Pediatric Dentists are the "Pediatricians" of Dentistry.
They received an additional 2-3 years of training beyond traditional dental school to understand your child's oral health needs to the highest possible standard.
Infants, children, adolescents and individual with special health care needs all require different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems.
As a specialist, a Pediatric Dentist is best qualified to meet these needs.

Dr. Bekka; the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP); recommend that your child visit the dentist six months after the eruption of the first tooth or by age ONE.
You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive.
If your child is old enough they can be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions.
The less to-do concerning the visit, the better.
It is best if you refrain from using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear such as "needle", "shot", "pull", "drill" or "hurt" even if trying to explain that these things will NOT happen.
