Comprehensive dental examinations to assess oral health and catch problems early.
Looking for dental exams in Phoenix, AZ? At Rodeo Dental Phoenix, 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.
The front desk runs your AHCCCS or CHIP ID through the Arizona eligibility portal while you are still at the window, so you know what is covered for the cleaning, fluoride, and sealants before your child is seated. No post-visit surprise statements mailed to a 85053 address.

Spanish-first handoff from front desk to operatory
If Spanish is the parent's primary language, the same bilingual team member who checked you in walks back with you and stays for the exam so nothing is lost between the front and the chair. Dr. Leon switches between English and Spanish with the child based on which one calms them down faster.

Stacked sibling block on Thunderbird Rd open days
Because the office is closed Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, we group siblings into back-to-back chairs on Monday, Thursday, or Friday so a family only drives the Thunderbird/35th Ave corridor once. Parents stay chairside for every child — no waiting-room drop-off.

Prevention is 10x cheaper than treatment. A little care now saves a lot later.
✓
Small pit-and-fissure decay on a six-year molar is painless at the stage a cleaning catches it, but once it reaches dentin the fix jumps from a sealant to a full restoration.
✓
Kids who skip routine fluoride and cleaning visits are the ones who end up in the emergency chair with a swollen face — prevention is what keeps a Medicaid family out of an ER co-pay.
✓
A preventive visit at age seven is also the window for the first orthodontic screening; waiting until age eleven narrows the non-extraction options a pediatric patient has.

Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Phoenix, AZ for dental exams & check-ups:
1.
Bilingual AHCCCS/CHIP intake at the front
Staff verify AHCCCS or CHIP eligibility in Spanish or English at check-in and confirm coverage for the prophy, fluoride varnish, and sealants before the child is seated.
2.
Bitewing and panoramic radiographs in-suite
Digital bitewings screen for interproximal decay and a panoramic image is captured on-site when an age-seven ortho and eruption check is indicated, with lead apron and thyroid collar for every child.
3.
Hand-scaler and ultrasonic prophylaxis
A hand-scaler and low-power ultrasonic remove supragingival plaque and stain on primary and mixed dentition, followed by a prophy paste polish appropriate for the child's age.

5% sodium fluoride varnish application
5% sodium fluoride varnish is painted on dried enamel surfaces with a microbrush; the child is asked to avoid hot food and brushing for the rest of the day.
5.
Pit-and-fissure sealants on permanent molars
Etch, rinse, dry, and light-cure a resin sealant into the occlusal grooves of erupted six- and twelve-year molars, checked with an explorer for full coverage before the child is dismissed.
6.
Age-seven ortho and airway screening
Dr. Leon checks arch width, crowding, crossbite, and tongue posture at every cleaning from age seven on, and flags whether a same-suite orthodontic consult is the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Exams & Check-ups
Where exactly is the North Phoenix office and how do I find Suite 13?
We are at 3425 W Thunderbird Rd Suite 13, Phoenix, AZ 85053, in the strip on the south side of Thunderbird just east of 35th Ave. Suite 13 is off the main courtyard — look for the Rodeo Dental sign facing Thunderbird.
What days and hours can I bring my kids in for a cleaning?
We are open Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. We are closed Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, so after-school slots on our open days fill up first — call (480) 916-7447 to grab one.
Do you take AHCCCS and CHIP for kids' preventive visits?
Yes. We run AHCCCS and CHIP eligibility at the front desk before you sit down, and Spanish-speaking staff walk you through what is covered for cleanings, fluoride, and sealants so there are no surprise bills.
If my child has never been to the dentist, can they come in the same day as a sibling?
We try to schedule siblings back-to-back in the same visit whenever our Monday/Thursday/Friday grid allows. Call ahead at (480) 916-7447 and ask for a stacked family block so you only make one trip down Thunderbird.

What makes our Phoenix office unique for dental exams & check-ups
Dental Exams & Check-ups for Phoenix Families
Our North Phoenix office sits in Suite 13 at 3425 W Thunderbird Rd, tucked into the Thunderbird-35th Ave corridor between Deer Valley and Moon Valley, a short drive from the families who live around Sunnyslope, Cactus Park, and the 85053 ZIP. Families heading up from Metrocenter or down from the Arrowhead side of the 101 can reach us without crossing I-17, which matters when you have a stroller and two kids in tow after school.
Preventive dentistry is what keeps bilingual households in this stretch of West Thunderbird out of the emergency chair — catching a soft spot on a six-year molar before it turns into a crown, and teaching little ones to trust the chair early. We see a lot of AHCCCS and CHIP kids here, and we speak Spanish at the front, in the operatory, and on the phone at (480) 916-7447.
