What Is A Pediatric Dentist?
A pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school, and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through their teenage years. A pediatric dentist is best qualified to meet the needs of this broad age range as they have a greater understanding of the normal growth and development of children, and can approach each child differently based on his or her unique needs.
Why Are The Primary Teeth Important?
Maintaining the health of the primary (baby) teeth is very important. Neglected cavities can and frequently do lead to problems which affect the developing permanent teeth. Primary teeth are important for proper chewing and eating, providing space for the permanent teeth and guiding them into the correct position, and permitting normal development of the jaw bones and muscles. Primary teeth are also an important part of the development of speech. The front four upper and lower primary teeth are usually lost between ages of 6 and 7 years old, while the back teeth (canines and molars) are usually lost between ages 10 and 13 years old.
What's The Best Toothpaste For My Child?
Tooth brushing is one of the most important tasks for good oral health. Many toothpastes, and/or tooth polishes, however, can damage young smiles. They contain harsh abrasives, which can wear away young tooth enamel. When looking for toothpaste for your child, make sure to pick one that is recommended by the American Dental Association as shown on the box and tube. These toothpastes have undergone testing to ensure they are safe to use.
Use only a smear of toothpaste (the size of a grain of rice) to brush the teeth of a child less than 3 years of age. For children 3 to 6 years old, use a "pea-size" amount of toothpaste and perform or assist your child’s toothbrushing. Remember that young children do not have the ability to brush their teeth effectively on their own. Children should spit out and not swallow excess toothpaste after brushing.

Dr. Jeremy Bateman
I had braces in college, while in the midst of my career exploration. I loved the atmosphere in my orthodontist’s office: everyone seemed to be happy and having fun! I was already leaning toward a career in healthcare and my braces experience inspired and tipped me toward this path.
After practicing for more than ten years, I have no doubt I made the right decision. I love what I do, all of it, but especially the people I encounter and treat. I am happiest when I am connecting with others: making them smile, laugh, and know they are appreciated for who they are.
Seeing each person’s transformation throughout treatment still fascinates and thrills me. I love watching children and adolescents experience their personal growth and maturation, which is often accompanied by a growing self-esteem and confidence during treatment. I also love working with my adult patients, giving each of them the smile they’ve always wanted!
