Why Take Your Child to a Pediatric Dentist vs a General Dentist?

By Pediatric Dental Associates January 21, 2022

Yes, it IS possible for your child to LOVE going to the dentist!  The first step is to choose a practice where your child will be comfortable, as early dental experiences will set the tone for a lifetime of optimal oral health.  

While Pediatric Dentists do love kids, that’s not what makes them qualified to be a Pediatric Dentist.  It’s the additional two years of specialized education and training in pediatric care focusing on the unique dental needs of children that earns them this title. Through their additional training they become proficient in sedation, behavior management, pediatric dental trauma and recognizing orthodontic complications in young mouths as they develop.   

Going to the dentist can be fun at the right practice. At Pediatric Dental Associates of Randolph, expert care and a kid-friendly environment catered to the comfort of children is the backdrop for a great dental experience.  The Pediatric Dentists and Hygienists at Pediatric Dental Associates of Randolph believe that educating and empowering kids to be active and interested in their oral health is vitally important.  They accomplish this by creating positive experiences at every visit, beginning from the moment you enter the office greeted by a gigantic tropical fish tank and smiling faces!  Their commitment to patients does not end after your appointment, in between visits the office is always available to answer questions and is reachable 24/7 in the event of emergencies.
