Why Choose A Pediatric Dentist?
What Is A Pediatric Dentist?
From their first tooth to their first day in college, board certified pediatric dentists are committed to equipping your child with excellent oral habits while providing tailored care so their smile can grow bright and strong.
While all dentists must achieve a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree, board certified pediatric dentists pursue additional years of education through a postgraduate pediatric residency program. This requires an annual renewal by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry to ensure Dr. D’s care is best serving your child.
As a board certified pediatric dentist, you can trust that Dr. D provides compassionate expertise to nurture your child’s developing grin.
Why Is It Important To Form The Doctor/Patient Relationship Early?
When your child stops by our office at a young age, they’ll quickly learn that visiting their trusted smile friends can be easy and fun! The sooner your child becomes acclimated with “going to the dentist”, the more likely they’ll develop positive associations with oral health habits and dental visits.
