Preventative Dentistry
Our preventive dentistry focuses on early detection and proactive care to maintain optimal oral health. We provide regular checkups, professional cleanings, and personalized hygiene instruction tailored to each child's developmental stage. Our approach emphasizes education and positive reinforcement to establish lifelong dental habits.
Emergency Dental Care
We offer urgent care for dental injuries and acute oral conditions requiring immediate attention. Our team is equipped to handle trauma, infections, and pain management with compassionate, timely treatment. Parents can contact us directly for after-hours emergency guidance and triage.
Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation dentistry services help anxious patients receive necessary care in a comfortable environment. We offer non-IV conscious sedation administered by experienced professionals with advanced monitoring equipment. This option is particularly beneficial for complex procedures or children with special healthcare needs.
Special Needs Dentistry
We provide customized dental care for children with physical, developmental, or medical conditions requiring additional expertise. Our team has specialized training in managing complex cases and creating adaptive treatment plans. We work closely with families and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care coordination.
Oral Health Exams
Comprehensive oral evaluations assess children's dental development, bite alignment, and overall oral health. We use age-appropriate techniques to examine teeth, gums, and mouth structures while educating patients about their findings. Regular exams help detect issues early when they're most treatable.

Dr Po and his staff were wonderful with my 4 year old. Made her first trip to the dentist pleasant and took the time to explain everything to her so she wouldn't be nervous. Highly recommend.

Dr. Po and his staff are phenomenal. Before arriving my daughter was nervous about her first cavity. After getting in to the office she was quickly put at ease. She was cold and they had blankets on stand by. She also really loved the Disney movie playing on the tv in the room. It was a great experience for both of us. I highly recommend Pediatric Dentist of Katy.

We just love Dr. Po and his staff. We have been coming here for years and always feel like family. Dr. Po does an excellent job of engaging with the kids in a way that they can relate to. Any dental work that needs to be performed is done with care. He is great at multitasking by explaining to the child everything that he is doing every step of the way while he is performing the work. I highly recommend him to ALL of my friends that have children!
