Pediatric Dentistry
Choosing a dentist for your family isn’t a light decision, and you have more options than you might realize. Some parents opt for a “family dentist,” who can see all the members of your family at once. A family dentist makes sense for some families, but there are several situations where a pediatric dentist would be a much better choice. If you don’t know the difference between a pediatric dentist and a family dentist, you’re in good company. Exploring your options and learning the difference will help you make the best decision for your family.
Why See a Pediatric Dentist?
Dentists, like doctors, can specialize in different fields. Some focus on root canals, others stick solely to care of the gums, and a select few choose to work with children. Pediatric dentists concentrate exclusively on the care of teeth in babies, kids and teens.
As a parent, you know that kids are not just miniature adults. They have thoughts and feelings that aren’t always predictable, and it can take a special kind of know-how to engage with them. Not every licensed dentist has the patience to work with kids, and many kids certainly don’t have the patience to work with the average dentist.
Pediatric dentists intentionally put in the work to become experts in children’s needs. A pediatric dentist is equal parts educator and practitioner, so they have extra training beyond dental school to solidify their expertise in the emotional and developmental needs of children.
They also understand the complexities of how teeth grow and develop and can keep an eye out for potential problems. Lastly, pediatric practitioners have experience dealing with frightened children and can help your child feel at ease and comfortable at the dentist
