Southwest Houston Pediatric Dentistry
Our dental team loves working with children and helping them start a lifetime of great dental health.
Kids enjoy their time at our Southwest Houston dental office. Our office is a friendly, happy place. We have games, toys, and TVs in every room to help children feel right at home.
We provide oral exams to make sure their young teeth are healthy. We will address any issues with the parent to ensure problems are corrected before they become worse.
We are happy to serve as your First Dental Home. Dr. David Yu is enrolled as a Texas Medicaid Texas Health Steps provider. This service is aimed at children 6 months – 35 months of age to educate and establish good oral hygiene habits.
We believe that by teaching children how to care for their teeth now, they will have fewer dental issues throughout the rest of their life.

Questions Parents Ask
Q: When should my child have their first dental visit?
A: Ideally by their first birthday or when the first baby tooth appears—early visits set the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Q: Are dental sealants safe for kids?
A: Absolutely. Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to molars to prevent decay—they’re quick, pain-free, and highly effective.
Q: How do you handle a nervous child?
A: Our team uses gentle distraction—like cartoons on the ceiling, stuffed animals, and positive praise—to make kids feel relaxed and confident.
