Pediatric dentists specialize in treating children. But any general dentist can also treat children, so why go to one who only sees kids? In this post we’ll explain why your children should have a dentist who knows kids.

Kids actually have different teeth than adults. And the issues associated with teething, losing teeth, and straightening are all very specific to children. Dentists who work with children focus on using the types of treatments and materials that best suit children. They read up on the latest research and techniques for treating kids.

From the waiting room to the dental hygienists, pediatric dental offices are designed for kids. Pediatric dentists hire fun and caring staff who love kids and understand how to make them feel comfortable in our office. We set up our office to be more open and to have space for family or caregivers to be in the back with their child.

After dental school, pediatric dentists do additional training with only infants, kids, teens, and children with special needs. Also, dentists who work with children choose to take continuing education courses in topics that impact children.

Dental offices that cater to children dedicate themselves to patient education. We focus on teaching proper brushing and flossing techniques, eating healthy foods, and helping children understand why their dental health is part of their overall health.

At Super Kids Austin we are committed to each child we see. Our dentists and staff have chosen to work only with infants, kids, and teens. Our goal is making your child feel welcomed and comfortable in our office. And most of all, we believe that early dental health is key for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
