Looking for the Best Pediatric Dentist in NYC?

young child at the dentist Finding the right dentist for your child is a crucial step in helping them get started on a lifetime of good dental health and care. Early experiences at the dentist can help form lasting attitudes and feelings, so it’s important to receive compassionate, expert care from the beginning.

A family dentist can provide care to children, but a pediatric dentist has two more years of additional training to help him or her expertly care for the dental needs of babies, children, and teenagers.

What to look for in a pediatric dentist

When looking for a pediatric dentist ask to schedule a consultation at a pediatric dental office if it would make you and your child more comfortable.

The following are some tips of what to look for to help you find the best pediatric dentist for your child:

  • A colorful, comfortable office: A pediatric dentist’s office should cater to kids, immediately making them feel comfortable when they arrive. You may see colorful décor as well as smaller seats and tables as well as some toys or other fun, engaging activities.
  • A friendly staff and dentist: The staff should be friendly and non-intimidating, perhaps dressing in casual attire. They should engage with and talk to your child at his or her level. The same is true of the dentist, who should have a friendly, positive personality that makes your child glad to come into the dentist’s office. He or she should be able to explain treatments on an age-appropriate level.
  • Your child’s opinion: After your visit, ask for your child’s opinion if they’re old enough to tell you. Otherwise, watch for his or her demeanor during the visit. While dental visits are certainly necessary, it’s important to make sure the office and dentist are a good fit for your child and will provide the right atmosphere and care to help him or her feel comfortable.
