Young Dentistry For Children - Westminster

A pediatric dentist is a dentist that treats children, whereas a general dentists has not had the additional training to specialize in children's oral health. Our board certified dentists have received specialized dental training which focuses on diagnosing, treating and managing oral health issues specifically for children.

Sometimes the frenulum, the small fold of tissue under a child's tongue is too thick and it ties the tongue so that the child had a difficult time speaking. This is called being "tongue tied". Our board certified pediatric dentists can help solve this issue by performing a Frenectomy. The frenulum is "clipped" releasing the tongue.

A board certified pediatric dentist means that the dentist has reached the educational pinnacle of their field. It means that that dentist is an expert in the field of pediatric dentistry. It requires additional education.

The academy of pediatric dentistry recommends that you start bringing your children in when their first tooth shows up or around 1 year of age.

If your child's tooth is badly decayed ... or possibly if the tooth has been damaged, then we may recommend extracting the tooth. It really depends on the case. The best thing to do would be to stop by and let us take a quick look. Please give us a call to discuss.
