Family Dentist Services Serving Center Line
If your child is having certain oral health or development issues, the pediatric dental specialists at Children's Dental Specialists are here to help. Our pediatric dentist specializes in treating only children and teens. A pediatric dentist must complete advanced training in children's dentistry during their residency, after dental school, where they become equipped to diagnose and treat a range of complex childhood oral heath problems. From toddlers to teenagers, Children's Dental Specialists can help your child keep a happy, healthy, and confident smile in all the different stages of their life.
Tooth Care Affects More Than Tooth Health
If your child has continual problems with cavities, bleeding gums, or other oral issues, it could affect how well they can eat and bring on malnutrition rather quickly. Dental problems can also lead to speech that isn't that easy to understand. By teaching your child how to care for his or her teeth, you and the pediatric dentist can head off a lot of potential problems in other areas of the child's life.
Our Family Dentist Specializes In These Services And More:
Digital Radiographs (X-rays)
Sealants
Extractions

Your Child's First Visit To Our Family Dentist Near Center Line
If you are the parent of an infant or toddler, the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend that the first dental visit be scheduled shortly after your child reaches 6 months of age, or when the first tooth appears. The first dental visit can be a bit anxiety-inducing for both children and parents, but no worries -- our staff is fully equipped and trained to keep your child happy and calm.
Soothing Care
Having a stranger poking around inside the mouth can make an infant or toddler understandably uncomfortable. Our pediatric specialists and assistants can help keep your child calm during this procedure, and they can also explain to you what's happening should you be nervous as well!
Everyone in our office is patient and has a gentle attitude that kids pick up on. Our staff can also accommodate special needs patients and provide excellent care. As your child gets older, our dentists can, and will, provide more education on how to take really good care of teeth.
