What EP Dentistry 4 Kids does

EP Dentistry 4 Kids is a private pediatric dental practice operating exclusively on children from infancy through age 20 across three physical locations in El Paso, Texas (Dyer, Mesa, and Zaragoza offices). The practice delivers the full scope of pediatric dental services including preventative care (exams, cleanings, sealants), restorative treatment (composite fillings, zirconia and stainless steel crowns, pulpal therapy, extractions, space maintainers, silver diamine fluoride), and three tiers of sedation (nitrous oxide, moderate conscious sedation, and in-office general anesthesia administered by board-certified dental anesthesiologists). A mobile dentistry program extends preventive services (oral assessment, radiographs, cleaning, fluoride varnish, sealants) into schools and childcare centers.

The practice accepts virtually all Texas and New Mexico Medicaid/CHIP plans, TriCare via United Concordia, and major commercial insurers, while also operating the Kids Smile Club, a $79/year subscription dental discount plan that serves uninsured families. All dentists complete a rigorous in-house pediatric training program, and the office environment is purpose-built for children (games, ceiling-mounted movies, prizes). The practice has been recognized as Best Kids Dentist in El Paso for 10 consecutive years through 2025 and runs the Caring4Community donation program supporting local nonprofits. Recruitment is routed through Kids Dental Brands ([email protected]), indicating affiliation with a multi-brand dental support organization.

Products and services

• Dental Exams Comprehensive oral examinations evaluating children's teeth, bite, and supporting structures, including dental x-rays to assess growth and development. Recommended every 6 months.
• Teeth Cleaning Professional dental cleaning that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth, decreasing risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
• Dental Sealant Thin protective coatings applied to chewing surfaces of molar teeth to prevent tooth decay by blocking plaque buildup in pits and grooves.
• Dental Crowns Caps placed on teeth with significant structure loss due to large cavities or fractures. Available in white (zirconia) and silver (stainless steel) options.
• Tooth Extraction Removal of teeth that have excessive dental decay causing pain or infection, have undergone significant trauma, or are required for orthodontic treatment.
• Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) Antimicrobial fluoride liquid applied to cavities to prevent progression, offering a non-invasive, fast, and painless alternative to fillings or crowns.
• Dental Fillings Composite (tooth-colored) fillings used to restore teeth after cavity removal and prevent decay progression. No amalgam (silver) fillings used.
• Pulpal Therapy Pulpotomy or pulpectomy procedures ('baby root canal') for baby teeth with cavities reaching nerve tissue, involving removal of affected nerve tissue and placement of sedative material.
• Space Maintainers Custom-fitted devices placed when baby teeth are lost prematurely to preserve space for permanent teeth to come in properly.
• Nitrous Oxide Inhaled gas (laughing gas) mixed with oxygen delivered via nasal mask to reduce pain and anxiety during dental procedures for young or fearful children.
• General Anesthesia In-office sedation administered by a board-certified dental anesthesiologist for children who need to be completely unconscious during extensive dental treatment.
• Moderate (Conscious) Sedation Medication-induced deep relaxation combining oral liquid medication with nitrous oxide, designed to minimize discomfort and anxiety while remaining responsive.
