<p>Pediatric dentists have the experience and qualifications to take care of children’s teeth, gums, and mouth. While all dentists attend a four-year accredited school to receive their dentistry degree, pediatric dentists have additional training and qualifications. According to <a title="Read more about Residency Programs" href="https://www.aapd.org/resources/member/resident-resources/residency-programs/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Pediatric-Dentist">America’s Pediatric Dentists</a>, these dental specialists go through a two-year residency program to focus on treating children. This two-year program immerses them in scientific study and clinical experience and allows them to study topics including:

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>A pediatric dentist can provide dental treatment to children from infancy through their teenage years. The <a title="Read more about Your Baby's First Dental Visit" href="https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/babies-and-kids/first-dental-visit" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Pediatric-Dentist">American Dental Association</a> recommends that children should see a pediatric dentist for their first appointment after their first tooth appears or before their first birthday. A child’s first tooth typically appears around six months of age.</p>
<p>While the first appointment may seem early, it is important to be proactive about preventing cavities and maintaining a child’s oral health. The <a title="Read more about Dental Caries (Tooth Decay) in Children Age 2 to 11" href="https://www.nidcr.nih.gov/research/data-statistics/dental-caries/children" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Pediatric-Dentist">National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research</a> reports that almost 28% of young children have had cavities by the age of 5, and over 50% have had cavities by the age of 11. Children can receive the regular dental care they need to maintain healthy mouths from a pediatric dentist until age 18.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>One of the biggest benefits of seeing a pediatric dentist is their focus on preventive health and maintenance. These specialists can help children develop good oral hygiene habits at a young age. Developing these healthy habits early on will help children maintain them as they get older. Another benefit is that pediatric dentists know how to examine and treat children while helping them feel comfortable. This positive experience helps children develop healthy, positive relationships with dental professionals and treatment.</p>
<p>A pediatric dentist can also identify potential oral issues early on. This includes risk assessment for caries and early diagnosis of oral issues linked to problems, such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease. Identifying potential issues helps the dentist and parents design a care plan or take preventive measures to prevent future problems.</p>

<p>Besides preventative care, pediatric dentists can also provide more specialized dental services. Some examples include providing counseling for children who are still sucking their thumb and the provision of early orthodontic treatment for children with crooked teeth or a misaligned bite. Children with special needs, such as autism, physical disabilities, Down syndrome, and ADHD, can also benefit from specialized pediatric dental care.</p>
<p>Pediatric dentists can provide special needs patients with the personalized attention, knowledge, and necessary accommodations they need. It is beneficial for patients with special needs to see a pediatric dentist since they know their dental history, special treatments, and procedure needs. Due to their specialized training, pediatric dentists can handle many difficult behavioral situations such as anxiety and fear.</p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Is treatment from a pediatric dentist covered by insurance?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Every insurance plan is different. Parents should contact their insurance provider for more information about pediatric dentistry coverage. If this care is not covered, it may be possible to find another insurance option during an open enrollment period. Some parents may also use a flexible spending account or health savings account to cover their child’s treatment cost.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What happens when a child is too old for a pedodontist?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">In general, a child is never too old to visit a pediatric dentist. However, once they reach a certain age, they may choose to transition to a general dentist in their later teens. It ultimately depends on the patient’s specific behavior and needs.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How often should a child visit a pediatric dentist?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">In general, a routine appointment for a check-up and cleaning should take place every six months. However, this may vary based on each child’s oral health. Those more susceptible to caries or other issues may need to see the dentist more frequently. Our dentist will make the appropriate recommendations after performing an exam.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What type of dental care should happen at home?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Along with visiting a pediatric dentist regularly, parents should make sure children follow a regular at-home oral hygiene routine. This includes brushing at least twice a day, flossing, and any other treatment the dentist recommends. A healthy diet that keeps sugar to a minimum can also help.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Does a pedodontist take X-rays of children?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Once a child reaches an appropriate age, the dentist may take X-rays to get an overall view of the patient’s oral health and identify issues before they progress further. However, they only take what is necessary, and the radiation exposure is limited. High-speed film and lead shields ensure the safety of young patients.</span></p>
