Do Regular Dentists Treat Children?

Many regular dental offices accept patients of all ages, including infants, children, teens, and adults. These are family dental offices. Some general dentists limit their patient base to only children and do not treat adults, practicing only children’s dentistry. Pediatric dentists complete advanced training in children’s dentistry beyond dental school and only see infants, children, and teenagers, with parents and guardians accompanying their children to appointments without receiving dental care themselves.

Experience

When it comes to oral healthcare for children, pediatric dentists have special training and extensive experience from their advanced education called a residency. Their specialization in pediatric dentistry can greatly benefit your children, particularly if they have unique oral health needs. But it doesn’t mean that a dentist without this certification isn’t qualified to care for your child’s oral health. Many family dentists have experience and on-the-job training working with all ages, from babies to the elderly, and can provide excellent care for your entire family.

Amenities

Regular dentists have an office environment that is uncomplicated and comfortable to help kids and adults alike feel welcome. The design will be simple to appeal to a range of ages. In contrast, a pediatric dental office has decor and amenities geared specifically towards children to make the experience less stressful and intimidating. Everything is carefully arranged to accommodate the attention spans, interests, worries, and special needs of young patients.
