Pediatric Dentistry Q & A
What is pediatric dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is focused on providing dental care for children, ranging from infants to teenagers. This specialized field includes teaching children proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as addressing common oral health issues such as cavities.
Why is dental care important during childhood?
Children have unique oral health needs that differ from adults. Baby teeth play a crucial role in chewing, speech development, and holding space for permanent teeth. Early dental care helps prevent cavities and ensures proper oral development.
What services are included in pediatric dentistry?
Our pediatric dental services include routine cleanings, early orthodontic evaluations, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, stainless steel crowns, space maintainers, and sports guards. These treatments are designed to protect children’s teeth and promote healthy smiles.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
We recommend bringing your child for their first dental visit as soon as their first tooth emerges or by their first birthday. Regular check-ups every six months help monitor oral health and address any concerns early on. For children needing orthodontic treatment, more frequent visits may be necessary.
Our team understands the importance of ensuring a positive dental experience for children. We offer nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) to help relax anxious patients, including those with special needs.
At Kalemi Dental P.C., we are committed to providing exceptional dental care for children of all ages. Schedule an appointment today to give your child the gift of a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.
