Yes. This office offers pediatric dentistry only, with no orthodontists on site. When your child needs braces or an orthodontic opinion, the consultation happens at our Patterson Avenue office a few minutes south, using the same patient record.

Yes. Gaskins Road takes Virginia Medicaid for children's dental care, including Cardinal Care Smiles (the plan formerly called Smiles For Children), DentaQuest, and Doral. Coverage does not change which doctor you see or when you can be seen. More on Medicaid dental care for kids in Richmond.

One. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry says by the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth, whichever comes first. If your child is older and has never been, that is fine too, and it is a common way families find us. What the first visit involves.

Mostly the near West End of Henrico County: Tuckahoe, Westhampton, Gayton, Ridgefield, Canterbury, Mooreland Farms, Raintree, and Pemberton, plus families from the city's west side along River Road and Patterson. If you live out past Pump Road, our Short Pump office may be the shorter drive.

This is a large part of what a pediatric office does. We start slow, sometimes with a visit that is nothing but a look around, use tell-show-do at every step, and have nitrous oxide and other sedation options when a child needs treatment they cannot sit through awake. Tell us about the fear when you book so the first visit is planned around it.

Yes, regularly. Autism, sensory processing differences, developmental delays, and complex medical histories are all part of a normal week at Gaskins Road. Ask for a longer or quieter appointment and we will set it up. Our special needs dental care.

Infants through teenagers. Around eighteen, when a patient is ready for an adult dentist, we help them find one and send the records over.

Call (804) 741-2226 before anything else. A knocked-out permanent tooth has the best chance if it is back in place within an hour, and we will tell you how to handle it on the way in. We keep same-day time open for urgent pediatric visits. What counts as a dental emergency for a child.
