Why You Should Choose A Pediatric Dentist For Your Child
While some family dentists offer services for all ages, only pediatric dentists are specially qualified to handle the unique needs of the growing smiles of children, teens, and adolescents. Pediatric dentists complete an additional specialty certification or residency requirement that focuses on growth and development of the mouth throughout the stages of childhood, as well as training on how to ensure that children and patients with special needs have a comfortable experience at their appointments.
