Our team at ABC Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics hears this question a lot. According to our friends at the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), pediatric dentistry is “an age-defined specialty that provides both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral healthcare for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special healthcare needs.”
Pediatric dentists, such as Drs. Adrienne and Ashley Barnes, are dedicated to the oral health of our young patients from infancy through their teen years. Our team at ABC Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics has the experience and qualifications to care for your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout his or her various stages of childhood.
Pediatric dentists complete at least four years of dental school, including an additional two additional years of residency training in dentistry for infants, children, teens, and children with special needs.
At ABC Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we know children are not born with a fear of the dentist, but they can fear the unknown. And that is why Drs. Adrienne and Ashley Barnes and our team know how to examine and treat children in ways that make them relaxed and comfortable.
