Little smiles require attention from a specialist. Pediatric dentists have specialized training, beyond dentistry, allowing them to provide a wide range of treatments to protect and improve your child’s smile, while helping them to develop healthy habits. This includes making kids to feel comfortable with dentists and dentistry so they can enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles. When considering a new pediatric dentist in Avon, OH, there are several important things to consider.

Questions to Ask Yourself

  1. Does the dentist have special training? Pediatric dentists do. After four years of dental school and four years of college, pediatric dentists invest another two to three years in their specialty, gaining knowledge and experience.
  2. Will your child feel comfortable in the office environment? The right dentist for your child will provide an atmosphere that is warm and welcoming. The staff should be friendly and patient.
  3. Is there an emphasis on patient education and prevention? Your pediatric dentist in Avon, OH, should teach you and your child about healthy teeth and gums. If there are options that can help to prevent cavities, you should be informed of them, such as sealants and fluoride treatments.
  4. Do you feel comfortable with the doctor and staff? You should feel as if your child’s smile is in good hands. It is important that you feel as comfortable with the dental team as your child does.

Schedule a Consultation to Be Sure

The best course of action is to schedule a consultation to get to know the doctor, staff, and environment before your child needs dental work for cavities. For excellent dental care from a pediatric dentist in Avon, OH, call our office today. Dr. Carolyn B. Crowell will help to protect your child’s smile and promote habits that build healthy teeth and gums.
