Pediatric dentistry, also known as pediatric or children's dentistry, is a specialized branch of Impressions dental dentistry that focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and adolescents. We have additional training and expertise in managing the unique dental needs of young patients, including those with special healthcare needs.
Our Pediatric dentists emphasize preventive dental care to promote good oral health habits from a young age. This includes regular dental check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect teeth from cavities.
Our Pediatric dentists often recommend bringing children for their first dental visit around the age of one or within six months of the eruption of their first tooth. This early introduction helps familiarize children with dental visits and allows the dentist to monitor their oral development and detect any potential issues early on.
We provide education and guidance to both children and parents regarding proper oral hygiene practices, nutrition, and habits that can affect dental health, such as thumb-sucking or pacifier use.
Our Pediatric dentists are trained to diagnose and treat dental issues specific to children, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and malocclusion (misalignment of teeth or jaw). They may offer services such as fillings, extractions, dental crowns, space maintainers, and orthodontic evaluations.
We understand that children may experience dental anxiety and employ techniques to help them feel comfortable and relaxed during treatment. They use child-friendly language, behavior management techniques, and sometimes provide nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedation if necessary.
Our Pediatric dentists have expertise in managing the dental needs of children with special healthcare needs, such as those with developmental disabilities or medical conditions. They work closely with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care.
Our Pediatric dentists are equipped to handle dental emergencies, such as toothaches, broken teeth, or dental trauma.
