PEDIATRIC DENTIST Q&A

A pediatric dentist undergoes an additional two to three years of specialized studies after dental school. Babies, children, and teenagers have jaws and teeth that are still growing.

A pediatric dentist tracks your child’s development at every stage to ensure that teeth are developing normally, coming in straight, and are free from infections and decay.

The pediatric dentists at Diamond District Dental are inspired by the practice’s founder, Dr. Oleg Klempner, who believes in using humor and kindness to make children and adults feel comfortable about their dental procedures.  

A pediatric dentist performs many of the same procedures on children as on adults, such as:

  • Regular exams, cleanings, and X-rays
  • Cavity treatment and fillings
  • Gum disease treatment
  • Tooth replacement with implants, bridges, and dentures

The pediatric dentist offers specialized treatments for growing teeth, such as:

  • Fluoride treatments for strength
  • Orthodontics to make sure your child’s teeth are straight and aligned
  • Sealants that protect your child’s teeth from cavities
  • Mouthguards for sports and recreational activities

In cases of disease a pediatric dentist can also provide your child cosmetic dental treatments, such as teeth whitening and dental veneers.

The pediatric dentist at Diamond District Dental recommends that your child’s mouth gets examined before he or she turns one year old or when the first tooth appears. The sooner you begin bringing your child to the dentist, the more likely it is that she’ll feel positive about dental visits.

Most healthy children should see a dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. Your child may need to see the dentist more frequently if he or she has dental issues or needs orthodontics or other special treatments.

A pediatric dentist ensures that your child’s teeth stay healthy, strong, and straight. Healthy teeth promote proper chewing and proper digestion. Well-aligned teeth minimize the risks for speech impediments.

Your pediatric dentist also helps teach your children and teens how to thoroughly brush and floss so they can maintain their good oral health throughout their lives.

You can take care of all of your family’s dental healthcare needs at Diamond District Dental. Book an appointment online or call the helpful staff.
