Pediatric Dentistry in Los Angeles

Why a Pediatric Dentist for Your Child?

There are numerous general dentists in the Los Angeles area, and the vast majority of them do excellent work on their patients. But when it comes to children, they require a little extra tender loving care (TLC) from a pediatric dentist when it comes to their dental health.

A pediatric dentist must undergo specialized training and education that makes them more competent to work with children than a dental professional in general practice. For example, a child’s first visit to the dentist’s office can be a traumatic experience if not handled right, and there are many other special needs that a child requires that a pediatric dentist can provide.

A few of the areas of special training offered by a pediatric dentist are:

2-3 extra years of training above and beyond dental school
Childhood development and psychology
Knowledge of the unique physiology of a child’s jaw and teeth
A deep understanding of the unique needs of infants and children with disabilities

Your child deserves the best dental care possible, and a pediatric dentist is the best dental option for your child. Below are some essential facts about pediatric dentists’ service and some care options available.

Services that Pediatric Dentists Offer in Los Angeles

There are many services that a pediatric dentist can offer you and your children that a family dentist is not equipped to provide or can’t offer for lack of specialized training. Following are some of the services and procedures your pediatric dentist can perform.

Baby Teeth Fillings: Children can get cavities in their primary teeth, and it is crucial to treat them, so bacteria don’t spread to healthy teeth and cause additional difficulties.
Baby Teeth Extractions: Sometimes, a child needs to have a tooth extracted due to severe cavities or injury, and your pediatric dentist is equipped to perform the procedure safely and comfortably.
Managing Dental Pain: Children cannot be treated the same as adults when experiencing dental pain. Children’s dentists are specially trained to administer medications suitable for children and apply other pain reduction methods.
Wisdom Teeth Removal: The removal of wisdom teeth is widespread in the late teen years, and your pediatric dentist is well trained to handle the extraction.
