Pediatric Dentistry in Ayer, MA
When should my child see a Pediatric Dentist?
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.
What kind of education does a pediatric dentist have?
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.
