Your Trusted Pediatric Dental Care in Amarillo
A Kid-Friendly Pediatric Dental Office in Amarillo
At AOMS Pediatric & Children’s Dentistry, our goal is to help children grow up with happy, healthy smiles. Dr. Lorra Lindsey, Dr. Kristin Swanson, Dr. Semantha Charles, and Dr. Leslee Huggins have undergone unique training to provide child-specific treatments and care for patients with special needs. We’re experts in early dental care, restorations, sealants, routine visits, and treating dental emergencies, as well as educating patients and families about oral care at home.
We understand that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming for both children and parents. That’s why our team creates a friendly, supportive environment where kids feel safe, heard, and confident. From a child’s very first dental visit to ongoing care through the teenage years, we are here to support every stage of your child’s oral health journey.
Specialized Pediatric Dental Care in Amarillo
Pediatric dentistry is more than just smaller tools and brighter colors. It requires advanced training, patience, and a deep understanding of how children grow and develop. Our pediatric dental specialists are trained to care for young patients with unique needs, including children with anxiety, special healthcare requirements, and developmental differences.
We believe that early dental experiences shape how children view oral health for life. By making visits comfortable and educational, we help kids develop healthy habits and positive attitudes toward dental care.
Our Pediatric Dental Services
We offer comprehensive pediatric dental services designed to protect your child’s smile at every stage.
Preventive Care
Preventive dentistry is the foundation of lifelong oral health. Our preventive services include routine exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, digital X-rays, and oral health education for parents and children. These services help prevent cavities, gum disease, and costly dental problems before they start.
Restorative Dentistry
If your child develops a cavity or dental injury, we provide gentle restorative care to repair and protect their teeth. Our restorative services include tooth-colored fillings, crowns for baby teeth, space maintainers, and treatment for dental trauma. We focus on preserving natural teeth whenever possible and minimizing discomfort.
Infant and Toddler Dentistry
Early dental visits are critical for preventing future issues. We recommend children see a dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. These visits help us monitor development, identify early risks, and guide parents on proper oral hygiene and nutrition.
Sedation Dentistry
For children who experience significant dental anxiety or require extensive treatment, we offer safe sedation options. Sedation dentistry allows children to receive the care they need in a calm and stress-free manner while ensuring their comfort and safety.
Special Needs Dentistry
We proudly serve children with special healthcare needs and tailor our approach to each individual child. Our team takes the time to understand your child’s medical history, communication style, and sensory preferences to create a positive experience.

A Child-Friendly Dental Experience
Our office is designed with children in mind. From the waiting area to the treatment rooms, every detail is created to help kids feel relaxed and comfortable. We use kid-friendly language, visual explanations, and positive reinforcement to reduce fear and build trust.
We encourage parents to be active participants in their child’s dental care. By working together, we create a supportive environment where children feel empowered and informed.
The Importance of Early Dental Care
Early dental care plays a crucial role in your child’s overall health and development. Healthy baby teeth support proper speech, chewing, and jaw growth. They also guide permanent teeth into correct positions.
Regular dental visits allow us to monitor growth, detect issues early, and provide guidance on brushing, flossing, diet, and habits such as thumb sucking or pacifier use. Preventive care today prevents complex treatments tomorrow.
Serving Families Throughout Amarillo
We proudly serve families across Amarillo and the surrounding communities. Our goal is to be your child’s dental home, providing consistent care from infancy through adolescence. We value long-term relationships and take pride in watching our patients grow.
