What is Pediatric Dentistry?

The Pediatric Dentists of David & Associates are dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teen years. They have the experience and qualifications to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood. Children begin to get their baby teeth during the first 6 months of life. By age 6 or 7 years, they start to lose their first set of teeth, which eventually are replaced by secondary, permanent teeth.

Without proper dental care, children face possible oral decay and disease that can cause a lifetime of pain and complications. Today, early childhood dental caries, an infectious disease, is 5 times more common in children than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever.

The Pediatric Dentists of David & Associates know how to examine and treat children in ways that make them comfortable. In addition, pediatric dentists use specially designed equipment that are arranged and decorated with children in mind. They offer a wide range of dentistry treatment options, as well as expertise and training to care for your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth.
