Why Choose a Memphis Pediatric Dentist for Your Child?
Dental visits can be scary, especially for kids. That's why choosing a pediatric dentist is so important!
Unlike general dentists, pediatric dentists like Dr. Rowland, Dr. Selecman, Dr. Daniel, and Dr. Greene have specialized training to make children feel calm and comfortable. They know how to handle kids' emotions and developmental needs, making early dental experiences positive. Children's Dental Center in Memphis is here to deliver that.
What Makes a Pediatric Dentist Different?
To become a pediatric dentist, our doctors complete an extra two or more years of intense training after dental school. This extensive education focuses solely on treating infants, children, teens, and those with special needs. They learn to address unique dental issues, create positive experiences, and teach kids about good oral hygiene.
What Our Memphis Pediatric Dentists Offer
At Children’s Dental Center, we've designed our practice just for kids.
Our office features open rooms with multiple dental chairs. This helps children feel less alone, as seeing other kids being treated can ease their own anxieties. It also encourages socializing in our modern, state-of-the-art office.
Our dentists and staff have years of experience providing top-level care to all ages. We use kid-friendly language, like asking to "count and brush" teeth instead of "clean." We play games, sing songs, or let kids explore the treatment area to help them feel at home. Our goal is to make every appointment interactive and fun!
We Help Take the Worry Out of Dental Visits
We understand dental visits can be scary for children. That's why we actively work to minimize their fears. Our team uses the "tell, show, do" method to help kids understand each step. For example, we say:
- "Put your tooth to sleep" for numbing.
- "Put vitamins on your teeth" for fluoride.
- "Take pictures of your teeth" for X-rays.
Parents, your calm attitude helps! If you're nervous about dental care, try not to show it, as kids pick up on your fears. Our dentists can offer tips to help. When you trust us to explain things, it builds your child's confidence, leading to a much better experience for everyone.
