Why it's Best for Your Child to Visit a Pediatric Dentist

Did you know that pediatric dentists complete additional studies in order to specialize in the care and treatment of children's teeth?

Unlike general dentists who are trained in the general health and care of teeth, a pediatric dentist is specialized in the care of children and the unique needs of their growing smiles. This is important because unlike adult teeth, your child's smile goes through several stages of change and development. A pediatric dentist is specially trained to care for your child's teeth through every stage.

We Specialize in Children's Teeth

At North Scottsdale Pediatric Dentistry, we are specifically trained to treat the unique needs of your child's developing smile. Dr. Cohen is knowledgeable about the potential problems children face as they develop good oral hygiene. He has a deep understanding of the complexities of how teeth grow and develop, and through regular dental visits can often prevent potential problems before they begin.

Focus on Preventative Care

Protecting your child's smile through prevention of dental problems ensures a lifetime of good dental health. By scheduling regular dental visits with North Scottsdale Pediatric Dentistry, you will receive more than just quality dental care for your child. We are passionate about protecting your child's smile and we will equip you with the tools and advice you need to teach your child healthy habits at home.

Kid-Friendly Office

Did you know that pediatric dentists utilize smaller, more child-friendly machines? It's true! Our equipment is specifically designed with kid's mouths in mind. Additionally, our team will work to ease your child into their exams by introducing dental tools one at a time. This will help children understand the more complex and often "scary-looking" tools without frightening or overwhelming them.

In addition to our kid-friendly equipment, North Scottsdale Pediatric Dentistry is designed to delight your child with our bright décor, fun filled waiting room, and post-visit goodie bags. This helps ease your child's nervousness and build their level of comfort and confidence. Additionally, when your child sees other children having a positive dental experience, it will encourage them to follow! In this way, we are able to create a dental home for children where they can create positive experiences and building trusting relationships with the dental team in order to ensure a lifetime of happy and healthy smiles.

Growing Big Smiles for Scottsdale

At North Scottsdale Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that specializing in children's smiles is about more than just their teeth. Dr. Cohen and the team are specially trained to deal with frightened children and those with special needs. With over 15 years of experience in making kids smile, Dr. Cohen can help your child feel at ease and comfortable at the dentist too!
