Your Child’s Ticket to Healthy Teeth with Pediatric Dentistry

Teaching children to care for their teeth at a young age can help produce bold and beautiful smiles in later years. Pediatric dentistry specializes in children’s dental care from infancy through their teen years. If you’re looking for a pediatric dentist in Houston, Texas, to care for your children’s unique dental care needs, there’s no better choice than Dr. Monti Harpalani from Vivid Dental.

Why Pediatric Dentistry?

There are numerous reasons to consider a pediatric dentist for your child’s dental needs. Here are just a few:

• Pediatric dentists are knowledgeable in oral health issues common to children and teens and can provide effective solutions to meet their specific dental care needs.
• Pediatric dentists receive training in working with children, making it easier to relate to their young patients’ emotional needs.
• Pediatric dentists know how to put children at ease and make dental visits fun, so they’ll want to return for future treatments.
• Pediatric dentists have the tools and equipment to work on smaller mouths and teeth to make treatments easier and more comfortable for children.
• Pediatric dentists can help your kids develop good oral care habits that will last well into their adult years.

What to Expect from Your Child’s First Pediatric Dental Visit

What happens during your child’s first dental visit will depend on their age. A toddler’s first visit, for example, will be quicker and less formal than that of an older child. Toddlers and preschoolers are less likely to sit still for dental checkups and may prefer to stay on their mom’s lap during the visit.

Dr. Harpalani will do his best to help your child feel comfortable and at ease so he can briefly examine the mouth, jaw, gums, and teeth. If your child is comfortable with the idea, we may even clean their teeth. For young children, the first visit is generally an introduction to dental care to pave the way for positive dental experiences in the future.
