Pediatric Dentistry

At Russo Family Dentistry & Aesthetics, we’re proud to care for patients of all ages including kids! While we are not a pediatric specialty office, our friendly team has extensive experience helping children feel comfortable and confident during their dental visits. We focus on creating a positive, stress-free environment so kids can build healthy habits and smiles that last a lifetime.

Regular dental visits from an early age are key to preventing cavities, gum issues, and other oral health concerns. Our team takes the time to educate both kids and parents about proper brushing, flossing, and nutrition, making each visit educational and fun.

We offer a full range of general dental services for kids in Metairie and the greater New Orleans area, including:

• Gentle Exams & Cleanings – Routine care to prevent cavities and keep little smiles bright.
• Fluoride Treatments & Sealants – Extra protection against decay during the cavity-prone years.
• Cavity Treatments & Restorations – Quick, comfortable care if a filling is needed.
• Oral Hygiene Guidance – Helping kids develop good habits for lifelong oral health.

Our goal is to help children feel safe and at ease during every visit. Whether it’s their first appointment or a routine cleaning, we take extra steps to explain procedures, answer questions, and create a welcoming experience for the whole family. Parents are welcome to stay with their children during appointments to help them feel more secure.

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help us monitor your child’s oral development, answer any questions you may have about brushing, nutrition, or habits like thumb sucking, and establish a foundation for lifelong dental health.

Help your child build healthy dental habits and keep their smile bright from the start. Whether it’s their very first appointment or a routine check-up, our friendly team at Russo Family Dentistry is here to make their visit easy and comfortable. Call us today or request an appointment online to get them on the path to lifelong oral health.
