Why a Pediatric Dentist?

A pediatric dentist specializes in the treatment of children from infancy through early adulthood and patients with special needs. Pediatric dentists have an extra two-three years of training at dental schools in addition to four years of dental school and four years of college study. They learn how to deal with the behavioral aspects of children, how to make them feel comfortable, and how to make the experience pleasant. They are also trained and qualified to treat special needs patients. Children are not just small adults! Their teeth, brains, physiology, and temperament are very different from adults and pediatric dentists are trained to manage all of those differences. Our office provides specialized dentistry for children and adolescents in a warm, caring and child-friendly environment.
