Frequently asked questions
How many pediatric dentists are listed in West Des Moines?
The NPI registry lists 5 providers in West Des Moines, Iowa whose primary taxonomy is pediatric dentistry: 4 individual practitioners and 1 practice or organization, at addresses in 1 ZIP code. The earliest NPI enumeration among them is from 2006.
Do I need a referral to see a pediatric dentist?
It depends on your plan. Many dental specialists see patients without a referral, but some dental HMO (DHMO) and Medicaid plans require one from your general dentist before they will pay. Check your plan documents or call the number on your insurance card before booking.
Do these pediatric dentists take my dental insurance?
The NPI registry does not record which insurance plans a provider accepts, so we do not show it. Use your insurer's online provider directory and confirm with the office by phone, since networks change.
How is a pediatric dentist different from a general dentist?
A pediatric dentist is a dentist who completed an accredited advanced education program in the specialty after dental school. Pediatric dentists care for infants, children and teens, and often for patients with special health care needs. Their offices are usually set up for younger patients and for preventive care such as sealants and fluoride.
