Reasons to Choose a Specialist
Family dentists practice general dentistry for people of all ages, but a pediatric dentist spends all day every day treating only kids. Here are a few reasons to take your child to a specialist:
Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. A pediatric dentist has two to three years specialty training following dental school and limits his/her practice to treating children only. Pediatric dentists are primary and specialty oral care providers for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health needs.
Toys and video games fill our play areas. It’s where all the cool kids hang out!
Whether your child is super shy or super chatty, a specialist knows how handle every personality that walks through the doors.
Baby teeth get cavities, too. A pediatric dentist is trained to work on baby teeth. They help him or her chew, speak and smile. They also hold space in the jaws for permanent teeth that are growing under the gums.
Pediatric specialists are also trained to treat kids with special needs.
We give away kid-friendly prizes at the end of each visit.
Pediatric dentists know how to make your child’s visit fun. Most of our patients can’t wait to come back. Imagine a child who wants to go to the dentist. Now that’s something to smile about!
