What is a Pediatric Dentist?

A Pediatric Dentist helps ensure your child’s oral health and provides care in a comfortable, age-appropriate setting. A Pediatric Dentist provides both routine and specialty oral health care for infants, children, adolescents, and persons with special health care needs. After four years of dental school, a Pediatric Dentist completes two years of additional specialty training which includes in-depth experiences in preventive care, growth and development, behavior management techniques, treatment of traumatic injuries, and treatment using sedation and general anesthesia.

Until what age will my child see a pediatric dentist?
Your child will usually maintain care with a pediatric dentist until approximately 18 years of age. At that time, young adults will usually have adult dental needs and will be best served by a general dentist.
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
Your child’s first dental visit should be within 6 months of eruption of the first tooth, but no later than 1 year of age.
What do you do if my young child won’t cooperate for the dentist’s examination?

Young children are often hesitant, scared, or resistant during an examination by a dentist – that is normal! Usually, a young child will do best for the dentist’s examination when they are laying down on a parent’s lap in a “knee to knee” position with the dentist. We will show you how to achieve the most comfortable examination for your child (and you can practice this at home!).
