Pediatric dentistry also involves the study of developmental psychology. This helps a pediatric dentist understand how children think, and to make the dental experience as positive and rewarding as possible. From the setting of their offices to the tones of their voice, pediatric dentists fine-tune everything in their practice for children.
This helps them feel comfortable and relaxed during their dental visits. Pediatric dentists also receive special training in dealing with dental patients with special needs. Along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend scheduling a child’s first dental visit by his or her first birthday.
