Pediatric Dentist

Pediatric Dentist in Rochester Hills, MI

One of the nine recognized dental specialties of the American Dental Association (ADA) is pediatric dentistry.  A pediatric dentist is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teen years, and maintains the experience and qualifications to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth through each stage of childhood.

During the first six months of life, children will begin to develop their baby teeth and by the age of 6 or 7 years, they will start to lose their first set of teeth.  Once a child loses their first set of teeth, they will eventually be replaced by secondary, permanent teeth.

Without proper dental care from a pediatric dentist, children face the possibility of developing oral decay and disease that can cause a lifetime of pain and complications.  Early childhood dental caries is 5 times more common in children today than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever.  A pediatric dentist has completed four years of dental school with an additional two years in residency training in dentistry for infants, children, tents, and children with special needs.

A pediatric dentist strives to provide your child with optimal dental health care so that he or she can maintain a healthy, glowing smile for a lifetime.  A pediatric dentist offers an array of treatment options, as well as expertise and training to properly care for your child.  Schedule an appointment with your pediatric dentist today to ensure your child’s smile is healthy for a lifetime.
