Early visits help identify developmental concerns, establish healthy habits, and ensure your child grows up comfortable in the dental chair.
At Tribute Family Dentistry, we make first visits gentle and low-pressure. We focus on familiarity and fun so your child leaves with a positive memory — and actually wants to come back.

Frequently Asked Questions — Children’s Dentist in Frisco, TX
At what age should a child first go to the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday, or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits allow us to monitor development, apply preventive treatments, and help your child grow up comfortable with dental care. At Tribute Family Dentistry in Frisco, TX, we make first visits gentle and educational — for both children and parents.
Can I take my 3-year-old to the dentist?
Absolutely — and you should. By age 3, your child should be visiting the dentist every 6 months for routine checkups and cleanings. At Tribute Family Dentistry, we specialize in making these visits fun and positive so your child builds a healthy relationship with dental care from the very start. Call us at (469) 598-1021 or request an appointment online.
Do you accept Medicaid for children in Frisco, TX?
Yes. Tribute Family Dentistry is proud to accept Medicaid for children — making us one of the few private family dental practices in Frisco, TX to do so. We believe every child deserves high-quality dental care, regardless of insurance. We also accept most PPO plans and offer our in-house Smile Savings Plan for families without insurance coverage.
What is the difference between a pediatric dentist and a family dentist for children?
A board-certified pediatric dentist completes an additional 2–3 years of specialist training after dental school focused exclusively on children. A family dentist treats patients of all ages and can provide the full range of children’s dental care while also caring for parents and grandparents in the same practice. At Tribute Family Dentistry, we offer the convenience of whole-family care — children, teens, and adults all seen under one roof — with a team trained and experienced in age-appropriate, child-friendly dentistry.
Do you offer orthodontic services for children and teens in Frisco?
Yes. We partner with Elate Orthodontics, an award-winning orthodontic practice with over 1,000 five-star reviews, located in the same building. This means early orthodontic evaluations, braces, and Invisalign for your child are all available without leaving our family of practices. Learn more about our orthodontic services.
What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?
Call us immediately at (469) 598-1021. Tribute Family Dentistry offers same-day emergency appointments for children experiencing tooth pain, cracked or knocked-out teeth, dental infections, or swelling. Do not send your child to an emergency room for a dental issue — ERs do not have dentists on staff and cannot treat the underlying dental problem. Learn more about our emergency dental care.
How much does a children’s dental cleaning cost in Frisco, TX?
For patients with PPO insurance or Medicaid, routine cleanings for children are often fully covered or require only a small co-pay. For uninsured patients, our Smile Savings Plan covers routine cleanings, exams, and X-rays for one affordable annual fee with no waiting periods and no deductibles. Call us at (469) 598-1021 for current pricing details.
At what age do children lose their baby teeth?
Most children begin losing baby teeth around age 5–6, starting with the lower front teeth. The process typically continues through age 12–13 when the last baby molars are replaced. According to the American Dental Association, regular dental visits during this transition help ensure permanent teeth are erupting correctly and that spacing issues are caught early.
Can a child have two dental insurance plans?
Yes — if both parents carry dental insurance, a child can have dual coverage. One plan becomes the primary and the other secondary, which can significantly reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs for dental care. Our team at Tribute Family Dentistry is happy to check your benefits and coordinate dual coverage before treatment begins.
What dental services does Medicaid cover for children in Texas?
In Texas, the CHIP and Medicaid dental program covers preventive services including cleanings, exams, X-rays, and fluoride treatments, as well as restorative services such as fillings and extractions when medically necessary. At Tribute Family Dentistry, we accept Medicaid for children and will help you understand exactly what is covered at your visit.
