Children's dental treatment in Houston, Texas

at Say Ahhh! Pediatric Dentistry

We truly believe that good dental health starts early. Children need to learn the proper way to care for their teeth even at a young age. They need to brush their teeth twice daily and floss at least once daily (though they will probably need help with this).

It is also important for children who are growing to see the dentist regularly. We like to professionally clean their teeth, removing all of the tartar and plaque that may be building up. We then polish them so that they shine. For most children, we also offer a fluoride treatment, which helps their teeth continue to be strong.

During the cleaning, we also perform a thorough examination. We want to catch any problems early so that we can start treatment right away. We look for overcrowding, bad bites, and more. Children commonly get cavities, especially if they are not very good at brushing their teeth.

If your child has a problem with overcrowding, bad bites, or anything else, we will start to develop a treatment plan to fix whatever the issue is. The sooner we start to fix the problems, the easier they will be to treat. We may not have to be as aggressive in treating a problem if we begin early, and you should see results fairly quickly.

Once your child has been treated, you may notice that he or she is able to eat and speak better. Though your child might not have told you, he or she might have been in pain, so you may see quite a difference with treatment. Be sure to schedule your child’s dental appointments regularly and work with him or her on practicing good oral care at home to ensure he or she has a healthy mouth right from the start!

My son had a wonderful experience here! The staff and assistants were super (especially Regina). My son even asked if he could come back the next day.

I had an amazing visit with my 4-year-old daughter. Dr. Foster and the team was amazing. My daughter, who is very afraid of doctors of any kind had a very successful visit without any crying, anxiety or frustration.

I came in today to get my 3 children's teeth checked out. The staff as a whole was amazing. They all were a delight to come into contact with. We were able to have Raquel the dental assistant to complete their cleaning. She was very nice, patient and explained what was going on with my kiddos. Dr. Foster was amazing as well. If you are looking for a great friendly place to take your children to get their teeth cleaned or any dental needs I 100% recommend Say Ahhhh Dentistry.

5 stars for everything!!! We have driven by this place so many times and I wished I would have walked in sooner! They treated my daughter like a princess and helped me relax as a parent! They walked me through every step and made us feel safe! Dr. Foster is amazing and will definitely make you feel at home! One of the nurses Ms. Regina was so helpful and loving! I could have hugged both of them because we felt so much love and they cared for us! Please go here! You will not regret it!

Meet our two amazing dentists!

Dr. Foster

An avid Saints fan (whether they win or lose and it’s been a lot of losing lately and she doesn’t want to talk about it); funny and very down-to-earth; and super-smart. She’s a really good teacher. She serves as the Director of Houston’s only Pediatric Dental Assistant School when she’s not working at Say Ahhh! She loves continuing education and staff development. She’s a bit of a nerd but the cool-kind; our office is a reflection of her personality. She’s super hospitable. It may be the New Orleanian in her.

Dr. Gainey

She’s our resident “tooth-whisperer”. She’s super smart and loves continuing education training whether it's current sedation trends or tongue-tie releases, Dr. Gainey is super knowledgeable. Before becoming a dentist, Dr. Gainey was a teacher at ISD. And before becoming a Pediatric Dentist, Dr. Gainey worked in an adult special needs clinic. We can’t think of a better combination: teacher + pediatric dentist = your child is in great hands!
