The importance of Pediatric dentistry is not just performing dental procedures on children. It’s more than offering them a small toy or sticker at the end of the dental visit. It’s actually a kid’s friendly approach that helps in making kids comfortable and heads them up for lifelong dental health. At Healthy Smiles of Georgia, we offer reliable kid’s dentistry services.

Our team of kid’s dentists comprises board-certified doctors who have several years of experience in this field. We are committed to offering services starting from regular dental cleanings, fluoride treatment, dental fillings and many more that sets up kids for success.

When should be a child’s first dental visit?
As per the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and many recommendations by experts, a child’s first dental visit should be before the child’s first birthday. Initial visits of the child to the dentist help in the early detection of any dental problems like tooth decay. It also helps in determining fluoride needs and monitoring proper oral and facial development. If your child is introduced to the dentist at an early stage, it becomes easy and comfortable for the child to face any future dental treatment. We aim to encourage parents that visiting a dentist is a positive experience for the child. We also pleasingly explain different dental procedures.

What do you mean by pediatric dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is generally viewed as oral care for kids. At Healthy Smiles of Georgia, we determine it as a motivating experience that offers your kids everything in maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile for life. Our aim is not just to treat kids but to explain what we are performing and what they need to do to keep their teeth in a great condition and feel the best about their smile. We listen to the concerns of the kids and work according to their specific needs.

Who is a pediatric dentist?
A pediatric dentist is a doctor who finishes a four-year dental schooling and an additional two to three years of rigorous training to prevent, detect early and treatment of dental diseases. Our team of dentists for pediatric care work specifically with children, offering them the focus and experience required to relate to the kids and treat them as per their age and personality.

Any general dentist can opt for the pediatric field by getting additional years of training in dealing with children and offering the right level of care that a specialist must offer. One who is a specialist in this field has the exact knowledge of treating children and may be able to detect early any issues which a general dentist might miss.
