Pediatric Dentistry: Early dental care helps fight dental disease
Pediatric Dentistry is a specialty that provides both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for children through adolescence.
Pediatric Dentistry is dedicated to the oral health of children through the teen years. We have the experience and qualifications to care for your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of their childhood.
Children begin to get their baby teeth during the first 6 months of life. By age 6 or 7 years, they start to lose their first set of teeth, which eventually are replaced by secondary, permanent teeth. Without proper dental care, children face possible oral decay and disease that can cause a lifetime of pain and complications.
Today, early childhood dental caries, an infectious disease, is 5 times more common in children than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever. We recommend a first dental check up at about 3 years of age.
Children deserve a wonderful dental experience. We encourage parents to bring their children in for a visit any time after the age of three. Visiting the dentist from a young age will help your child become more comfortable. Your child will love it here!
