Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?
There are a number of reasons why you should choose a pediatric dentist for your child. Pediatric dentists receive specialty training in addition to their doctorate in dentistry. During the two-year period after dental school, pediatric dentists learn skills specific to treating children. The doctors learn how to provide care for special needs patients, young children, and fearful children.
Pediatric dentists also learn more about growth and development. This allows them to identify orthodontic problems early, in order to suggest the most effective treatment.
When children first visit the dentist, it can cause anxiety. If their early visits to the dentist are not pleasant, it could lead to a lifetime of dental phobia. Pediatric dentists often usually have ways to make the dental visit fun and comforting for the child.
The AAPD, American Associattion of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child see a dentist before his/her first birthday. This initial visit will get the child comfortable with dental visits. It also will allow the pediatric dentist to evaluate your child's oral health. Oral problems in babies can be treated painlessly if they are identified early.
