Gentle, fun pediatric dentistry near Paradise, NV. We help kids develop healthy smiles while addressing sleep, breathing, and development concerns. Insurance and financing accepted.
Finding pediatric dentistry near Paradise, NV, that doesn’t result in tears (yours or theirs) is like discovering a vegetable your kids actually request—miraculous and slightly suspicious. Traditional pediatric dentistry often involves bribes, negotiations that would challenge UN peacekeepers, and promises of ice cream that you’ll definitely regret later. But modern pediatric dentistry has evolved beyond scary offices and that weird bubblegum fluoride that no bubblegum ever actually tasted like.
At Dee for Dentist, we’ve figured out how to make kids actually want to come back—or at least not hide under the car when it’s appointment time. Our approach combines genuine fun with serious expertise in children’s oral health, including our revolutionary HealthyStart program that addresses sleep and breathing issues. We’re not just cleaning tiny teeth; we’re helping kids grow properly, sleep better, and maybe even stop that bed-wetting that nobody talks about at playdates.
Our pediatric dentistry program covers everything from gummy smiles to teenage eye-rolls, because oral health is a marathon, not a sprint. We start with infant oral health exams, teaching parents how to care for those tiny teeth that arrive just in time to ruin everyone’s sleep schedule. Early visits help establish positive associations before fear has a chance to take root.
Regular cleanings and checkups for kids involve more than cavity hunting. We monitor growth patterns, tooth eruption, jaw development, and overall oral health. Think of us as architects and contractors for your child’s smile, making sure everything’s building correctly from the ground up. Our gentle approach and kid-friendly explanations help children understand what’s happening without the scary medical terminology that makes adults nervous.
The HealthyStart system represents a game-changer for children’s health, addressing sleep-disordered breathing in kids aged 2-12. This isn’t just about snoring (though we fix that too). We’re talking about bed-wetting, ADHD symptoms, behavioral issues, and poor sleep quality that might actually stem from breathing problems. Using specially designed appliances, we help guide proper jaw development and establish healthy breathing patterns that can literally change your child’s entire life trajectory.
Choose the location nearest you for exceptional dental care
Our office features OperaVR virtual reality as an alternative to traditional sedation. Instead of nitrous oxide, kids can explore underwater worlds or blast off to space during treatment. It’s like turning a dental appointment into a field trip, except the permission slip is easier and nobody loses their lunch money. This technology helps anxious children relax and actually enjoy their visits.
We use the Solea laser for many procedures, enabling anesthesia-free fillings for most cavities. No scary needles, no numb lip that inevitably gets chewed like bubble gum, and no drilling sounds that make everyone consider running for the exits. The laser is quiet, comfortable, and so gentle that many kids don’t realize we’re fixing their cavity—they’re too busy on their virtual adventure.
Our team speaks fluent “kid,” explaining procedures in terms they understand and find amusing rather than terrifying. We might describe cleaning teeth as “tickling away the sugar bugs” or explain X-rays as “taking superhero pictures of your teeth.” This approach transforms potentially scary experiences into adventures that kids can understand and even anticipate positively.
Dr. Dee Dee Meevasin’s certification in HealthyStart therapy makes her a specialist in addressing pediatric sleep and breathing issues that most parents don’t realize connect to oral health. Her training allows her to identify and treat problems affecting your child’s growth, behavior, and academic performance. It’s like having a detective who solves mysteries before they become problems.
Dr. Milan Montero’s experience with preventive care and decay prevention helps establish healthy habits early. Using her laser dentistry expertise, she can treat cavities quickly and comfortably, often without anesthesia. Her gentle approach and ability to connect with children makes even nervous kids feel safe and comfortable in the chair.
Our entire team receives ongoing training in pediatric dental care and child psychology. We understand that every child is unique—some bounce in ready for anything, while others need more time and patience. We adapt our approach to each child’s personality and comfort level, ensuring positive experiences that build confidence rather than create dental phobia.

It’s close enough that you won’t need snacks for the journey, though we know you’ll probably bring them anyway.
Both locations feature kid-friendly waiting areas and treatment rooms designed to reduce anxiety. We’ve created spaces that feel less like medical facilities and more like places where kids can relax and have fun. Even our adult patients comment on how much more comfortable our offices feel compared to traditional dental practices.
We offer convenient scheduling including after-school appointments and Saturday availability at select times. We understand that between school, sports, music lessons, and the seventeen other activities kids apparently need, finding time for dental appointments challenges even the most organized parents. Our flexible scheduling helps oral health care fit into your Paradise family’s busy life.
