Why Pediatric Dentistry?
Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?
Pediatric dentists like Dr. Bennett, D.D.S., specialize in caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. After dental school, pediatric dentists complete two additional years of specialized training to treat the unique dental, developmental, behavioral, and special health care needs of infants, children, and adolescents. Dr. Bennett completed her pediatric residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. This training helps children receive care that is appropriate for their age, growth, and comfort level.
Why Specialty Training Matters
No one person can be an expert in every area of health care. Just as physicians specialize in areas like heart surgery, orthopedics, or pediatrics, dentists also have specialties. Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry, with advanced training focused on the dental needs of infants, children, teenagers, and patients with special health care needs. This training helps them understand children’s growth, behavior, and comfort in the dental setting. Pediatric dentists provide age-appropriate care for children.
