Pediatric Dentists are dentists who have had at least 2 years of additional training after becoming a general dentist. Although some general dentists are comfortable and able to provide care for children, pediatric dentists are specifically trained to use a variety of behavior management and pharmacological techniques to provide quality dental care to children. It may help to think of a General Dentist to be similar to a Family Physician and Pediatric Dentist being similar to a Pediatrician. Pediatric Dentists are specialists trained to address the specific needs of children, teenagers, and the medically compromised.
We have taken every measure to provide an environment where children and parents feel comfortable and safe. I welcome you to ake a virutal tour of our office or visit us in person.
