Every child deserves a healthy, beautiful smile, and specialized pediatric dental care makes that possible through gentle, age-appropriate treatment designed just for growing patients. At House of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we understand children have unique dental needs that require specialized training, techniques, and a child-friendly approach. Our experienced pediatric dentists create positive dental experiences that build confidence and establish healthy habits lasting a lifetime.
House of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics serves families across Cypress, TX and surrounding communities including Bridgeland, Copperfield, Katy, and the Northwest Houston area. Dr. Goodloe brings board-certified expertise in dental exams, preventive cleanings, and pediatric sedation dentistry — all under one roof with our board-certified orthodontist Dr. Harmon. From your child’s very first visit to complex restorative care, we’re the pediatric dental home Cypress families return to year after year.
Regular dental exams are the foundation of your child’s oral health. Dr. Goodloe checks for early signs of cavities, monitors jaw development, and screens for bite issues that are much easier to address when caught young. Kids who come in consistently from an early age build confidence at the dentist — visits feel routine, not scary. We recommend the first exam by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing.
Professional cleanings remove the plaque and tartar that build up in spots your child’s toothbrush can’t reach — especially around molars and along the gumline. We pair every cleaning with a fluoride treatment and a gentle exam, so parents leave knowing exactly where their child’s oral health stands. Most children do best with cleanings every six months, though Dr. Goodloe may recommend a different schedule based on your child’s specific needs.
Dental emergencies don’t wait for business hours — and neither do we. Whether your child knocked out a tooth, has a severe toothache, or suffered a dental injury during sports or play, our team is equipped to help quickly. We see same-day emergency patients at our Cypress office. Call us at 281-727-0511 and we’ll get your child in as soon as possible to relieve pain and protect the tooth.
Dental sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back molars — the teeth most prone to cavities. The treatment is quick, painless, and highly effective at keeping bacteria out of the deep grooves where kids often miss when brushing. Sealants are typically recommended for permanent molars as soon as they come in, usually between ages 6 and 12.
Fluoride is one of the most effective tools we have for preventing cavities in children. During each cleaning visit, we apply a professional-strength fluoride treatment that strengthens tooth enamel and helps remineralize areas affected by early decay. Fluoride is safe, fast, and especially valuable for children who are still developing consistent brushing habits or whose diet includes more sugar than ideal.
When a cavity needs treatment, we use tooth-colored composite fillings that match your child’s natural tooth. Composite resin requires less removal of healthy tooth structure. Dr. Goodloe uses his tell-show-do technique to keep kids calm throughout the process.
A pulpotomy treats decay that has reached a baby tooth nerve by removing the infected pulp while preserving the tooth. Keeping baby teeth until they fall naturally matters for spacing, chewing, and speech. Dr. Goodloe uses his tell-show-do approach that puts kids at ease throughout the procedure.
When a tooth is too damaged to save, extraction is the right choice. At House of Smiles we explain every step in child-friendly terms and use appropriate numbing. After extraction we discuss whether a space maintainer may be needed to hold the gap until the permanent tooth arrives.

We recommend children visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Starting early lets Dr. Goodloe catch developmental issues before they become problems and helps your child build comfort with dental care from the start.
Most children benefit from check-ups every six months. This rhythm lets Dr. Goodloe catch any developing cavities or bite concerns early — before they become more involved to treat. Some children with a higher cavity risk or active orthodontic treatment may need more frequent visits; Dr. Goodloe will let you know what schedule makes sense for your child specifically.
Your child’s first visit is designed to be low-key and positive. Dr. Goodloe uses his tell-show-do technique — he explains what he’s going to do in child-friendly language, shows your child each instrument before it touches their mouth, then gently performs the exam. For a very young child, we typically count teeth, check the bite and gums, and talk through brushing technique with parents. There are no surprises, no pressure, and plenty of praise along the way.
Yes — dental emergencies are one of the reasons families in Cypress choose House of Smiles. We see same-day emergency patients whenever possible. Common pediatric emergencies we handle include knocked-out or chipped teeth, severe toothaches, dental injuries from sports or falls, and abscesses. Call us immediately at 281-727-0511 and our team will triage the situation and get your child seen as quickly as possible.
Many children feel nervous about dental visits — that’s completely normal, and it’s something Dr. Goodloe has spent his career addressing. His tell-show-do approach means your child is never surprised: every instrument is explained and demonstrated before it touches their mouth, and child-friendly language replaces clinical terms (the “little whistle” instead of the drill, for example). For children with significant dental anxiety, we also offer nitrous oxide and other sedation options to make treatment comfortable and stress-free.
