Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?

Pediatric dentists are to dentistry what pediatricians are to medicine. After four years of dental school, pediatric dentists attend 2-3 additional years of advanced, specialized training. This residency qualifies them to best meet the diverse needs of toddlers, pre-teens, teenagers, and children with special needs.  A pediatric dental office is designed especially for children and the goal is to provide a positive experience for each and every child.

As a children only dental office, we only use the latest advances in dentistry for children. Just as a pediatrician develops his or her special talents, skills and knowledge for working with children’s bodily health, a pediatric dentist does the same to more effectively manage a child’s dental health.

During specialty training, pediatric dentists also receive extensive instruction in providing dental care to both handicapped and medically compromised patients of all ages.  Whether providing care within the pediatric dental office, surgical center, or hospital operating room, their training makes a pediatric dentist the authority in this sub-specialty.  

Importance of Baby Teeth

It is very important to maintain the health of the primary teeth. Neglected cavities can and frequently do lead to problems which affect developing permanent teeth. 

Primary teeth, or baby teeth are important for:

  •  Proper chewing and eating
  •  Space for the permanent teeth
  •  Proper guides for the Permanent teeth
  •  Normal development of the jaw bones and muscles
  •  Speech 
  •  Esthetics
  •  Front teeth replaced from 6-9 years old, back teeth replaced at 10-13 years old
