Why choose a Pediatric Dentist?

All dentists are doctors of oral health. The difference between a pediatric dentist and general dentist are explained by their education, years of training and type of training related to child development. A pediatric dentist has two to three years of specialty training following dental school and limits his/her practice to treating children only.

  • Nurturing temperament: Pediatric dentists choose to work with children. They enjoy it! Working with children every day, all day, allows them to keenly understand how to make kids feel comfortable and how to explain procedures and oral care in a way that they can understand.
  • Staff are trained specifically on management techniques geared toward infants, children, and teenagers
  • Pediatric hospital affiliations: Pediatric dentists are more likely to be affiliated with pediatricians, children’s hospitals, and other specialists who can work as a team in managing yourchild’s overall health, should the need arise.
  • Specialized pediatric equipment: Smaller equipment is needed for children due to the size of their mouths and the fragile nature of their primary teeth.
  • Training for special needs children: Pediatric dentists are trained to treat children who are disabled, chronically ill, or mentally challenged. Some conditions require specialized dental care which a pediatric dentist is experienced at giving. Because of this experience, they can also be helpful in treating adults with mental or physical disabilities.
  • Exceptional knowledge of childhood dental developmental stages: They have extensive knowledge on how children’s teeth and jaws should develop. They can provide comprehensive, definitive treatment on all aspects of childhood dental disease, as well as recognize orthodontic concerns. They are highly familiar with the rapid growth and developmental changes associated with adolescent oral care, that is dental care for teenagers.
  • Kid-friendly environment: Pediatric dental offices are specially designed with children in mind, from the furniture décor to the flavors of toothpaste offered. When children experience a pleasant, comfortable, child-centered environment during a dental visit, trust is established and confidence is promoted. Oftentimes, they even look forward to visiting the dentist! Take a virtual tour of Frisco Kid’s Dentistry!
