What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is a branch of dental care that focuses on the oral health of infants, children, adolescents and individuals with special needs. It is crucial because children’s dental needs and developmental stages differ significantly from those of adults. Our dentists and team are trained to provide comprehensive dental care for children, diagnosing and treating dental issues as well as focusing on preventive care and education.
When Should Children Visit the Dentist For the First Time?
We, along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommend that children visit a pediatric dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts. Early dental visits are essential to monitor oral development, identify potential issues and provide guidance to parents on proper oral hygiene, diet and habits.
Regular checkups every six months help prevent dental problems and ensure early intervention if any issues arise. Starting dental visits early also helps children become familiar with the dental environment, reducing fear or anxiety associated with dental care in the future.
Our Commitment To You
Dr. Mazin Nakhleh, Dr. Laura Fisher, Dr. Shohreh Sharifi and our team are committed to providing the highest quality of care for your child’s oral health. We understand the unique needs and anxieties of young patients, and our goal is to make every visit a positive experience so that you child can avoid feelings of stress and anxiety now and in the future, receive their treatments with ease, and develop a trusting relationship with our dentists and team.
We prioritize preventive care, offering dental cleanings, fluoride treatments and sealants to protect your child’s teeth from cavities. Our commitment extends beyond the dental chair as we work closely with parents to educate them on proper at-home oral care practices and nutrition to support their child’s dental health.
