  • Dr. Mark H Wright
  • Childrens Dentistry
Dentist for Kids in Colorado Springs Area

It’s important to take your children for dental examinations and cleanings as early as possible. It is recommended that children visit the dentist by their first birthday and attend cleanings and examinations every six months just as their parents do! By being proactive about your child’s oral health, you can help them maintain healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime. A family dentist such as Dr. Mark H. Wright of Colorado Springs, Colorado, is the best option for this type of care, as he is familiar with the oral health of patients of all ages!

Why are regular dental exams and cleanings important for children?

A dentist can detect oral health concerns early on by simply looking at your child’s teeth. If necessary, Dr. Mark Wright will provide care for issues that may arise, such as toothaches, cavities, periodontal disease, and trauma or injuries. Additionally, showing your children how essential it is to maintain good brushing and flossing practices early helps them establish healthy habits for life!

What should I expect during my child’s first dental exam?

As with adult checkups, dentists often begin with x-rays of your child’s teeth so they can assess the overall health of their smile. These images come in handy when evaluating the progress of decay under existing fillings or between natural teeth that are touching each other. After taking x-rays, Dr. Wright may then examine your child’s teeth and gums for any oral health issues that may need to be addressed, such as cavities or gum disease. After the exam, he will likely provide a thorough education about proper brushing and flossing techniques to establish healthy habits from the start!

COVID-19 Patient Safety Policy

To my valued patients,

After great deliberation, I have made the decision to close the office effective March 19th. We will continue to see patients this week, but as things continue to change rapidly, that date may change. I care deeply about all of you, as well as my team. In order to keep everyone healthy and safe, we will only be seeing patients on an emergency basis. I will always be available, and you may reach me on my cell phone for any emergency. If we had an appointment scheduled for you, and we haven’t been able to make contact, please call our office to reschedule.

You may reach us at dr.wright@markhwrightdds.com or call (719) 635-1622.

Thank you all for your understanding. We will see you as soon as we can.

-Dr. Wright
