What does a pediatric dentist do?

Pediatric dentistry is a dental specialty that focuses on providing care for children. A pediatric dentist offers many of the same services as a general dentist, but in a setting tailored to children's needs.

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

Aside from the patients they serve, the most important difference between a dentist and a pediatric dentist is that pediatric dentists must complete an additional two to three years of training after graduating from dental school to pursue this specialization.

Should my child see a pediatric dentist?

Yes, we believe that every child should see a pediatric dentist for their dental care. Pediatric dentists have more extensive training, knowledge, and experience treating children because they are specialists. We also enjoy working with children, which helps our patients feel at ease when they visit us!

When should kids start seeing a dentist?

Both the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend that children first see a dentist by the age of 12 months, or six months after their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. This allows us to develop a relationship with your child so they feel comfortable visiting our office, and it’s also important for preventing tooth decay.

How often do kids need to go to the dentist?

Children should see the dentist every six months for a comprehensive dental evaluation and cleaning to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
