Building positive dental experiences during childhood sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. At Johns Creek Dental Associates, we bring extensive pediatric experience to provide gentle, comprehensive dental care for children of all ages. From first visits to preventive treatments, we create a welcoming environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident in their children’s dental care.
Our comprehensive approach focuses on prevention, education, and building positive attitudes toward dental health that last a lifetime. We treat children as young as age one, ensuring early intervention and monitoring for optimal oral development.
Our practice is designed to make children feel welcome and relaxed. From our friendly staff who know how to communicate with kids to our gentle techniques that minimize discomfort, every aspect of the visit is planned with your child in mind. We offer nitrous oxide sedation for children who feel anxious or need help relaxing during treatment, ensuring a positive experience even for nervous young patients.
We believe parents are partners in their children’s dental health. We take time to explain procedures, answer your questions, and provide guidance on home care, diet, and oral hygiene habits. We help you understand what to expect as your child’s teeth develop and how to prevent common childhood dental problems. You’ll always know what’s happening during treatment, and we encourage you to be present to provide comfort and support.
We provide complete dental care tailored to children’s unique needs at every stage of development. Our pediatric services include children’s dental exams starting as early as age one, pediatric preventive care, dental sealants to protect against cavities, fluoride treatments to strengthen developing teeth, and gentle guidance for first dental visits. Dr. Choi’s extensive background in pediatric dentistry ensures your child receives compassionate, age-appropriate care in a comfortable environment designed to create positive experiences.
Our pediatric approach focuses on prevention, early intervention, and creating lasting healthy habits that help children develop positive attitudes toward oral care. We understand that children have unique dental needs and anxieties, which is why we take extra time to build trust and make each visit comfortable and stress-free. From routine cleanings and exams to addressing pediatric dental emergencies, our team is equipped to handle the full spectrum of children’s dental health needs while educating both parents and children about proper oral hygiene techniques that will serve them for life.
Childhood cavities remain one of the most common preventable diseases affecting young patients, but with the right preventive care and early intervention, they’re also highly avoidable. Understanding that prevention is far more effective than treatment, we work closely with parents to establish strong oral hygiene routines at home and provide age-appropriate education about proper brushing, flossing, and nutritional choices that support dental health.
During each visit, we carefully examine your child’s teeth for early signs of decay and assess their cavity risk based on factors like diet, oral hygiene habits, and tooth structure, giving your child the foundation for a lifetime of excellent oral health in a welcoming environment where preventive care becomes a positive, stress-free experience.

Parents naturally have questions about their children’s dental care, from when to start dental visits to how to handle anxiety and what treatments are age-appropriate. Understanding what to expect helps both you and your child feel more comfortable and prepared. Here are answers to the most common questions we receive about pediatric dentistry and what to expect during your child’s visits.
We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits allow us to monitor dental development, check for potential issues, and educate parents about proper oral care for infants and toddlers. These initial visits are typically short and focus on making your child comfortable in the dental environment while we examine their teeth and gums. Starting early helps establish a positive relationship with dental care and allows us to catch any problems before they become serious.
Keep your explanation simple and positive. Tell your child they’re going to visit a friendly dentist who will count their teeth and make sure their smile is healthy. Avoid using words like “pain,” “hurt,” or “shot,” as these can create unnecessary anxiety. Read children’s books about dental visits, and let your child know that you’ll be there with them. You can also play “dentist” at home, taking turns counting each other’s teeth. Our team is experienced in helping nervous children feel comfortable, so don’t worry if your child seems anxious—we know how to make the experience positive and stress-free.
Most children should visit the dentist every six months for routine checkups and cleanings. These regular visits allow us to monitor tooth development, catch cavities early when they’re easiest to treat, apply preventive treatments like fluoride and sealants, and reinforce good oral hygiene habits. Some children with higher cavity risk, orthodontic concerns, or special dental needs may benefit from more frequent visits. During your child’s appointments, we’ll let you know if they need to be seen more often than twice a year based on their individual oral health needs.
