Simple, we are kid experts! While family dentists practice general dentistry for people of all ages, a pediatric dentist spends all day every day only treating patients generally 18 years old or younger. Pediatric dentists undergo two extra years of specialized residency training after becoming a dentist. Their training includes advanced techniques and procedures to help even the most apprehensive child become comfortable.
They also take courses in sedation, growth, development, orthodontics, childhood diseases, child psychology and children with special needs. This allows them to understand the specific needs of younger patients as they grow into adults. Read about the specialized training details from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Once your child has teeth it's time to start cleaning and caring for them.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children are seen by age one or when their first teeth start coming in. Routine dental check-ups at least twice a year are recommended.
