Comprehensive care for every stage of childhood

From first birthdays to teenage years, our services cover every need — preventive, restorative, and developmental — all in a setting where kids actually want to be.

Preventive Dentistry

Regular checkups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to protect developing teeth and catch problems early.

Restorative Care

Composite fillings, stainless steel crowns, and pulp therapy using the least invasive techniques for lasting results.

Orthodontic Screening

Early assessment of bite and alignment issues, with timely referrals to trusted orthodontists when needed.

Sports Medicine

Custom-fitted mouthguards and sports injury care to keep young athletes protected on the field.

Behavior Guidance

Tell-show-do techniques, positive reinforcement, and a calm environment that puts anxious kids at ease.

Sedation Dentistry

About Us

A practice built around your child, not the other way around

Tailwind Pediatric Dentistry was founded on a simple belief: every child deserves a dental experience that builds trust rather than fear. Located in the heart of Wayzata, our office is designed to feel welcoming — not clinical.

Our team brings decades of combined experience in pediatric dentistry, child psychology, and family-centered care. We take the time to understand each child's unique needs, communication style, and comfort level before recommending any treatment.

Our Approach

Why families choose Tailwind

We've built a practice where kids look forward to their visits and parents feel confident in every decision.

01

Warm, Child-Centered Environment

Our office is designed like a play space, not a clinic. From the themed treatment rooms to the toy corner, every detail is chosen to help kids feel at home.

02

Evidence-Based, Minimally Invasive

We follow the latest clinical guidelines and prioritize preventive care. When treatment is needed, we choose the least invasive option that delivers the best long-term outcome.

03

Transparent Communication

No surprises, no jargon. We explain every finding, option, and recommendation in plain language — and we always involve you and your child in the decision-making process.

04

Continuity of Care

We track your child's dental development from their first visit through adolescence, building a complete record that supports long-term oral health planning.

Family Stories

What parents in Wayzata are saying

My son used to panic before every dental visit. After just a few appointments at Tailwind, he actually asks to go. The team treats him like a person, not a number.

The level of patience and explanation here is unmatched. They took the time to walk us through every option for our daughter's treatment, and we never felt rushed.

Both of my kids see Tailwind now. The office is beautiful, the staff is incredibly kind, and the care is top-notch. I recommend them to every parent I know.
