Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?
Welcome to Dentistry For Children – Pediatric dentists complete 2-3 extra years of education beyond dental school to specialize in treating children. This training equips them with better knowledge and skills in child psychology and behavior than regular dentists. At Dentistry For Children, we care for kids from their first tooth until age 18. We aim to set them on a lifelong path of good oral health.
Benefits of Pediatric Dentistry – Welcome to Dentistry For Children!
We accept children of all ages, unlike many family practices. Early dental care prevents tooth decay and gum disease. Regular visits help reduce anxiety and stress in young patients. Baby teeth differ from permanent teeth and need special care. Pediatric dentists can:
- Anticipate future dental issues
- Treat problems specific to children (tongue ties, teething, baby bottle decay)
- Address habits like thumb sucking and pacifier use
Creating a Comfortable Environment
At our child-friendly office, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of both parents and children. We understand that visits to a healthcare facility can be daunting for young ones, which is why we have designed our environment and services to create a welcoming atmosphere for families.
For children who may feel particularly anxious or those with special needs, we provide sedation options tailored to their individual requirements. Our goal is to ensure that every child receives the care they need without unnecessary stress. We work closely with parents to discuss these options and determine the best approach for their child’s specific situation.
Available Services
We offer preventive, restorative, and emergency treatments, including:
- Regular cleanings and checkups
- X-rays and dental sealants
- Fluoride treatments
- Cavity fillings with tooth-colored resin
- Stainless steel crowns for damaged baby teeth
In instances where tooth extraction is necessary, we take proactive measures to ensure your child’s dental development remains on track. We utilize space maintainers, which are specially designed devices that help preserve the space left by the extracted tooth.
