We at Dental Care Kids believe strongly that children are very precious. Our experienced staff of pediatric dentists, orthodontists and hygienists chose to make a career in pediatric dentistry out of a love for children and the desire to see their beautiful smiles every day. Our office environment and practices are designed to make a trip to the dentist as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. A child with a positive impression of visits to the dental office is much more likely to receive the care he or she needs to maintain good dental health. At Dental Care Kids, we are building the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth. In addition to our highly skilled staff of Pediatric specialists and our kid-friendly environment, Dental Care Kids employs the latest technology to provide the highest possible standard of care. Low-Dose Digital X-rays are much safer for your child than traditional X-rays, emitting up to 75% less radiation. There's no sacrifice in effectiveness, in fact the digital X-rays have the advantage of brightness and contrast manipulation, allowing our dentists to see your child's teeth down to the finest detail. Every parent hopes that their child will go through life without having many of the problems that they suffered with. That certainly includes cavities and unpleasant associations with the dentist.

Why should I bring my child to a Pediatric Dentist?
A pediatric medical doctor is
specially trained to care for your child's medical needs. In the
same way, a pediatric dentist is specially trained for your
child's dental needs. The pediatric dentist is a specialist who
has received additional training, for two or more years, in the
oral health care of children from infancy through adulthood. All
children are different, and the pediatric dentist has been
trained in dealing with all types of child behavior. In addition
they are highly qualified in various approaches of guiding
dental growth and development, to avoid future problems and also
experts in the treatment of special patients who may have
emotional, physical, or mental handicaps. Because of this
additional specialized training, many parents choose a pediatric
dentist to treat their children. Why is it important for dental visits to be fun for children?
Pleasant visits with the pediatric
dentist help a child establish trust and confidence that will
last a lifetime. No one should be afraid of his or her dentist.
If a child fears their dentist, then they may avoid seeking
dental care as an adult. Pediatric dentists along with their
staffs have been specially trained to help apprehensive children
get over their fears and become happy, willing patients. Also,
as a pediatric dentist we will talk to you and your child with
easily understood terms, pictures, and ideas, so that your child
will be motivated to take proper care of his or her mouth. How often should my child come for dental check ups? To maintain optimal dental health, your child should be seen every six months unless otherwise instructed by his or her pediatric dentist. Regular check-ups help your child stay cavity-free by emphasizing preventive measure and catching problems while they are still small and easily taken care of. Regular cleanings removes plaque that build up on the teeth, cause gum infections and decay. Professional fluoride treatments strengthen the teeth and prevent decay. Oral hygiene instruction reinforces proper brushing and flossing techniques, thus leading to a healthier mouth and the prevention of dental decay. Your pediatric dentist will also provide an assessment of changes in the oral cavity and may suggest additional fluoride needs, sealants, or changes in dietary content. Please take some time to browse around the Dental Care Kids web page, especially the information on how to prevent dental problems and call to schedule your visit soon.
