Why should parents choose a Pediatric Dentist for their children?
We often get asked this question by parents who contemplate taking their children to their family dentist or general dentist. While general and family dentists work mostly with adult patients, pediatric dentists are like pediatricians of the mouth. A pediatric dentist is specifically trained in all aspects of growth and development. This knowledge gives the specialist an awareness of the individual dental and emotional needs of a growing child. The result is age-appropriate, personalized attention. The entire focus of our practice is on young people, relating to them, developing a relationship of trust with each child and his/her parents, fostering good dental health and good oral hygiene habits, and ultimately instilling a healthy and positive attitude towards dental visits.
