Pediatric Dentistry is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of young people. After completing a four-year dental school curriculum, two additional years of rigorous training are required to become a pediatric dentist. This specialized program of study and hands-on experience prepares a pediatric dentist to meet the needs of infants, and children.
During their extended training, pediatric dentists study the specific growth and development cycles of children as well as learn child psychology to manage the behavioral aspects of children. They have an understanding of how to make young children feel safe in what can be an intimidating and scary environment.
Unlike a regular dental office, a pediatric dentist’s office is designed with kids in mind. We have created a “KID” friendly office, from our “open bay” operatory with dental chairs designed especially for children, to TV’s mounted on the ceiling.
