Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric dentists can perform oral health exams for infants, which involve checking for tooth eruption, assessing oral development, and providing guidance on infant oral care.

Pediatric dentists emphasize preventive care to promote good oral health in children. This includes regular dental check-ups, teeth cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants.

If a child has a cavity, pediatric dentists can provide dental fillings to restore the affected tooth. They use materials that are safe and suitable for children.

Pediatric dentists can assess the need for orthodontic treatment and refer patients to orthodontists if necessary. Early orthodontic evaluations help identify and address developing bite and teeth alignment issues.

Pediatric dentists are equipped to handle dental emergencies and provide prompt care for issues such as toothaches, broken teeth, or dental trauma.

Pediatric dentists have expertise in providing dental care to children with special needs, offering tailored treatment plans and accommodations to meet their unique needs.
