Pediatric Medicaid Dentist in Houston
A pediatric Medicaid dentist provides complete, kid-friendly dental care covered by Medicaid—from first visits to routine checkups and cavity prevention. At Smile Rite Dental, a typical visit includes:
Age-appropriate exam and digital X-rays as indicated.
Gentle cleaning and polishing.
Fluoride and sealants to prevent cavities.
Cavity detection with options like Silver Diamine Fluoride when appropriate.
Personalized brushing/flossing guidance for home. We make care simple, comfortable, and affordable for families.
Medicaid made easy: We verify benefits and explain costs up front—no surprises.
Truly child-friendly: Calm, patient team; tell-show-do approach; sensory-aware techniques.
Comprehensive under one roof: Preventive, fillings, SDF, space maintainers, emergencies, ortho consults.
Trusted local dentists: Dr. Katelynn Le, Dr. Deepthi Kunchey, and Dr. Hazha Pasha lead a compassionate, multilingual team.
Convenient care: Walk-ins and same-day options across Houston & Channelview.
Infants, toddlers, children, and teens—including first-time visits, kids due every 6 months, and children with higher cavity risk or special sensory considerations.
Most children do best with checkups every 6 months; higher-risk kids may benefit from 3–4 month preventive visits. We’ll tailor a plan based on your child’s exam and medical history.
We accept Medicaid and most major insurance plans. Many pediatric preventive services (exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants) are covered with little to no out-of-pocket cost depending on eligibility and plan details.
Typical private-pay fee ranges (if not using benefits; varies by complexity & location):
$75–$130
$85–$145
$20–$40
$30–$55
$35–$65
Insurance & Medicaid
We accept most major insurance plans and Medicaid. We’ll verify your benefits before treatment.
• Clear estimates before any care
• Kind, no-pressure recommendations—only what’s needed
• Same-day relief for urgent needs when possible
Start as soon as the first tooth erupts.
Use a rice-sized smear of fluoride toothpaste (pea-sized after age 3).
Brush 2× daily for 2 minutes; help/supervise until at least age 6–8.
Floss once daily when teeth touch.
Gently slide below the gumline in a “C” shape.
Floss picks can help little hands build the habit.
Schedule earlier in the day if your child is fresher.
Bring a favorite toy or song; we’ll do tell-show-do.
Share medical history and any sensory concerns—we’ll adapt.
