Pediatric Dentistry
Dr. Haj Husain, Our Pedodontist
Dentists are licensed to practice dentistry on both children and adults. Pedodontists are specialists in pediatric dentistry and have received up to three years of additional training.
The pedodontists on our staff are teachers as well as practitioners. Many children learn their best oral hygiene habits from pedodontists, including:
- Brushing
- Flossing
- Feeling comfortable in a dentist's office
- How to avoid tooth decay
- Facts and information in a way that is understandable for children
From infancy through the teenage years, pediatric dentistry focuses not only on proper oral hygiene habits, but on dental issues specific to children. Tooth decay is a chronic disease that is the most common among children - five times more common than asthma.
Your child's first birthday is not too early a time to schedule a visit with a pedodontist. From age 3 onward we recommend twice annual checkups. To schedule an appointment for your child, please call the office of Sinh T.Ta, D.D.S. today. We look forward to seeing you!
