What Is a Pediatric Dentist?

A pediatric dentist is a dental specialist who has received additional training and certification to treat infants, children, and children with special needs. Their extensive training provides them with the knowledge to treat children's specific dental and orthodontic needs.

Pediatric dentists can help children have a positive experience during their check-ups and learn how to take care of their teeth for years to come. Children’s dentists focus on the prevention and treatment of dental disease and the overall health of the children they treat.

 

Why Should You Choose a Midtown Memphis Children’s Dentist?

No matter a person’s age, a dental appointment can be a little scary, but this can be especially true for children who don’t know what to expect. You may also be worried or anxious about some aspect of your child’s visit.

Pediatric dentists can also take much of the anxiety out of dental visits for parents and children who may be worried or overwhelmed.

Because children’s dentists have extensive experience treating children, they also tend to be better at handling the emotional and developmental issues that affect how children respond to dental treatment. They can also help with any worries you may have.

Their educational training and skills help children feel more comfortable during their dental visits. If children have positive experiences at the dentist when they’re young, they’re more likely to keep their teeth healthy and visit the dentist in Midtown Memphis throughout their entire life.
