Lauren F. Wallace, DDS.

By their first birthday, or within six months of that first tooth popping through. Our first pediatric dentist visit is gentle, quick, and designed for wiggly little ones.

Yes. We're in-network with the TRICARE Dental Program and accept Medicaid and most major insurance plans at both offices. Military families can learn more on our TRICARE & military families page, or call either office and we'll verify your benefits before the visit.

Totally normal — and exactly what we're trained for. Between our kid-first team and safe comfort options like laughing gas, most nervous visitors leave asking when they get to come back.

Our Bossier City office is at 4001 Viking Drive, Suite A, near the Louisiana Boardwalk. Call (318) 747-7020. It is about 15 minutes from Barksdale Air Force Base. The same doctors also see patients at our Shreveport office at 318 Carroll Street.

Most children do best with a dental checkup every six months. Your child's dentist may suggest a different schedule based on cavity risk. Each visit includes a cleaning and an exam. We add fluoride treatments or sealants when your child needs them.

Everything is sized and paced for kids. Our team explains each step in simple words. We give personalized care for every age, from babies to teens. We want your child to feel safe, calm, and proud after each visit.

We see infants, children, and teens. Plan the first visit by the first birthday, or when the first tooth comes in.

Call either office right away. We offer after-hours emergency care. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, keep it moist and call us at once. For a serious head or jaw injury, call 911 or go to the ER first.
