About Us

Healthy Smiles All Around Fort Collins

Thinking about your child’s teeth might not be a big cause for smiles.

If you’re like us, you’ve worried about cavities, brushing, and whether people will judge you for not even attempting to floss your toddler’s teeth.

You want your kids to be happy and have a strong foundation for a lifetime of health. You know that visiting the dentist is a part of that goal, but finding one who is actually good with kids is a chore. (And what if your child throws a fit in the dentist chair?!?) The pediatric dental team at Rockies Kids DDS in Fort Collins can help families find comfort during visits to the dentist’s office.
