Should you take your child to a pediatric dentist or general dentistry?

To reduce the inner fear of young children, the key to taking them to dental appointments is...

Children have different dental needs than adults. Generally speaking, dental care for adults should be "perfect". Teeth cleaning should be very clean and fillings should be beautiful enough. But this situation does not apply to small children. Suppose a dentist treats a 3-year-old child's tooth decay thoroughly, but the child cries to death and is unwilling to set foot in the dentistry again. This is a bad approach!

The key to children's dental care is "building a relationship" and "developing a habit". We also tell parents how to maintain and follow up their children's teeth on a daily basis.

Compared with general adult dentistry, pediatric dentists are more familiar with children’s behavior, and the clinic environment is also close to children’s preferences. Some pediatric dentists will even tell short stories before seeing a doctor to reduce the inner fear of children. In addition, although some children are very young, they have particularly high rates of tooth decay and require complex treatments. Some children's dentistry provides hypnotic anesthesia or general anesthesia for these children, so that the children can receive difficult treatments while they are more comfortable or asleep. Of course, some adult dentists are also very patient with children. The key is to find a doctor who “can establish a good relationship and return for regular visits.”

Many parents complain that children’s dentistry charges are too high. Doctors admit that the economic benefits of treating adults and children are different. Children’s dentistry requires longer time and patience, and the fees will be higher than general dentistry. It is recommended that parents ask for a quote before seeing a doctor for treatment to avoid disputes over settlement.
