"I have always been scared of the dentist and now taking my kids i have been terrified. I took 2 of my 7 kids to him and the other 2 are now to have dental work also. But with the first surgery on my 3 year old - Was awesome. He was sedative but does not remember a thing and was not in pain after the medicine wore off. I was shocked with all the work that was done. I have to say this also - my son says he wants to go to the dr now...lol Now my older son who is 8 who has had treatment from a differnet dr when he was 3 was terrified to go back. But this doctor is so sweet. My son has had some teeth pulled and recovered nicely. I love this doctor. And when my other 2 kids went in to see him for their exams, they were ready to go back. Yes he may not be in everyones network, but you get what you pay for and he is well worth it."

"I have been taking my daughter to Dr. Matthews since she was a child. She got her braces from Dr. M. & although my daughter was a special case w/a small mouth & too many teeth, Dr. M. worked on saving as many teeth as possible. The staff is great. My daughter is now 17 & does not fear going to the dentist. She looks forwrd to getting her teeth cleaned on regular intervals. Thank you Dr. M & your team for being so GREAT!! w/kids and making their experience one that is positive for a lifetime.

Thank you,
Emily, Eli & Kimberly Ortiz"

Baby teeth are so cute and little! But when should a dentist see those little things? Baby teeth have lots of different names: milk teeth, baby teeth, and deciduous teeth. The last name is the actual dental definition. Deciduous means “falling off at maturity” or “tending to fall.” It is usually associated with trees, but in this case it’s teeth that are “falling” out, and new permanent ones will take their place. In any case, deciduous teeth need to be... read more

Children's orthodontics | Dr. Richard Matthews | Pediatric Dentist | Spring, Texas

It used to be that kids got braces when they were in middle school or even high school. Now it seems that children are starting orthodontics in elementary school. Why the rush? There have been studies that show that the sooner children start some kind of orthodontics, the more successful their treatment will be. Although most orthodontic problems are best treated with traditional braces, some problems need to be treated as soon as they are noticed, no matter how young a child is. Because... read more
