Highly Rated Pediatric Dentist in Ontario, CA

Pediatric dentistry is a specialized field dedicated to children’s oral and dental healthcare. When dental students are in school, they must undergo intensive training in the areas of medicine and psychology, as well, to prepare them for working with children of all ages.

In this specialized field, it’s important to know the changes growing mouths experience and all the different ways teeth and jaws can change, including problems they may develop. It’s also important to understand why children may have certain issues at home, like being fussy eaters or complaining of tooth pain.

Additionally, common problems that arise with young children include issues due to baby bottle tooth decay, thumb sucking, and sippy cups. Having this knowledge helps better convey to parents what may be going on behaviorally and how to curb bad habits.

Family-Friendly Atmosphere

One way pediatric dental offices appeal to kids and parents alike, is the design and decor are geared toward keeping kids occupied and happy. We decorate with bright, happy colors and provide books, toys, and games for our young clientele.

We also take great pride in having open communication with children and parents, answering questions honestly and directly but in non-threatening ways to avoid instilling fear or anxiety. For kids, this means they can ask us anything about teeth, and we will come up with fun ways to answer, often using props to show them how to properly brush or floss.

Parental Involvement

While our main goal as a pediatric dental office is to consistently provide exceptional dental care to children, we also take pride in instilling positive attitudes and values about caring for young teeth at home. This often means sharing a long-term plan with parents, so they can reinforce positive habits and behaviors while curbing negative ones.

Kids caring for their own teeth at home is an essential part of their overall healthcare and self-confidence. Sometimes parents may need to brush their teeth alongside their child to show how fun it can be, and sometimes it may be up to the parent to limit pacifier usage. The key is to keep parents involved and educated, and for parents to keep the dentist informed about behaviors at home.
