Services
Here at Northwoods Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to specialize in pediatric dentistry. We truly believe in starting children off right when it comes to their dental health. It is our goal to ensure that each visit goes well so that they think of the dentist's office as a good place. Our entire staff is wonderful with children, allowing them to relax while we care for their teeth.
Preventive dentistry is a treatment philosophy that aims to prevent dental problems from developing, rather than responding with treatments as they arise. It involves maintaining regular checkups and dental cleanings with the team at Northwoods Pediatric Dentistry, taking certain preventive measures like sealants and fluoride treatments, and practicing good oral hygiene at home with regular brushing and flossing.
Your child's smile is a gift that needs proper care. Kaylynn Saigh, DDS, MS, is a dedicated and compassionate pediatric dentist providing exceptional care at Northwoods Pediatric Dentistry in Kingsford, Michigan. If it's time for your child's first appointment, schedule an age 1 dental visit with the team today by calling the office or using the online booking tool.
We can also fix missing teeth and have many options for how we do so. Typically, we like to place implants, which will act like the tooth's replacement root. On top of the implants, we use crowns, which are artificial teeth, to restore your child's mouth with normal-sized and shaped teeth. A crown is a cap that covers up your child's entire tooth above the gumline.
For this reason, the American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association believe that topical fluoride is necessary for good oral health. Because of this, you may be wondering if your child needs fluoride treatments. Often water is enhanced with fluoride, so additional fluoride treatments are not necessary.

We have visited the office during this uncertain times and following procedures and putting everyone’s health as a priority says a lot. Requiring face masks, especially in medical settings is reasonable and expected.
Having a pediatrics dentist is an asset to our community. Dr. K is thorough with the service she provides. Her office and clinical staff are friendly, which helps ease the visits for kids (and adults). These positive assets outweighs the face mask requirement and it certainly does not diminish their quality of service.

We started seeing Dr. K after we were advised our 9 year old needed a root canal and wanted a second opinion and by one who specializes in pediatric dentistry. We did not need a root canal and my 9 year old loves Dr. K. She does an excellent job educating about dental health and is fun with the kids. We are fortunate to have a pediatric dentist in our small town! Northwoods Pediatric Dentistry goes beyond in service! I’m always greeted pleasantly, I always receive multiple appointment reminders and calls, and as a busy mom I appreciate that! Their Covid plans have also been top notch. They have

It a very good dentist my kids loves going there I would give it a 5 but right know I can not because I can not wait in the waiting room with out a mask I can not handle a mask on my face I will freak out so I have to send my 6 year old in the dentist office all by her self. I do not like that at all. I am really thinking about looking for a new place to go.

I am extremely grateful to have Dr. Saigh as my personal dentist.
He has been very patient, understanding, is extremely thorough and takes whatever time needed to research and treat any issues and care I need to take care of and save my teeth. Years ago when I retired to the UP, it took me almost a year to select him over 3 other dental clinics in the area. I recommend Northwoods over anybody else. Rob

Unfortunately I was asked to leave the building while my minor child be seen alone inside without me because I didn't have a mask. I have asthma which prevents me from wearing a mask safely. I would give zero stars if I could since I am able to visit many other establishments without a mask during these times without any issue.

Was late for my appt and they wouldn't take my 3 yr old in OR reschedule even though I showed up 15 min late. And they called literally 5 min before I walked thru the door for the appt to see if I was running late. So if I had answered the phone they would have taken him in????? Girls at desk were rude and yes I swore seeing as how I drove an hour to get my little guy there.
