniors. Blaskovich Family Dental is a family practice, so parents and kids can see the same office.

• Do you see kids from Pueblo?

  Yes. Families from Pueblo are welcome — our Pueblo West office is about 20 minutes from downtown Pueblo, and parents and kids can be seen at the same office. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available for nervous kids ages 4 and up, with a parent or guardian's consent.

• Are you a pediatric dentist?

  We are a family dental practice with general dentists who see patients of all ages. If a child ever needs specialized care, we refer to a trusted specialist.

• Does insurance cover my child's checkups?

  Most dental plans cover routine cleanings and exams for children. See our insurance page for the plans we're in-network with. Without insurance, our in-house Gold Plan offers family memberships.
