Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric Dentistry is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on the unique dental and oral health needs of
infants, children, and teenagers. Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. Specialized training
for pediatric dentists involves an additional two years of rigorous education and training, usually combined in
a dental school and hospital setting. This experience also includes children with special healthcare needs.
Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?
Just as pediatricians are the physicians that provide medical care for children, pediatric dentists
specialize in providing dental services for children. One of the most important reasons to choose a pediatric
dentist is the special knowledge and training that helps make the entire dental experience positive and
therefore helps create a lifelong commitment to good oral health. Extensive research clearly demonstrates that
good oral health is essential to good overall physical health, positive self-esteem, and happiness and success
in life.

Pediatric Dentists, Preteens, and Teenagers
Preteens and teenagers have unique dental and oral health needs. Changes in diet with increasing consumption
of fast foods and snacks may result in increased dental caries (tooth decay). Imperfect oral hygiene increases
the incidence of gingivitis and periodontal issues in this age group which is further magnified by the
introduction of orthodontia. Appearance and self-image are very important issues to preteens and teenagers. With
offices designed to welcome this age group, pediatric dentists are uniquely qualified to serve preteens and
teenagers by training and understanding of these issues as well as our skills in preventive and interceptive
care.
