Pediatric dentistry is a dental specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral health problems in infants, children, adolescents, young adults, and children with special needs. Pediatric dentists have specific training that qualifies them to provide care for children’s teeth and gums as they change throughout childhood. Pediatric dentists provide comprehensive care, from preventative treatment like cleanings and sealants to treatment for oral disease and injuries. A pediatric dentist will also counsel parents about a child’s nutritional and hygienic habits.

Did you know…

that early childhood caries is the most common chronic disease in American children? It is far more prevalent than other common childhood illnesses, such as asthma. Furthermore, tooth decay and gum disease that begins early in life are likely to progress over time, potentially leading to a lifetime of oral complications.

TODDLER + INFANT

Infants and toddlers: Dental Care Early in Life The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advises setting up your child's first dental check as soon as the first tooth grows, preferably before their first birthday. It's crucial to practice proper oral hygiene from the beginning. Baby teeth enable your kid to talk effectively, chew food properly, and support the regular emergence of permanent teeth. Dr. Cho can assist you in taking care of your child's oral health since she has a lot of expertise in treating newborns and young children.

CHILDREN'S DENTISTRY

Prevention Focused Dental Care for Children Children's dental needs differ from adults' since their teeth and jaws are still growing. Therefore, Dr. Cho and his staff are very knowledgeable about dental problems unique to children. A prevention-focused approach to dentistry includes regular cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and screenings for orthodontic issues that may require early treatment.

ADOLESCENTS +TEENS

Dental Care for Adolescents and Teens Due to issues including a higher incidence of cavities, gingivitis, and facial injuries from sports, as well as difficulties with orthodontic treatment and the use of cigarettes and other substances, adolescent patients have particular dental needs. In addition, during adolescence, children may become more aware of and self-conscious about their stained teeth, crooked teeth, and other oral flaws. Dr. Cho has received specialized training to address teen patients' issues and assist them in achieving the attractive, healthy smiles they seek

SPECIAL NEEDS DENTISTRY

Dental Care for Special Needs Children Tooth decay, gum disease, and oral trauma are more common in children with special needs. Dr. Cho can help you to choose the best preventative dental care and treatment options for your child since she has experience treating kids with a wide range of complex medical and dental requirements, including kids with uncommon disorders.
