Pediatric Dentists in Cleveland, OH

Pediatric dentists are specialized in children’s oral health maintenance. Pediatric dentists receive an additional 2-3 years of specialized training in pediatrics, special needs, child psychology, and development. Infants should be seen for their first dentist appointment around age 1, followed by semi-annual visits until adolescence. Visits may include a physical exam of the mouth, teeth cleanings, cavity fillings, and x-rays. Pediatric dentists are able to refer children to orthodontists as they grow and permanent teeth come in.
