What is a Pediatric Dentist?
It’s important to find a pediatric dentist for your children. Here at Glenlake Dental our pediatric dentists are trained specifically to treat the unique needs of children and teens. They can help with everything from routine checkups and cleanings to treating tooth decay and cavities. And they can also provide guidance on how best to care for your child’s teeth as they grow up.
Pediatric dentists are specially trained in pediatric dental issues. They receive the same training as a general dentist. After earning a four-year bachelor’s degree, pediatric dentists attend a four-year dental school, followed by a two-year residency in pediatric dental practice. And like general practitioners, they are board-certified.
What Ages can visit a Pediatric Dentist?
Glenlake Dental recommends you to bring your children in as early as their second birthday and we will make sure they have a great experience while learning how to take care of their teeth. We provide services for patients up to the age of 18. We offer attentive care for kids who are anxious about visiting the dentist or those who need more extensive dental work done. Our staff is friendly and caring, making sure that every patient feels comfortable during their appointment with us.
Our pediatric dentists know that your child deserves nothing but the best when it comes to their dental health, which is why we take our time with each patient and make sure they are comfortable throughout their entire appointment. When you bring your child into Glenlake Dental, we will take special care of them while ensuring that they have a positive experience every step of the way!
What are Some Benefits?
Glenlake Dental Care understands how difficult it can be to get your child to visit the dentist. That’s why we take extra care in making sure our office is warm and inviting, with plenty of toys for kids to play with while they wait. Our staff is trained in pediatric dentistry so they know exactly what children need from their dental visits. And we make sure every patient has an individualized treatment plan designed around them and their needs, not just based on age or gender.
Some benefits to going to a pediatric dentist as compared to a general dentist is that they provide:
● Clamer, happier kids
● Specialized training
● Increase awareness of common childhood habits
● Increase understanding of oral health issues that are common in children
● A better understanding of children’s growth and changes
● Providing a warm and welcoming environment
● Making oral care fun!
Choosing the Right Pediatric Dentist for You
When it comes to your child’s oral health, you want the best. You want someone who is kind and gentle, but also knowledgeable and experienced. You need a dental professional that can help your little one feel comfortable in their own skin while they get the treatment they need. Glenlake Dental provides just that!
Our team of pediatric dentists has years of experience working with children of all ages, so we know how to make them feel safe and secure during every visit. And because we understand how important it is for parents to be involved in their child’s healthcare decisions, we always encourage families to participate as much as possible throughout each visit. That way everyone feels like an active participant in maintaining good oral hygiene at home too!
Some important factors that are recommended to take note of when trying to find the best pediatric dentist for you is:
● Clinic environment: a good clinic needs to have a well-suited office for both children and teens.
● Tactics for dealing with difficult children: make sure your clinic deals with misbehaving children as calmly and efficiently as possible.
● Medical tool size: make sure that your clinic has small medical tools that can fit in smaller mouths.
