Kids do better at the dentist when the visit is short, calm and predictable. At Dr. Chelsea Mason Dental on Shrestha Dr in Bay City, children are seen by the same team that cares for their parents, in a judgment-free office with a bilingual English and Spanish staff. Checkups, cleanings, sealants and fluoride happen here, and if a child needs more than a cleaning, the same office handles it without a referral across town.
Dr. Chelsea Mason sees children, their parents and often their grandparents. She keeps a child’s first visits short and relaxed, explains what she is doing in words kids understand and is happy to have parents in the room. Because she treats adults too, your child can stay with the same dentist through the teen years and beyond.
A first visit is mostly a look and a conversation. As kids grow, we add cleanings, sealants on the back molars, fluoride to strengthen enamel, and fillings when needed. Because Dr. Chelsea Mason also treats teens and adults, your child never has to switch offices, and we already know their history when Invisalign or wisdom teeth come up later.

The American Dental Association recommends a first visit by the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth. Early visits are short and mostly about getting comfortable. Call or text (989) 686-6110 to schedule.
Yes. We see children from their first visit through the teen years, and because we also treat adults, the whole family can be seen in one Bay City office.
Sealants are a thin protective coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of back molars, where most childhood cavities start. They are quick, painless and recommended for most kids once the permanent molars come in.
We go at your child’s pace, explain each step in plain words, and parents are welcome in the room. Many nervous kids do well with a short first visit that is just a look and a ride in the chair.
Yes. We accept all dental insurance, including children’s plans. We are in network with Delta Dental and file the claim for you with every other plan. Call or text (989) 686-6110 with the plan name and we will check the benefits before the visit.
