Children's Dentistry

Hi.
A pediatric dentist is a specialist in children's dentistry.  They are uniquely qualified by advanced training past regular dental school in accredited programs to render care to children and teens.  Pediatric dentist are also trained to treat special needs patients.  Welcoming and caring for young patients is what we do.

Let's talk about your child's first visit to a dentist. What age is the best time for the first visit to the dentist.  The American Academy of Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that the visit should be when the teeth start to erupt,  about 6 months to one year of age.  Since Pediatric Dentists are specialists in children's care, you and your child will be welcomed for that all important first visit.  The patient will have an exam and there will be a discussion with the parent to address any concerns you may have regarding development, growth, and home care for your child.  Very young children are usually examined on the parents lap. This first visit is important for the child as we wish to prevent any health issues.  We will set recall visits to maintain your child's health.
