Pediatric dentists specialize in providing oral health care to children from infancy through their teen years. Think of them as pediatricians for your teeth.
Pediatric dentists (sometimes called pedodontists) can also play a vital role for children who have special needs, prefer a gentler touch or have unique oral health care circumstances.

Great tips. It is very informative information. I love reading this information on your post. I would definitely try to follow your tips. Thanks for sharing this information with us.

That is really interesting that pediatric dentistry requires special training and education. That sounds like something that I would want to have in a dentist for my kids. That way I know that their teeth would be well looked at since the dentist will have been well trained.
That would be nice to have a gentle touch at the dentist. Maybe I should take my baby to the child dentist. Then I know they will be gentle.
