To make a child feel safe in a dental chair, you genuinely have to care about them. The team of dentists, assistants and hygienists at Dakota Dental 4 Kids (lovingly known as DD4K) see their role in children’s lives as a privilege and a responsibility. “A true gift of children is that they are intuitive and perceptive. Kids who visit DD4K know they are safe and cared for,” shared Dr. Paul Stevens, one of the board-certified pediatric dentists at DD4K.
Children are not just small adults; their dental and human needs are unique, necessitating a specialized approach. With four board-certified pediatric dentists, in addition to general dentists with over 70 years of combined experience, DD4K offers unparalleled expertise. The team within DD4K approaches each child as they would want their own child or loved ones cared for.
At DD4K, the child and their parent or accompanying loved one are VIPs! Crucial to DD4K’s mission is empowering both the child and the parent/child’s decision-maker. The DD4K team does this by genuinely listening, engaging the family in the care model and presenting treatment options. The family is the epicenter of the decision-making process.
Providing an outstanding patient/parent experience motivates every decision and practice within DD4K. Fostering a positive association with dental care that follows children into adulthood is paramount. DD4K takes great pride in nurturing a fun, loving, family-centered care environment where the child is the star of the show. DD4K commits heartfelt dedication to children’s overall health and well-being both now and into their bright futures.
DD4K is pleased to share the opening of another Rapid City location, expanding its dedication to children of the Black Hills Area.
