Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of children, from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric dentists, also known as pediodontists, are trained to handle the unique dental needs of young patients, including those with special healthcare needs. The goal of pediatric dentistry is not only to provide high-quality care but also to foster a positive and comfortable dental experience for children to promote lifelong oral health.

What Does a Pediatric Dentist Do?

Pediatric dentists fulfill many important functions pertaining to the child’s overall oral health and hygiene.  They place particular emphasis on the proper maintenance and care of deciduous (baby) teeth, which are instrumental in facilitating good chewing habits, proper speech production, and also hold space for permanent teeth.

Pediatric dentistry plays a critical role in the overall health and development of children’s oral health. By focusing on preventive care, early diagnosis, and age-appropriate treatments, pediatric dentistry will help ensure that children develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. With the care at Cedar House Family Dentistry, children can avoid many of the common dental problems that can arise during their formative years, setting them up for a future of good oral health.
