Pediatric Dentist in Chicago, IL

Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?

Taking your child to a pediatric dentist is essential for building a foundation of good oral health. Unlike general dentists, pediatric dentists specialize in treating children’s unique dental needs, including preventive care, cavity protection, and early orthodontic assessments.

Benefits of Early Dental Visits:

• Prevent cavities and gum issues with regular cleanings and fluoride treatments
• Ensure proper tooth development and prevent alignment issues
• Create a positive dental experience to reduce fear and build trust

FAQs About Pediatric Dentistry

When should my child first see a dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by age 1 or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits help prevent cavities and establish good oral care habits.

How can I help prevent cavities in my child?

• Brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
• Limit sugary snacks and drinks
• Visit the dentist every six months for cleanings and checkups

Does my child need dental sealants?

Yes. Sealants are a great way to prevent cavities, especially on the back molars where food and bacteria can get trapped. They are quick, painless, and highly effective.

What happens during a first dental visit?

Your child’s first visit will include:

• A gentle exam to check tooth development
• A fun introduction to the dental chair and tools
• A kid-friendly cleaning if needed
• Tips for healthy brushing habits at home

Is pediatric dentistry covered by insurance?

Many dental insurance plans cover preventive care like cleanings, exams, and fluoride treatments for children. We’re happy to help you verify your coverage.
