Pediatric Dentistry Brampton

One might often question why a child should be seen by a pediatric dentist rather then a simple visit to your family dentist. Although taking your child to the family dentist is an option, there are many advantages to having your child pediatric dentist when compared to a general dentist.

Often, a general dentist will recommend to provide dental care to a child after they have turned three years old while a pediatric dentist will want to see your child as early as six months old or after the first tooth erupts.  A pediatric dentist is thoroughly trained to understand the development and growth of a child, which aids him in helping a child to overcome their anxiety, fear, or nervousness during their dental visit.

Education plays a major role when it comes to pediatric dentistry vs a general family dentist. A Pediatric dentist will have up to 3 years of training that specializes in the growth and development of infants as well as children with special needs. This level of education allows a pediatric dentist to carefully oversee your child’s oral health and provide the best dental care for their specific needs.

A pediatric dental office will have a warm and inviting environment allowing children to feel comfortable and welcomed. The dental clinics are adorned with toys and games, which keeps children entertained while waiting for their visit.
