Why Us vs. a Family Dentist?
Our team of pediatric dentists has an additional two or three years of specialized training beyond the general dental degree they receive after completing dental school. Just like pediatricians, they offer you training and professional experience that is focused on the unique needs of children. Pediatric dentists are primary and specialty oral care providers for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health needs.
Good oral health begins with good oral care during infancy. We recommend that children have their first dental visit before their first birthday, which is also the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Dental Association.
We are happy to invite parents to the treatment area with their child.
