Pediatric dentistry is a branch of dentistry that deals with the oral health of children from birth to adolescence.

A pediatric dentist is specially trained to deal with children’s unique oral health needs. They are also familiar with the behavioral aspects of child development, which can make dental appointments more pleasant for both child and parent.

A pediatric dentist can provide a wide range of dental services for children, including preventive care, diagnosis and treatment of dental problems, and restorative dentistry.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday.

There are a few things you can do to make your child’s dental appointment more pleasant:

– Choose a pediatric dentist with experience treating children and friendly, welcoming office staff.

– Explain to your child what to expect during the dental appointment positively.

– Bring along a favorite.
