WHY CHOOSE A PEDIATRIC DENTIST? GARLAND
Dental Care That Keeps Kids’ Needs in Mind
Your child’s healthiness and happiness should sit atop your list of priorities, and believe it or not, helping them maintain their dental hygiene can contribute to both of these things. However, young smiles differ from ours and need particularly detailed yet gentle care that emphasizes their current wellness as well as their future health. Dr. Ben Baghai and our team here at Garland Pediatric Dentistry can deliver just that and more, all within a comfortable office outfitted with advanced, kid-friendly technology.
How is a Pediatric Dentist Different from a General Dentist?
To put it simply, a pediatric dentist specializes in treating children from infancy through adolescence, focusing on kids’ unique dental needs – which differ greatly from adults. Pediatric dentists also focus on creating kid-friendly environments and they often employ techniques that make visits much less intimidating for youngsters. In contrast, a general dentist can provide dental care for patients of all ages, including kids, but they might lack the specialized knowledge and approach geared toward children’s growth, behavior, and comfort.
What are the Benefits of Taking My Child to a Pediatric Dentist?
Your child’s smile is an essential part of their wellness, meaning that you should want it to receive the precise compassionate care it needs to flourish. This is why they must begin receiving dental care early on in life – and Dr. Ben and his team are more than ready to help. By trusting us, you can ensure that your child receives comfortable, gentle care that is precisely tailored to their smile’s specific needs. Dr. Ben will also ensure that you’re well-informed and adequately equipped to care for their smile at home. It’s also worth noting that children are quite impressionable, and it might be difficult to make them feel excited about visiting the dentist. Pediatric dentists know this and do everything in their power to make the whole dental experience as pleasant as possible for children!
What Ages Do Pediatric Dentists Treat?
Thanks to the specialized and extensive training and education they receive, pediatric dentists are adept at addressing the dental needs of all children, from infancy through adolescence. Though you might have reservations about bringing your infant in for dental care, even if they don’t have teeth, know that it’s incredibly important for ensuring excellent oral health. Likewise, toddlers, young children, and teens can all still benefit from visiting a pediatric dentist as their teeth continue to develop.
Dentistry for Infants
Believe it or not, the need for dental care begins very early in life – even before the arrival of the teeth! As a father himself, Dr. Ben knows that setting your little one up for a successful future smile is the crux to keeping them happy and healthy. He can ensure your infant’s teeth come in without issues and are looked after for the foreseeable future.
