What Is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry is one of the nine recognized dental specialties of the American Dental Association. After earning a dental degree from a four-year dental school, a pediatric dentist completes an additional two-to-three years of hands-on training in pediatric dentistry. During this time, he/she learns the best approach to treat children of all ages (from infancy to teenagers). Only pediatric dentists can call themselves specialists in pediatric dentistry!
In addition to the training required to call himself a pediatric dentist, Dr. Lucas is also board certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. This certification represents the highest possible credentials within the pediatric dental field. Less than 39% of all pediatric dentists attain this level of knowledge and expertise. Board certified pediatric dentists truly represent the best of the best!
A Child's First Dental Visit
A child's first dental visit should be scheduled around his/her 1st birthday. The AAPD and AAP recommend the first dental visit at age 1. This is a newer, more medically based model focused on prevention rather than waiting for "holes" to appear in the mouth and fix them. It is similar to a well-baby check-up at the pediatrician's office. A majority of children in America have already had a cavity by the time they reach kindergarten. If the parents, child, and dental staff work as a team, we can help lower this figure in our little area north of Seattle.
How Often Should My Child Go to the Dentist?
Your child’s baby teeth are important. To help your child get the best start, schedule their first appointment with a trusted Tucson dentist when their first baby tooth comes in, or by their first birthday. After that, be sure to schedule your child’s checkups every six months. Regular dental visits are recommended to prevent oral health concerns and treat those that appear as soon as possible.
If you are looking for a fun, friendly pediatric dental office where your child can receive exceptional dental care, then you have come to the right place!
