Pediatric Dentistry in Henderson, NV

A Friendly, Family-Focused Approach to Children's Dental Care

At Black Mountain Dental, we understand that great dental habits start early. Dr. Heeyup Ghim provides pediatric dental care in a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe and supported—whether it's their very first visit or a routine check-up.

We focus on prevention, education, and early intervention, all delivered with patience and a gentle touch. Our goal is to make your child’s dental experience a positive one—helping them build lifelong confidence in their oral health.

What’s Included in Pediatric Dentistry?

Our pediatric dental services are designed to grow with your child. We provide:

• First dental visits and infant oral exams
  
• Routine dental exams and cleanings
  
• Fluoride treatments to strengthen developing enamel
  
• Dental sealants to protect back teeth from cavities
  
• Cavity detection and gentle fillings when needed
  
• Space maintenance for prematurely lost teeth
  
• Oral hygiene coaching for kids and parents
  

Whether it’s their first tooth or their first cavity, we help your child stay healthy with care that’s both preventative and proactive.

Making Kids Comfortable at the Dentist

We know that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming for some children. That’s why we take extra time to:

• Use kid-friendly language and visuals
  
• Explain each step in a calm, reassuring way
  
• Use gentle techniques to minimize discomfort
  
• Keep appointments efficient and respectful of your family’s time
  

Our office is designed to feel calm and welcoming, and we work hard to create a no-pressure experience that encourages trust and comfort—both for your child and for you.

When Should Children First See the Dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting.

Early visits allow us to:

• Monitor your child’s dental development
  
• Catch small problems before they become big ones
  
• Guide parents on brushing, flossing, and nutrition
  
• Create a positive, early relationship with dental care
  

From toddlers to teens, we help children at every stage understand the importance of oral health—and take pride in caring for the families of Henderson, Las Vegas, and Boulder City.

Dentistry That Works for Families

We respect your schedule and work hard to make dental care convenient for busy families. Our appointments are carefully scheduled to minimize wait times, and many preventive treatments—like cleanings, fluoride, and sealants—can be done in a single, efficient visit.

If your child needs additional treatment like a filling or crown, we’ll always explain the options clearly and keep things simple. We also offer minimally invasive procedures whenever possible, using the latest technology for comfortable results.

We accept most dental insurance plans and offer flexible financing through CareCredit if needed.
