Why Choose Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentists have additional education that focuses specifically on dental care for children. This includes training to evaluate growing mouths, emerging teeth, and the various potential oral issues that can happen during childhood.
Additionally, we have education in child psychology to help us relate to children on their level. We are better able to soothe their nerves and make their visits fun for them. Pediatric dental specialists are also qualified to treat patients with special needs.
If you have concerns about your child’s visit, we encourage you to give us a call. We will be happy to discuss ahead of time how we can best accommodate them.
Your Child’s First Dental Health Visit
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists (AAPD) recommends that children have their first dental appointment by 12 months of age. During the first visit, you will have your child on your lap in a comfortable way for you both. Their exam will consist of a general development evaluation.
We will also discuss questions or concerns you may have about how to care for your child’s teeth and gums. Our goal is to make sure you and your child feel comfortable about the prescribed dental care. Beginning good oral hygiene habits early helps ensure your child’s healthy mouth for years!
