Pyfferoen Pediatric Dentistry specializes in oral health care for infants, children, adolescents, and children with special health care needs.
Children's Dentist
A pediatric dentist has advanced/specialized training in the oral health of children. A pediatric dentist understands the special needs of a young person and their developing mouth and teeth. A child friendly dentist can create a positive dental visit for your child. Positive dental visits can help prevent cavities and contribute to a healthy mouth and teeth.
Oral Health
Parents can also help prevent cavities and promote a healthy mouth and teeth at home. Offering nutritious meals and snacks, encouraging brushing and flossing, and using a fluoridated toothpaste will help to promote a healthy mouth and teeth. Many adults know that good nutrition is important for growing bodies, but they often don’t realize that good nutrition is important for a healthy mouth and teeth.
Cavities
Dental cavities are the most common childhood disease. Dental pain due to cavities can lead to problems with eating, speaking, and difficulty learning. Many school hours are lost each year to dental related pain/illness. It is important to have cavities treated in baby teeth to help prevent dental pain and infection; and to help preserve space in the mouth until the adult teeth are ready to come in.
