Pediatric Dentists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and preventative care of
children’s teeth. They treat children from birth to adolescence. Some treatments include cleaning, preventative care, dental exams, and recommendation for orthopedic treatment. Preventative care focuses on the of children’s teeth to prevent a variety of problems that may occur during development. Pediatric Dentists also commonly provide a customized environment to keep children happy and comfortable during their visits.
Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), & the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a “Dental Home” for your child by one year of age. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive & routine oral health care.
Education in prevention, treatment of dental disease and support will be part of the environment in your dental home. We consider ourselves as part of “the village” that it takes to raise a child.
