What is a Pediatric Dentist?

In the same way that pediatricians are trained to meet a child’s medical needs, pediatric dental specialists are uniquely qualified to protect your child’s oral health, using the most advanced techniques. While general dentist are willing and able to see children, there are some children that need a pediatric dentist for dental care for the same reason they see a pediatrician for medical care.

A pediatric dentist is a doctor of dentistry who has two to three years of special training in addition to dental school, and limits his or her practice exclusively to the treatment of children, infancy through teenage years, including those with special medical needs. We understand and are experienced in dealing with the unique dental issues and concerns that go along with each stage of childhood. The very young, pre-teens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems. The pediatric dentist is best qualified to meet these needs.

The importance of early dental care cannot be overstated, as it sets the foundation for lifelong oral health. Regular check-ups help identify potential issues before they become more serious, ensuring that any concerns are addressed promptly. From the first tooth to the teenage years, children benefit greatly from proactive dental services designed to safeguard their developing teeth.
