The Importance of a Pediatric Dentist

Our pediatric dentistry believes in making each and every child feel as comfortable as possible when visiting our office. We understand the hesitation children can have when they start going to the dentist and our goal is to ensure that they enjoy their dental visit every time they come to our office.

It is important for children to establish a good relationship with their pediatric dentist. This encourages good dental habits at a young age that will continue throughout the rest of their life. Our dental practice can help teach your children the healthiest dental care techniques such as how to brush, floss, and care for their teeth. We also give parents hints about how to guide their children into a healthy dental hygiene routine.

At our pediatric dentistry, we will always work with you to ensure that your children are receiving the best dental care possible. Our team understands the importance you place on choosing the right pediatric dentist for your children. We want to make sure that you and your children are comfortable and excited about visiting our dentist office.

How Is Pediatric Dentistry Different From General Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry focuses specifically on the treatment of children’s teeth starting at infancy and going until they progress into general dentistry. The structure and sensitivity of a child’s mouth is much different from the mouth of an adult. This is why pediatric dentistry uses much less evasive and more sensitive techniques when they clean children’s teeth compared to adults.

It is important that your child’s dental health is routinely inspected by a dental professional as this will help keep the teeth free from tartar and bacteria growth. Once your child is old enough to go to the dentist, they will begin to receive teeth cleanings, dental check-ups, dental x-rays, and treatments for gum disease and cavities just as an adult would. We recommend that your child sees their pediatric dentist every 6 months in order to remain in good dental health.

When To See A Pediatric Dentistry For The First Time

It is important to schedule an appointment with our family dentists as soon as your child begins to grow in their first baby teeth. The timeline for this differs for each child as this can be as early as 3 months or it could be later. We highly recommend that you schedule an appointment by your child’s first birthday at the latest point.

It is important to see a family dentist practice who has experience with pediatric dentistry as they understand the best possible practices to keep your child’s mouth clean and healthy. Going to the dentist for the first time can be intimidating for a child but working with a dentist who has experience working with kids will make the entire process much easier. We will help you child maintain a healthy smile and help establish a foundation of dental health moving forward.
