Choosing a kids dentist in Las Vegas shapes how your child feels about dental care for years to come. A calm first visit, a dentist who explains things in words a child understands, and an office built for little ones can turn a checkup into something your child actually looks forward to.
Windmill Pediatric Dentistry is a privately owned pediatric dental practice on South Rainbow Boulevard in Southwest Las Vegas, caring for infants, children, and teens. This guide introduces our team, walks through the pediatric dental services we provide, and explains what your family can expect from the very first appointment.
Why Children Need a Dentist Trained for Growing Smiles
Children are not small adults, and their teeth are not small adult teeth. Baby teeth have thinner enamel, decay can spread through them quickly, and a child's jaw and bite keep changing well into the teen years. A pediatric dentist completes additional specialty training after dental school that focuses on these changes, on child behavior, and on keeping young patients comfortable.
That training shows up in small ways at every visit:
Explaining each step in simple, friendly words before it happens
Using child sized instruments and a gentle, unhurried pace
Spotting early signs of decay, crowding, or bite concerns while they are easiest to manage
Coaching parents on brushing, snacks, and habits at each stage of growth

Pediatric Dentist in Las Vegas
Meet Dr. Sisiley, One of the Best Pediatric Dentist in Las Vegas.
Dr. Sisiley Bao, known to her young patients as Dr. Sisi, leads the care at Windmill Pediatric Dentistry. She earned her dental degree at the UCSF School of Dentistry and completed advanced pediatric dental training at the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Sisi has extensive experience caring for children of all ages, including kids who need extra support during treatment. Her approach centers on personalized care, clear parent education, and compassionate communication, so every child leaves feeling valued, understood, and confident. Parents often mention how she walks both them and their child through each step of a procedure.
Our practice motto, "Stay Rooted," sums up what we believe: early care, healthy habits, and a nurturing environment are the roots of a lifelong healthy smile.
Pediatric Dental Services for Every Stage of Childhood
From the first tooth to the last baby molar, our pediatric dental care in Las Vegas covers prevention, treatment, and urgent needs under one roof.
Preventive Care and Routine Checkups
Prevention is the foundation of everything we do. Our pediatric preventive dentistry in Las Vegas includes routine exams, professional cleanings, fluoride varnish, protective dental sealants for back teeth, and X rays when they are needed. These visits help us catch small concerns early and give your child a steady, positive routine with the dentist.
Fillings and Restorative Treatment
When a cavity, crack, or infection affects a tooth, timely treatment protects your child's comfort and chewing. It also preserves the space that adult teeth will need later. Baby teeth matter: they guide permanent teeth into place, so we design every treatment plan around a growing smile. Depending on your child's needs, care may include fillings, baby root canal (nerve) treatment, or an extraction when a tooth cannot be saved.
Emergency Dental Care for Kids
Chipped or knocked out teeth, sudden toothaches, swelling, and infections all need quick attention. If your child has a dental emergency, call us at (702) 708-1299 and our team will guide you on what to do next. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, keep it moist in milk and call right away, because time matters. For facial swelling with fever, trouble breathing, or a serious head injury, go to the nearest emergency room first.
Sedation Options for Anxious or Very Young Children
Fear, a young age, sensory sensitivities, or a larger treatment plan can make dental work difficult for some children. Our pediatric sedation dentistry options add comfort and support, so children can receive the care they need in a calmer setting. Dr. Sisi reviews your child's health history and explains each option with you before any treatment begins.
Dental Care for Children With Special Needs
Every child deserves a dentist who adapts to them. As a special needs pediatric dentist in Las Vegas, Dr. Sisi accommodates sensory, physical, and behavioral needs with extra time, a calm pace, and a plan built around what helps your child feel safe. Families of children with autism or sensory processing differences are always welcome to share what works at home, so we can bring those strategies into the visit.
What to Expect at Your Child's First Visit
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by your child's first birthday or when the first tooth appears. Early visits are short, gentle, and mostly about getting to know each other. Here is how a first appointment usually unfolds:
A warm welcome. Our office is kid friendly, with toys and a TV in the waiting area so your child can settle in.
A gentle exam. We check tooth development, gums, and bite while your child stays comfortable.
Cleaning and fluoride when appropriate. Older toddlers and children usually receive a cleaning and fluoride varnish at this visit.
Time for your questions. We talk through brushing, teething, thumb sucking, bottles, snacks, and anything else on your mind.
A personalized plan. You leave with clear next steps and a recommended schedule, which for most children is a visit every six months.
To help your child feel ready, talk about the dentist in a positive, matter of fact way, and skip words like "hurt" or "shot." Reading a picture book about a dental visit together can help too.
