For the same reasons you take your child to the pediatrician, children benefit from seeing a dentist who specializes in the needs specific to children and their teeth.
Pediatric dentists complete two extra years of intensive training after they complete dental school. This training focuses on oral health from infancy through the young adult years. Through this specialized training program, pediatric dentists receive rigorous instruction and clinical experience in management of trauma to baby teeth and young permanent teeth, specialized behavior management, sedation, general anesthesia, space maintenance, infant oral health, dental care for the special needs patient, preventative dentistry and restorative dentistry for children.
Looking for a good dentist in Gahanna for my 11 and 14 year old sons. I take them all the way to Worthington for their dentistry needs and looking for something in town. Recommendations are much appreciated.
