Children have unique oral health needs that require specialized care. Especially when their jaws are still growing, their teeth and bite alignment can change rapidly. Their teeth are also more susceptible to cavities than adult teeth are. Additionally, children are less cooperative than adults when receiving dental treatments.
Pediatric dentists are specialists who focus on treating children’s oral health needs. They receive two to three years of specialized training after dental school. That training makes them uniquely qualified to treat the oral healthcare needs of infants, toddlers, adolescents, and teenagers. At ToothDocs, our kid-friendly pediatric dentistry services play a vital role in shaping positive dental experiences for children, fostering healthy oral habits, and preventing dental anxieties.
Your child’s first dental visit should be scheduled around their first birthday or six months after their first tooth appears. During their visit, our pediatric dentist in Roslyn, NY, will thoroughly examine their oral health and check for cavities and other oral problems such as decay, gum disease, and development or alignment issues. The dentist may also take X-rays to examine the child’s teeth and jaws in detail.
After the exam, our pediatric dentist will create a treatment plan tailored to your child’s needs. This may include cleanings, fillings, or other procedures. They’ll also teach you and your child about proper oral hygiene habits.
