The Specialty Care
As your child begins to grow, and their teeth begin to grow with them, it is important to consider their oral health. Once your child turns one, a first visit to the dentist should be just around the corner. This can lead to the question of who is best fit to take care of your child’s teeth and gums? Well the correct answer is a Pediatric Dentist. Unlike a regular dentist that takes care of adult’s teeth, a Pediatric dentist focuses on the oral health of children ranging from infants to teenagers. After dental school, a Pediatric Dentist continues schooling with a focus on the necessary steps and procedures involved in making sure a child has the best oral health possible. The job requires a specific skill set because our teeth go through major development stages from when we are born until we are teenagers. A regular dentist will not have the best knowledge on how to take care of your child’s teeth through all the different stages of development, but a pediatric dentist will.
The Office Environment
Everything about a Pediatric Dentist visit is aimed at making sure your child is comfortable with the experience and actually enjoys going to the Dentist! In our office you will find sea-themed decorations on the walls as well as a number of TV’s. Your child will also get prizes and balloons at their visit. From the start to the finish of an appointment, our goal is to make sure your child is not only educated on oral care, but is presented with a fun environment so they won’t have any fears of the dentist.
