Would you like to learn more about whom we treat? This page explains.
How Is a Pediatric Dentist Different Than a General Dentist?
A pediatric dentist has the same basic training as a general dentist; both are qualified to provide a range of treatments for a wide variety of patients. However, a pediatric dentist has committed years of extra time to learning the ins and outs of treating growing smiles. Therefore, our pediatric dentists are uniquely qualified to help young people enjoy optimum oral health.
Dentistry for Infants
It is recommended that infants have their first dental checkup by the time they reach their first birthday. Usually, their appointment should be around six months after the first tooth comes in. Our team will examine your baby’s mouth, give you tips on how to care for their smile at home, and answer any questions you may have about their oral health.
Dentistry for Toddlers
Toddlers are just entering the stage when they can start to learn about the importance of caring for their teeth. Not only can we thoroughly clean their dentition and look for signs of developing issues, but we can also help you to instill good habits in your little one. For example, we can provide age-appropriate advice on how they can prevent cavities.
Dentistry for Kids
Once your child has all of their primary (baby teeth), we will continue to focus on cavity prevention. We will also keep a close eye on the development of incoming adult teeth and recommend any necessary interventions. In some cases, we refer families to a local orthodontist who can help to guide the development of a child’s teeth and jaw.
Dentistry for Teens
Does your teen like to play sports and need a mouthguard? Are you wondering if their wisdom teeth need to be removed? Do they need extra guidance on how to choose smile-friendly foods and beverages? Whatever oral health concerns may be affecting your adolescent, our team is ready to provide necessary treatment and advice.
Dentistry for Kids with Special Needs
Some children have physical or behavioral conditions that affect both their oral health and their ability to receive professional care. Our team welcomes kids with special needs; we treat them with extra kindness and gentleness. When necessary, we can use sedation or other means to help them stay calm and remain still while we carry out any needed procedures.
