What Is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and teenagers. From baby teeth to permanent teeth, kids have unique dental needs at every stage of development. Pediatric dentists are specially trained to provide preventative care, monitor growth, and address concerns like cavities, thumb sucking, or early orthodontic needs.
At Lund Family Dentistry, we love working with kids! Our goal is to create a comfortable, educational experience that encourages good oral habits from the very start.
Why Is Preventative Care Important for Kids?
Preventative care is key to keeping your child’s teeth healthy and strong. Early dental visits not only prevent cavities and gum disease, but they also help kids feel confident and calm in the dental chair. Regular cleanings, exams, and education can catch issues early—when they're easiest to treat—and teach lifelong habits that support whole-body health.
Benefits of pediatric preventative care include:
- Early detection of cavities and developmental concerns
- Monitoring jaw and tooth alignment
- Teaching proper brushing and flossing techniques
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
- Sealants to protect cavity-prone molars
- Building trust in the dentist to avoid future dental anxiety
