Report
A. A pediatric dentist specializes in the oral health care needs of children from infancy through the teenage years. The education of a pediatric dentist involves two to three years of advanced training after four years of dental school. The pediatric specialist has additional training in behavior guidance and techniques such as sedation that can be used to comfort an anxious child patient.
Dental Emergencies
Report
A toothache can occur from: a deep cavity, an oral ulcer, dental trauma, a gum problem, a loose baby tooth or from something stuck between the teeth. Be sure to keep the area clean. Bleeding should be controlled by holding a clean gauze or wash cloth over the area for at least five full minutes. If bleeding does not stop, please call our office or an emergency room.
Treatments
Report
The laser is a device that is changing dentistry. Fillings can be completed without the use of dental injections. Children who fear needles can receive treatment without a "shot." This technique almost totally eliminates the possibility that patients will bite their lips after traditional treatment with local anesthesia.
