A pediatric dentist is a dentist who completed an additional 2 years of education specifically pertaining to the treatment of pediatric patients, as well as those with special health care needs. Upon completion of residency, pediatric dentists are well equipped to manage all aspects of pediatric dental care, including behavior management, complex medical needs, as well as sedation management of pediatric patients.
At Childrens Dentistry, we provide care for your child in a calm, supportive, and kid friendly environment. As pediatric dentists, we provide care for infants, adolescents, and teenagers, as well as adults with special healthcare needs, focusing on prevention to help your child develop a healthy smile. We understand that your child has his or her own specific needs, and strive to provide quality care, taking the time needed for your child to feel comfortable and ensure they have a positive dental experience. Although we pride ourselves on a short wait time for our patients, we have a play area with a large wooden ship and ocean themed dcor, as well a well-stocked selection of childrens books and magazines.
