comprehensive dental care for kids
Pediatric Dentist in Levelland
Pediatric dentistry (formerly pedodontics) focuses on the dental care of children, from infants to teens. Recognized as a specialty by the American Dental Association (ADA), pediatric dentists undergo additional years of training beyond general dentistry. This specialized care also extends to children with special needs, including those with autism, cerebral palsy, or developmental challenges.
One key aspect of pediatric dentistry is child psychology. Pediatric dentists are skilled in creating a welcoming, non-threatening environment to ensure children have positive dental experiences and develop a “dental home” early on. This approach helps prevent dental phobias, which can persist into adulthood.
