Pediatric dentistry is an age-defined specialty that treats children from infancy through adolescence. However, pediatric dentistry goes beyond its definition. Pediatric dentists wear several hats, and sometimes, it isn’t limited to check-ups and cleanings.
It sometimes involves keeping a young child calm in the dental chair. Other times it’s educating caregivers on how nutrition and poor oral habits like mouth breathing and thumb sucking affect the child’s oral health.
Pediatric dentistry treats patients of all ages, from age 1 to 19. It also includes caring for children with special health care needs. Our office offers adult dentistry so pediatric patients can continue receiving dental care in a familiar environment.
We offer services that ensure your young ones enjoy comprehensive care in one location. Here are the pediatric services available in our office.
Children aren’t just smaller adults. The adult’s worldview has been shaped through past experiences, tolerance level, ability to conceptualize new ideas, etc. Kids are a blank slate and often communicate more with body language than words. We understand this! We curate our pediatric dental services, tailoring your child’s dental needs as they grow up.
Ensure your child’s smile stays bright and healthy! Schedule a pediatric dental appointment with Stoneycreek Village Dental to provide your little one with expert care in a friendly environment. Our comprehensive services meet the unique needs of children, setting the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Call (780) 666-7327 and book now your visit today!
