At Pediatric Dental Specialists, our goal for your child is the elimination of dental disease. To meet this goal requires the cooperation of the child, parents and the dentist. We believe that prevention of disease is far more enjoyable, less costly and more comfortable for all concerned. Preventive maintenance can keep dental problems to a minimum. Our practice encourages first dental visits at the time of a child's first birthday. Dental health also depends upon good habits, such as proper diet and regular dental visits. We will have a chance to discuss these points during future visits.
