How is a Pediatric Dentist Different from a General Dentist?
After finishing dental school, pediatric dentists complete a two to three-year training program where they solely learn about managing children’s temperaments and how to treat varieties of dental problems. This provides them with an extensive set of knowledge and skills that allows them to offer more tailored, effective dentistry for kids.

Dentistry for Children
Between six and eight years old, your child will start losing their baby teeth to give their permanent ones the chance to erupt through the gumline and take their place. This is the perfect time for our team to emphasize the importance of good at-home oral hygiene with your little one, showing them how to properly brush and floss to keep cavities away. Also, this is the time to evaluate whether your child will need braces in the future.
