Why Frisco Moms Choose Tribute Family Dentistry for Their Kids
Your Whole Family. One Office. One Team.
At Tribute Family Dentistry, you never need a separate specialist office for your child and a different dentist for yourself. Dr. Pham and our team see patients of every age – from toddlers to grandparents – under one roof. Book the whole family in one visit. One parking lot. One team that knows your family by name.
Gentle Care Tailored to Every Age
Our team knows that a 2-year-old and a 14-year-old need completely different approaches – and we adjust accordingly. We explain every step in language your child understands, let them get familiar with tools before we use them, and always move at the child’s pace. For children with significant dental anxiety, we offer gentle nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help them feel at ease.
Orthodontics Right Next Door
When your child is ready for braces or clear aligners, they do not need a referral to a stranger. We partner with Elate Orthodontics – an award-winning orthodontic practice with over 1,000 five-star reviews – located in the same building. Early orthodontic evaluations happen seamlessly as part of your child’s regular care at our office.
We Accept Medicaid for Children
Tribute Family Dentistry is one of the few private dental practices in Frisco, TX that accepts Medicaid for children. We also accept most major PPO dental insurance plans. For families without coverage, our Smile Savings Plan includes two cleanings, exams, and X-rays for just $360 per year – no waiting periods, no deductibles.
What to Expect at Each Stage of Your Child’s Visit
Toddlers – Ages 1 to 3
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday. These visits are gentle, short, and low-pressure – focused entirely on familiarity and comfort. We examine baby teeth, apply optional fluoride varnish, and give parents practical guidance on brushing technique, thumb sucking, pacifier habits, and diet. Every visit ends with a sticker and a high-five.
Children – Ages 4 to 10
Cleanings, X-rays, and sealants become part of the routine. We use child-appropriate instruments, explain everything in fun and understandable language, and take the time to build trust at every single visit. Our goal is for dental care to feel completely normal – not something to be nervous about.
Preteens and Teens – Ages 11 to 17
Preventive care continues alongside oral hygiene coaching, wisdom teeth monitoring, sports mouthguard fittings, and early orthodontic evaluations. Teens who are ready for braces or Invisalign are introduced to our Elate Orthodontics partners – right here at 5605 FM 423.

Frequently Asked Questions – Kids Dentist in Frisco, TX
When should I first bring my child to the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association both recommend your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday, or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help prevent cavities, monitor development, and establish a positive relationship with dental care from the very start. Call Tribute Family Dentistry in Frisco, TX at (469) 598-1021 to schedule your child’s first visit.
What if my child is scared of the dentist?
Dental anxiety in children is very common – and our entire team handles it with patience and care. We never rush a nervous child. We explain every tool before using it, let your child hold instruments at their own pace, offer noise-canceling headphones and TV entertainment during visits, and always stop if your child needs a break. For children with significant anxiety, gentle nitrous oxide is available. Call (469) 598-1021 so we can prepare before your child’s visit.
Does Tribute Family Dentistry see children or only adults?
We are a family dental practice – meaning we see patients of all ages, from babies to seniors. Dr. Pham and our team provide gentle, age-appropriate dental care for children from their very first visit through their teen years, alongside care for parents and grandparents. Your whole family can be seen together at one convenient location at 5605 FM 423, Suite 600-B, Frisco, TX 75036.
Do you accept Medicaid for children?
Yes. Tribute Family Dentistry accepts Medicaid for children – making us one of the few private dental practices in Frisco, TX to do so. We also accept most PPO dental insurance plans. For families without insurance, our Smile Savings Plan covers two cleanings, exams, and X-rays per year for $360 annually with no waiting periods or deductibles.
Do you offer same-day emergency dental care for children?
Yes. If your child has a toothache, knocked-out tooth, cracked tooth, swollen gums, or facial swelling, call us immediately at (469) 598-1021. We offer same-day emergency appointments for children and prioritize urgent cases. Do not take your child to an emergency room for a dental issue – ERs cannot treat the underlying dental problem. Learn more about our emergency dental care.
Do you offer orthodontic services for children and teens?
Yes. We partner with Elate Orthodontics – an award-winning orthodontic practice with over 1,000 five-star reviews – located in the same building at 5605 FM 423, Frisco, TX 75036. Early orthodontic evaluations are typically recommended around age 7. When your child is ready, the introduction to the Elate team happens seamlessly as part of their regular care with us.
Are children’s dental cleanings different from adult cleanings?
Yes. We use smaller, child-appropriate instruments and adjust our approach entirely based on your child’s age and comfort level. We take more time, explain every step, and use positive reinforcement throughout. Our goal is for cleanings to feel completely routine – even enjoyable – so your child grows up with a healthy attitude toward dental care.
How do I schedule my child’s first appointment?
