Pediatric Dentists are like pediatricians for teeth. After dental school, they complete 2-3 extra years focusing solely on children's dental care.
Schedule their first appointment around their first birthday. This helps parents understand their child's dental needs early on.
Reassure them that everything will be fine. Avoid using words like "shot" or "needle."
