Comprehensive dental examinations to assess oral health and catch problems early.
Looking for dental exams in Laredo, TX? At Rodeo Dental Laredo, our experienced dental team provides dental exams services for patients of all ages — from toddlers to seniors. We accept most insurance plans, Medicaid, and CHIP, and offer flexible payment options for families without coverage.
Bring the child's CHIP or Texas Medicaid card to the Suite 5 front desk and we verify eligibility in the system before the cleaning starts, so the cost conversation happens before the chair, not after.

Spanish-first handoff from front to hygiene chair
If you check in in Spanish, the hygienist and assistant who walk you back also speak Spanish — the conversation doesn't restart in English when you pass the reception counter.
3
Knee-to-knee first visit for under-threes
For a toddler's first-ever cleaning we seat the parent in the operatory chair and lay the child across both laps, head in the hygienist's lap, so the child stays looking at mom or dad the entire exam.

Prevention is 10x cheaper than treatment. A little care now saves a lot later.
✓
Early-childhood enamel is thinner than adult enamel, so a small area of demineralization on a front baby tooth can progress into a visible cavity in a matter of months if the first cleaning keeps getting pushed.
✓
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by age one, and skipping that window means we lose the chance to apply fluoride varnish and teach bottle-and-sippy habits before decay starts.
✓
Plaque that sits on baby teeth long enough to calcify into tartar can't be brushed off at home — it has to be scaled off in the chair, and the longer it stays, the more irritated the surrounding gum tissue becomes.

What's Included in Your Dental Exams & Check-ups — Laredo
Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Laredo, TX for dental exams & check-ups:
1.
Bilingual CHIP intake and medical history
Front desk verifies CHIP or Medicaid eligibility and collects allergies, medications, and pediatrician notes in the parent's preferred language before the child is seated.
2.
Digital bitewing and periapical imaging
Age-appropriate digital radiographs — typically two bitewings for a school-age child, or a single anterior periapical for a toddler — to check for interproximal decay the eye can't see.
3.
Hand-scaler and ultrasonic plaque removal
Hygienist removes soft plaque and hardened tartar above and below the gumline using a hand scaler for tight contacts and an ultrasonic scaler for heavier deposits.
4.
Prophy-paste coronal polish
A fine-grit fluoride prophy paste is run over every tooth surface with a slow-speed rubber cup to remove surface stain and smooth the enamel after scaling.
5.
5% sodium fluoride varnish application
A thin layer of 5% sodium fluoride varnish is painted onto dry tooth surfaces to remineralize early white-spot lesions and harden enamel for the next several months.
6.
Six-month recall and home-care walkthrough
Dr. Afraee-Karahroodi reviews findings with the parent, we schedule the six-month recall before you leave, and the hygienist demonstrates brushing and flossing on the child's own teeth in the chair.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Exams & Check-ups
Where exactly is the Del Mar office and is there parking for a stroller?
We're at 7305 San Dario Ave Suite 5, Laredo, TX 78045, with dedicated surface parking right in front of Suite 5 — easy to unload a car seat or a double stroller without crossing a lane of traffic.
Do you take CHIP and Texas Medicaid for a child's first cleaning?
Yes. Bring the child's CHIP or Medicaid card and a photo ID for the parent, and our front desk will verify eligibility before we walk you back, so there are no billing surprises at check-out.
What are your hours if I can only bring my kids on a Saturday?
Saturdays we're open 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Monday through Friday we're 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and we're closed Sundays.

What makes our Laredo office unique for dental exams & check-ups
Dental Exams & Check-ups for Laredo Families
Families on the north side of Laredo know the drive up San Dario Avenue well — past the Mall del Norte exit, past the Bob Bullock Loop frontage, and into the Del Mar corridor where our office sits in Suite 5 at 7305 San Dario Ave. Preventive dentistry here looks a little different than it does elsewhere in Webb County. A lot of our first-time parent visits come from pediatricians at Laredo Medical Center or from WIC offices that hand out 12-month dental referrals, and many of those families are walking through a dental door for the very first time in Spanish.
The 78045 ZIP covers everything from new builds near Del Mar Hills Elementary to longtime households closer to McPherson, so the mix of CHIP, Medicaid, and employer plans we see on a typical Saturday morning is genuinely wide. We schedule with that reality in mind.
