WHAT IS A THE PEDIATRIC DENTIST?
The pediatric dentist is the specialist who is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years.
The very young, pre-teens and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems.
The pediatric dentist is the best qualified to meet these needs.
Pediatric dentists have had special training, which allows them to provide the most up-to-date and thorough treatment for a wide variety of children’s dental problems.
They are trained and qualified to treat special patients who may have emotional, physical or mental handicaps.
Because of this specialized training and commitment to comprehensive oral health, many parents wisely choose a pediatric dentist to treat their children.
DEFINITION OF PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY
Below is the latest
ADA definition of pediatric dentistry:
“Pediatric Dentistry is an age-defined specialty that provides primary and comprehensive, preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health care needs.”
WHAT ARE THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THIS DEFINITION THAT MAKE IT SO UNIQUE?
-
“age-defined”: Most specialties are procedure defined (endodontics, periodontics, etc.).
Pediatric dentists
provide care for their specific age group of patients.
There is no limitation to what type of treatment they provide.
-
“primary and comprehensive…”: Pediatric dentists are primary providers.
There is no need for a referral of patients.
Parents can choose to have their child treated by a pediatric dentist just like they can choose to have their child treated by a pediatrician.
-
“infants and children through adolescence”: Pediatric dentists see patients at any age from birth to their late teens.
-
“special health care needs”: Pediatric dentists have the training and experience to evaluate and treat patients that are medically compromised.
This includes patients with hemophilia, leukemia, congenital syndromes, heart defects, etc.. No other dental specialty, other than Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, is more involved in hospital care of patients.
