Pediatric dentistry

The health of your child and their smile is important. That’s why in addition to scheduling medical appointments, it’s essential to schedule dental appointments, as well. However, don’t have your child see just any dentist. You need to make sure that they go to a pediatric dentist.

What is a pediatric dentist?

Simply put, pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of the dental world. These dentists have completed a specialized course of dentistry that caters to children who have special needs or need gentler care in order to guarantee that your precious child receives the best oral care possible. Furthermore, every child is different, so pediatric dentists possess a wide range of approaches to help a child complete any dental treatment they may need.

Why is pediatric dentistry so important?

The importance of pediatric dentistry can not be understated. Typically, your child begins to get their baby teeth during their first 6 months. Then, by age 6 or 7, they begin to lose their first set of teeth and grow in their permanent teeth. Without proper dental care, your child can face possible tooth decay and diseases that can cause a lifetime of pain and complications.

What age should my child start going to a pediatric dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child visit the dentist by age 1 or within 6 months after their first tooth erupts.
