What does a pediatric dentist do?

Pediatric dentistry is a dental specialty that focuses on children's dental needs. A pediatric dentist provides many of the same services as a regular dentist, but in an environment designed specifically for children.

What is the difference between a dentist and a pediatric dentist?

The primary difference between a dentist and a pediatric dentist, other than the patients they treat, is that pediatric dentists must undergo an additional two to three years of training after graduating from dental school to pursue this specialty.

Should my child see a pediatric dentist?

Yes, we believe every child should see a pediatric dentist for their dental care. Because they are specialists, pediatric dentists have more extensive training, knowledge, and experience treating children. We enjoy working with kids and go out of our way to make our patients feel at ease when they come to see us.

When should kids start seeing a dentist?

The American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry both recommend that children see a dentist by the age of 12 months or within six months of the emergence of their first tooth, whichever comes first. These early visits allow us to form a bond with your child and give you the tools you need to keep his or her teeth healthy and strong.

How often do kids need to go to the dentist?

Every six months, children should visit the dentist for a comprehensive dental evaluation and cleaning. This is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your child's teeth and gums and avoid tooth decay.
