As pediatric dentist in Chicago, Dr. Boyd, is trained to create a positive enjoyable experience for children visiting the dental office.
Pediatric dentists must complete a two-year specialty residency in addition to their basic four years of dental school. The residency focuses on the special care of children from infancy through adolescence. The doctors learn about the processes of a growing, changing and developing child. They learn specifically about the mouth, face, head and neck development. This residency also teaches dentists how the growing body’s health and nutrition relates to the oral health of the growing child. During these studies dentists learn how to calm an anxious young patient and how to use the dental equipment designed for children.
Dr. Boyd, like most pediatric dentists, specializes in the care of infants, children and adolescents as well as children and adults with special needs . Dental care for an infant should begin as early as six months, or at the time the child receives his/her first tooth. A pediatric dentist is trained to understand the growth and development of the mouth, the process of oral maturation and can identify and correct irregular growth patterns to create a solid bite and beautiful smile.
Pediatric dental offices often function, look, and feel different from a general dentist offices. It is all part of helping a child and family have positive dental experiences. At Dentistry For Children we focus on helping the child understand the importance and simplicity of a healthy nutrition and good oral health routines that will create strong beautiful teeth to last a lifetime.
