Why a Pediatric Dentist?

Choosing a dentist who specializes in a pediatric practice gives parents a head start on keeping a child’s smile healthy. That’s not to say that a general family dentist is incapable of treating children, but a pediatric dentist who treats only this population has a bit of an edge due to the repetition of working with children all the time.

We provide services ranging from routine preventive care, such as cleanings, exams, sealants and fluoride treatments, to more specialized services such as custom-designed mouthguards for athletes or space maintainers in cases of premature primary tooth loss. Additionally, we offer nitrous oxide sedation to particularly fearful patients and have a great deal of experience treating children with special needs, such as patients with autism or ADHD.

Our practice has dedicated itself to creating an environment that is welcoming and reassuring to children. Our team members take time to thoroughly explain every treatment to patients so that they’ll know what to expect. We also make ample use of technology, including digital radiography, for more efficient dental appointments. We even tailor our scheduling to accommodate our patients, saving morning slots for toddlers and preschoolers who are more alert and cooperative earlier in the day. This also allows us to spend more time with them in case additional reassurance is needed.
