What to Expect at Our Houston Office

1

Medicaid and CHIP check at the Scott Street front desk

Bring the child's Medicaid or CHIP card when you arrive at Suite E and our bilingual front-desk team runs eligibility before you're seated. You'll know what's covered for the cleaning, fluoride, and any sealants before we begin.

2

Spanish-first handoff from front desk to hygiene chair

If you check in in Spanish, the same language carries through to the hygienist and to Dr. Thompson — no switching to English mid-visit to explain what's happening. Parents can stay in the operatory with younger kids throughout the cleaning.

3

Sibling back-to-back scheduling off the 610 Loop

Families driving in from MacGregor, OST/South Union, or South Park can request adjacent chairs so two or three kids finish around the same time. Tell the front desk when you call so we block the hygiene rooms together.

Why Dental Exams & Check-ups Matters — Houston

Prevention is 10x cheaper than treatment. A little care now saves a lot later.

Early childhood caries on primary molars can progress to the pulp within months, and a cleaning-and-exam visit is where we catch the enamel lesion while it's still reversible with fluoride varnish.

Skipped preventive visits are the single biggest predictor of a Medicaid child ending up in our emergency chair for an abscess or extraction that a sealant would have prevented.

An age-7 orthodontic screening during preventive care is how we flag crowding, crossbite, or ectopic canines early — waiting until middle school usually means longer treatment and higher out-of-pocket cost.

DON'T WAIT

A short visit now prevents hours in the dental chair later.

What's Included in Your Dental Exams & Check-ups — Houston

Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Houston, TX for dental exams & check-ups:

1.

Bitewing and periapical radiographic screening

Digital bitewings catch interproximal caries between molars that a visual exam misses, and selective periapicals confirm root and bone health when a tooth is symptomatic.

2.

Rubber-cup prophy with pumice paste

A soft rubber cup and low-abrasion pumice paste lift plaque and extrinsic stain from enamel without the high-pitched ultrasonic that tends to startle pediatric patients on a first visit.

3.

Hand-scaler supragingival calculus removal

A Gracey or sickle scaler removes hardened calculus above the gumline tooth-by-tooth, with piezo ultrasonic reserved for heavier adult deposits.

4.

5% sodium fluoride varnish application

A thin coat of 5% NaF varnish is painted onto dried enamel surfaces at the end of the cleaning to remineralize early white-spot lesions, with no eating or drinking for 30 minutes after.

5.

Resin-based occlusal sealants on permanent molars

Flowable resin sealant is etched, primed, and light-cured into the deep pits and fissures of newly erupted 6- and 12-year molars where a toothbrush bristle can't reach.

6.

Age-7 orthodontic screening by Dr. Thompson

Dr. Thompson checks eruption sequence, arch length, and bite relationship at the same preventive visit so families know whether Phase I orthodontics will be needed before permanent canines come in.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Exams & Check-ups

Where is the Scott Street office and how do I find Suite E?

We're at 6102 Scott St, Suite E, Houston, TX 77021, in the strip of suites just south of the 610 Loop between Old Spanish Trail and Bellfort. Suite E is toward the right end of the building, and parking is right in front of the door.

Do you take Texas Medicaid and CHIP for my kids' cleanings?

Yes. We verify Medicaid and CHIP eligibility at the front desk when you check in, so you'll know what's covered before your child is seated. If you're an uninsured adult in the same family, ask about self-pay options while you're here.

What are your hours, and can I bring my child after school?

Monday, Tuesday, and Friday we're 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM; Wednesday and Thursday we run 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM for after-school and after-work visits; Saturday we're open 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. To book, call (281) 519-0725.

Can siblings be seen back-to-back so I don't make two trips?

Yes — tell the front desk when you call (281) 519-0725 and we'll block adjacent chairs so brothers and sisters finish around the same time. It's the most common request we get from families coming in from the Third Ward and South Park.

About This Office

Dental Exams & Check-ups in Houston

What makes our Houston office unique for dental exams & check-ups

Dental Exams & Check-ups for Houston Families

Our Scott Street office sits at 6102 Scott St, Suite E, just south of the 610 Loop in Houston's Third Ward, a short drive from Texas Southern University and the University of Houston. Families from MacGregor, OST/South Union, and the South Park colonia stop in before school drop-off or after picking kids up from HISD campuses along Cullen and Old Spanish Trail.

Many of our neighbors speak Spanish at home, juggle Medicaid and CHIP coverage for their children, and want a dental home where the same team can handle a six-year-old's first cleaning today and her older sister's braces consult down the road. Preventive visits here are built around that reality: bilingual front-desk intake, pediatric-trained hygienists who know how to settle a nervous first-timer, and orthodontic screening built into the same appointment so parents don't have to shuttle between two offices later.
