Why Choose a Pediatric Denist?
A pediatric dentist has specialized training that is focused on the dental needs of children from birth to young adulthood. A pediatric dentist is similar to a general dentist in that both are required to complete a four-year dental program at an accredited dental school.
To become a pediatric dentist, a dentist must then apply for and be accepted into a highly competitive two-year residency program that provides the intensive training required to be considered a specialist. This residency program includes dental care for newborns, infants/toddlers, children, teens and those with special needs.
Our pediatric dentists have met these higher levels of educational requirements to limit their practice to the specialized dental care children require for proper growth/development. We also help them establish proper oral hygiene habits for proper lifelong care of their teeth.
