A Full Circle of Care for Your Child
Pediatric Dentistry near Sammamish, Bellevue & Redmond
At Nurture Kids Dentistry, we provide more than just check-ups. We offer a comprehensive "dental home" where every aspect of your child’s oral health is managed under one roof. Dr. Ketan Jumani combines advanced clinical training with a gentle, parent-approved approach to ensure your child receives the best care possible.
Whether your child needs a routine cleaning or complex restorative work, we are dedicated to making the experience safe, comfortable, and positive.
Stopping Problems Before They Start
Preventive Dentistry
The foundation of a healthy smile is prevention. We follow the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) guidelines to help your child maintain a cavity-free life.
- Exams & Cleanings: Gentle check-ups to monitor growth and remove plaque.
- Dental Sealants: Protective coatings for molars to block out food and bacteria.
- Fluoride Treatments: Strengthening enamel to resist decay.
- Oral Hygiene Coaching: Teaching kids (and parents!) the best brushing and flossing techniques.
Repairing Smiles with Natural-Looking Materials
Restorative Dentistry
If your child does get a cavity or damages a tooth, don't worry. We use the highest quality biocompatible materials to restore their smile to full function and beauty.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: We use BPA-free composite resins that match the natural shade of the tooth—no silver metal fillings here!
- Zirconia Crowns: For teeth with extensive decay, we offer durable, metal-free white crowns that look just like natural teeth.
- Baby Root Canals (Pulpotomy): Saving infected baby teeth to preserve space for permanent teeth.
Maximum Results, Minimum Intervention
Minimally Invasive Dentistry
We believe in preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Whenever appropriate, Dr. Jumani utilizes advanced techniques to treat decay without the need for needles or drills.
- Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF): A liquid application that stops cavities in their tracks.
- Icon Resin Infiltration: A drill-free method to treat early cavities and remove white spots on teeth.
- Laser Dentistry: For precise, comfortable soft-tissue treatments.
Expert Care for Complex Needs
Surgical Dentistry
When oral surgery is necessary, Dr. Jumani performs procedures with a focus on safety and quick recovery.
- Extractions: Whether for severe decay or orthodontic reasons, we perform extractions gently.
- Laser Frenectomies: We specialize in releasing Tongue Ties and Lip Ties using laser technology. This improves feeding for infants and speech articulation for older children with minimal discomfort and no sutures.
Helping Anxious Kids Relax
Sedation Dentistry
We want every child to feel safe. For children who are very young, highly anxious, or have extensive treatment needs, we offer safe sedation options to make the visit stress-free.
- Nitrous Oxide ("Laughing Gas"): A mild, safe gas that helps children relax while remaining fully awake. It wears off immediately after the procedure.
- Oral Conscious Sedation: Medication given in the office to produce a deeper state of relaxation for longer procedures.
- General Anesthesia: For complex cases, we can discuss hospital-based or anesthesiologist-assisted options.
Inclusive Care for Unique Smiles
Special Needs Dentistry
Dr. Jumani is a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist with specialized training in caring for patients with physical, developmental, cognitive, and sensory challenges.
- Sensory-Friendly Approach: We adapt our environment (lights, sounds) to suit your child’s needs.
- Desensitization: We take the time to introduce tools slowly, building trust at your child's pace.
- Compassionate Expertise: We treat every child with the dignity, patience, and respect they deserve.
