What Is Pediatric Dentistry?
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and teens. It includes routine exams, cleanings, preventive care, and treatment for common dental concerns—all delivered in a child-friendly environment. Our goal is to keep little smiles strong, healthy, and cavity-free.
