Pediatric Dentistry
A happy face with a beautiful smile
What is Pediatric dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is a dental specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of oral health problems in children. Pediatric dentists have specific training that qualifies them to provide care for children’s teeth and gums as they change throughout childhood. Pediatric dentists provide comprehensive care, from preventative treatment like cleanings and sealants to treatment for oral disease and injuries. A pediatric dentist will also counsel parents about a child’s nutritional and oral hygiene habits.
Why choose a Pediatric Dentist?
Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry and specialize in treating the unique needs of children. They are well–versed in child psychology, child growth and development, and treatment of patients with special healthcare needs. They have the experience and qualifications to care for a child’s teeth, gums and mouth from infancy through adoloscence. A positive dental experience early in life can carry into adulthood, and a caring provider will partner with parents to determine the best approach of treatment for your little one.
