What Is Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry is a special type of oral health care, specifically for children from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric dentists undergo the same dental training as general dentists, followed by an additional two years of study devoted solely to dentistry practice for children. The curriculum includes learning about:

•       Primary dentition (baby teeth)
•       Mixed dentition
•       Behavioral psychology
•       Early childhood development
•       Pediatric sedation
•       Special needs patient care

The additional training ensures that a pediatric dentist has the necessary tools to provide excellent dental care to children of all ages and circumstances.

The Importance of Dental Visits for Your Child

The earlier a child receives regular dental care, the better their chances of enjoying a healthy smile for life. Early dental checkups instill the importance of oral hygiene in young children and help them establish healthy habits that will serve them well in adulthood. Pediatric dentists have the training and skills to make early dental visits enjoyable for kids.

Dental cleanings and exams are the best defense against cavities. An untreated dental cavity leads to painful tooth decay and other health issues. Furthermore, if a child’s introduction to the dentist is a potentially uncomfortable treatment, they may grow up with an aversion to dental visits.
