A pediatric dentist has at least 2 more years of training beyond dental school.

The training focuses on management and treatment of a child's developing teeth, child behavior, physical growth and development, and the special needs of children's dentistry.

Although either type of dentist can handle your child's oral health care needs, a pediatric dentist, their staff, and even the office décor are all geared to care for children and to put them at ease.

If your child has special needs, think about getting care from a pediatric dentist.

Ask your dentist or your child's doctor what they recommend
