What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is dental care for your child, whether an infant, child, or teen. It focuses on prevention, early education, and treatments designed to fit your child’s ever-changing teeth and needs. Many parents choose a pediatric dentist for routine exams, cavities, toothaches, and dental injuries, or for help with habits that may negatively impact their child’s oral health.
Choosing the Right Visit
| Concern | Often a Good Fit |
|---|---|
| First dental visit for a baby or toddler | Infant oral exam |
| Frequent snacks or early cavity concerns | Fluoride treatment |
| Deep grooves on back teeth | Dental sealants |
| Baby tooth lost too early | Space maintainer |
| Toothache or visible damage | Pediatric restorative care |
| Nervous child during treatment | Nitrous oxide sedation |
Your Child’s Dental Visit
- Consultation:We start with greeting you and your child and helping them feel comfortable. At this time we answer your questions, review your child’s health history, and discuss any concerns you have noticed at home.
- Exam: Our friendly dentist gently checks teeth, gums, and bite, as well as x-rays if necessary.
- Explain Findings: The pediatric dentist will clearly explain the results of the examination and suggest a treatment plan that fits your child’s current developmental stage, dietary habits, and comfort level.
- Treatment: Any treatment provided to your child will be planned with your child’s comfort in mind. Both the child and the parent should know what to expect before, during and after the appointment.
- Follow-up: Follow-up will include recommendations for your child’s home oral hygiene practices, scheduling for the next dental appointment, and any additional advice you may need to continue to promote your child’s continued dental progress between appointments.
Planning for Cost
Cost will vary depending on the nature of your child’s visit, the specific treatment needed, and your dental coverage. Routine preventive care is generally covered by most dental insurance plans. Many plans also cover x-rays and other commonly required services. Prior to any treatment being initiated, your team should review your estimated costs and clearly explain how much of the cost will be covered by your insurance.
Care Built on Trust
- A kind team – Our caring team is committed to helping your child become comfortable in our office environment at his/her own pace. We also encourage you, as the parent/guardian, to ask any questions you may have about your child’s care without feeling hurried.
- Modern tools – We utilize modern equipment, including digital radiography/x-rays and intraoral cameras, to enhance the clarity of planning for your child’s dental care and efficiency of all of our appointments.
- Comfort – We carefully consider all available options to make sure that your child feels comfortable throughout the appointment if they feel anxious, restless, or sensitive.
