General Dentist Focused on Teen & Adolescent Dental Care in Katy and Sugar Land, TX
Meet Dr. Cindy Hurd
Teens have unique dental needs that go far beyond young childhood care, yet they often outgrow the traditional pediatric office feel. As a general dentist with a deep focus on teen dentistry, Dr. Cindy Hurd bridges that gap. She provides comprehensive, respectful, and modern dental care tailored specifically to teenagers, young adults, and their evolving smiles across Katy and Sugar Land.
Dr. Cindy Hurd discovered her passion for children's and teen dentistry at a young age. As a child, she struggled with low self-esteem due to her smile and avoided speaking because of it. But after a few life-changing visits to her orthodontist and dentist, her confidence blossomed.
That transformation inspired her to pursue a career where she could do the same for others. Today, Dr. Cindy is devoted to helping children overcome fear and find their confidence—one healthy smile at a time. Dr. Cindy is known as the "teen doctor" at Healthy Teeth Pediatric Dentistry and is skilled in treating this age range.

Regular Exams & Cleanings
Routine visits help us monitor your child’s growth and catch any issues early. These gentle, kid-friendly appointments also reinforce good habits from the start.
Learn MoreDigital X-rays
Fast, safe, and low-radiation imaging helps us see what’s happening beneath the surface. We use digital X-rays to detect issues that aren’t visible during a visual exam.
Learn MoreFluoride Treatment
Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and protect against cavities. We provide safe, in-office applications to keep your child’s teeth strong and healthy.
Learn MoreSealants
Sealants are thin coatings applied to back molars to prevent food and bacteria from getting stuck in grooves. They offer an easy layer of protection against decay.
Learn MoreFillings
When cavities happen, we use tooth-colored materials to restore your child’s smile quickly and comfortably. Our goal is to keep things pain-free and stress-free.
Learn MoreCrowns
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, we use crowns to protect it. We offer durable, esthetic options like white resin and zirconia for a natural look.
Learn MoreExtractions
In some cases, a tooth may need to be removed to protect your child’s oral health. Our dentists ensure the process is gentle and carefully explained.
Learn MoreMouth Guards
Custom mouth guards protect teeth from sports injuries or nighttime grinding. We create comfortable, well-fitting guards to keep growing smiles safe.
Learn MoreFrenectomy
A frenectomy can help improve speech, feeding, and dental development by releasing tight tissue in the mouth. We perform this simple procedure with precision and care.
Learn MoreGum Disease
Gum inflammation and disease can develop even in children. We offer thorough cleanings, gentle treatments, and education to keep gums healthy.
Learn MoreSpace Maintainers
If a baby tooth is lost early, space maintainers help guide permanent teeth into the correct position. These custom appliances support proper bite and alignment.
Learn MoreLaser
We use WaterLase laser technology for a variety of soft tissue procedures. It’s quiet, minimally invasive, and helps reduce healing time.
Learn MoreSedation Dentistry
For children who need extra support during treatment, we offer safe sedation options—including nitrous oxide, conscious sedation, and IV sedation—to ensure their comfort and cooperation.
Learn MoreHospital Dentistry
When care in a hospital setting is needed—whether due to complexity, age, or medical needs—we provide full-service pediatric dentistry under general anesthesia.
