Pediatric Dentistry in Fayetteville, NC
Military kids move a lot, and a new duty station means finding a dental home fast. Our Skibo Road office near Fort Bragg makes that easy: quick records transfer, Tricare welcome, and gentle care for children from age three as part of the family practice that treats their parents too.
A Dental Home That Moves at Military Speed
When orders bring a family to Fort Bragg, kids need to get established without a long wait. We transfer your child’s records, welcome Tricare, and schedule around demanding duty calendars — and because Fayetteville is one of the most diverse communities in the state, our team cares for children in both English and Spanish. Se habla español.
There is no separate kids’ clinic; there is one Skibo Road practice with child-friendly pacing and the whole family on one schedule — our full approach to pediatric dentistry lives here. Appointments run at a child’s speed — each step explained first, the tools shown and handled, tell-show-do throughout — so a new office quickly feels familiar.
Children’s Services
Preventive care protects a child’s teeth and a family’s budget, and it is the heart of what we do for kids. Our services include:
- Regular checkups that watch how teeth come in, how the jaw develops, the bite, and brushing, so small issues surface early.
- Cleanings matched to age — gentle and familiarizing for little ones, a full cleaning once a child is comfortable.
- Sealants on fresh permanent molars around ages six and twelve, a high-impact shield on the cavity-prone back teeth.
- Fluoride for children whose cavity risk makes it worthwhile, applied by need rather than by routine.
- Digital X-rays reserved for a genuine clinical need, at a fraction of film’s dose.
- Tooth-colored fillings — no silver amalgam — that blend with natural enamel.
- Custom sports mouthguards for young athletes on and around post — football, soccer, wrestling, basketball — fitted far better than a store-bought guard.
- Space maintainers after an early baby-tooth loss, holding the spot so the adult tooth has room.
A knocked-out or broken tooth counts as an emergency — for a child’s dental trauma, call us right away or see our Fayetteville emergency dental page.
Getting Your Child Ready
Aim for a mid-morning slot when your child is rested and fed, not sleepy after lunch or worn out at day’s end. Talk it through simply beforehand and keep the frightening words out of the conversation, and skip the reassurance that nothing will hurt — it only introduces the worry.
A quick dental clip for kids the night before helps younger children picture what is coming, and a parent may sit in for as long as your child likes, across as many appointments as it takes. For families mid-move, bring whatever records you have and we will track down the rest.
Under Three, or Want a Kids-Only Office?
We begin care at age three. For children under three — or families who prefer a practice built entirely around kids — our sister brand Dino Kids Dental in Fayetteville is devoted to kids’ dentistry in a space designed entirely for children. And when a situation truly calls for a board-certified specialist — deep sedation, or substantial special medical needs — we make the referral to a trusted colleague and stay in the loop.

Tricare, Insurance & Affordability
Most dental plans — Tricare and United Concordia included — pay for a child’s routine care — the checkup, cleaning, needed radiographs, protective sealants and fluoride — in full or nearly so, Tricare and United Concordia among them. We confirm what your plan covers before treatment and give clear figures on anything restorative. Carrying no dental coverage, families can lean on the O2 Advantage Plan for reduced everyday prices with no deductible and no waiting period, and CareCredit or Sunbit for larger work.
Fayetteville Makeover FAQs
We just PCS’d — how fast can our kids be seen?
Quickly. Bring whatever records you have and we’ll transfer the rest, verify Tricare or your plan, and aim for prompt first visits so your children have a dental home established soon after you arrive.
Do you take Tricare for children’s dentistry?
Yes. We welcome Tricare and United Concordia, verify your specific coverage before treatment, and most children’s preventive care is covered at a high percentage or in full.
At what age can you see my child?
From three and up. If your child is under three, or you want a practice built purely around kids, our sister brand Dino Kids Dental in Fayetteville fits well.
My child knocked out a tooth at a game — what now?
Treat it as an emergency and call us right away; a knocked-out permanent tooth is time-sensitive. We’ll get you in fast, and we make custom sports mouthguards to help prevent the next one.
Can a parent stay in the room?
Yes — through the early visits and for as long as your child likes having you close, which helps kids settling into a new duty station.
Is children’s dentistry covered by insurance?
Children’s preventive care is paid fully or close to it by most plans, Tricare among them; restorative coverage differs by policy. We confirm benefits before booking anything.
