What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry involves providing treatment for children through adolescents. Young patients receiving dental treatment at an early age are less likely to develop serious issues later in life. Pediatric visits provide a strong foundation for a positive relationship with dentistry well into the future.
Benefits of Pediatric Dentistry
Catch Issues Early
The dentist can more easily detect and address early-stage problems when children visit regularly. Children sometimes do not have the vocabulary to tell their parents they have a problem, and occasionally serious issues go undiagnosed until it is too late to save the tooth. Regular monitoring can fix this issue.
Overcome Dental Anxiety
Children who develop a positive relationship with their dentist are less likely to feel anxious or phobic later in life. We ensure that your child's early experiences are positive.
Reinforce Home Care
The dentist and hygienist provide vital home care instruction for parents and children. Incorrect tooth brushing and flossing techniques could lead to increased levels of plaque and tartar, gum disease, and cavities.
Support Lifelong Oral Health
Children who start seeing a dentist early on are more likely to have strong and healthy teeth into adulthood.
