What is Pediatric Dentistry?
The best dental care is preventative care. Seeing a pediatric dentist while your child is young helps instill good oral hygiene habits in your child and detects oral health issues early before they become more complex. Our pediatric dentists recommend children see the dentist after their first tooth comes in. While it might be surprising, teeth are susceptible to cavities and decay at any age. Starting your child's dental care while they are young helps make sure there aren't any surprises with their oral health later on down the road.

Why is Seeing a Pediatric Dentist Important?
