What is a Pediatric Dentist?

When we were growing up, there weren't many pediatric dentists around.  Chances are, you saw the same dentist as your mom or dad saw.  You might be wondering, what makes a pediatric dentist so special?

A pediatric dentist is a dentist who completes an additional 2 or 3 years of training specific to the growth, development, and treatment of children.  That means they know the ins-and-outs of young growing teeth, which can differ widely from an adult set of teeth.  Armed with this knowledge, Dr. Marshall and Dr. Bunch of Northwest Children's Dentistry specialize in oral care for all children from birth to 18 years of age, including special needs children.  Our office is equipped to handle a variety of dental issues that will relate to your child.

As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to make your visit comfortable with us.  Feel free to ask us any questions about pediatric dentist training in the comments below.
