Questions? The Crew Has Answers.
The things Colorado Springs parents ask us most — before the first visit and beyond.
When should my child first see a dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age one, or within six months of the first tooth appearing — whichever comes first. First visits at Kids Rock are short, gentle, and focused on helping your child feel comfortable.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept most PPO insurance plans, all major credit cards, and CareCredit. Please call your nearest office with questions about your specific plan — we’re happy to help you sort it out before your visit.
What ages do you treat?
From a baby’s very first tooth through the teen years — infants, toddlers, school-aged kids, and teenagers. Our orthodontists also treat both children and adults.
What if my child is nervous about the dentist?
That’s exactly what the pirate adventure is for. Visits are framed as a treasure hunt with our crew and the Tooth Fairy, parents are welcome to stay during treatment, and for kids who need extra help we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and hospital dentistry under general anesthesia.
When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check-up around age seven, while kids still have a mix of baby and adult teeth — early evaluation lets the orthodontist guide jaw growth and often prevent bigger problems later.
Which office should I choose?
Whichever is easiest for you! Woodmen (north, 5430 E Woodmen Rd), Union (central, 3350 N Union Blvd — open Mon–Thu), and Broadmoor (southwest, 4515 Broadmoor Bluffs Drive). Orthodontics is available at our Woodmen and Broadmoor offices.
What does a visit cost without insurance?
We publish our most common fees: a new patient exam is $126, a child cleaning is $93, fluoride is $55, and sealants are $75 per tooth. See our Financial Information page for the full list of our top 15 office codes and prices.
Can you see kids with special needs?
Yes — caring for children with autism, cerebral palsy, sensory processing disorder, and other medical or developmental conditions is a core part of our practice. We use calming strategies, adapted equipment and techniques, and offer sedation options when needed. Pre-visit tours are always welcome.
