Maintaining regular six month check ups enables habit reinforcement and monitoring of the growing child and dentition, minimizing the need for costly interventions. Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. A pediatric dentist has two to three years specialty training following dental school and limits his/her practice to treating children only.

About Sedation
Report
Nitrous oxide (or laughing gas) is a colorless and virtually odorless blend of 2 gases with a faint, sweet smell. When inhaled, it is absorbed by the body and has a calming effect. It is an effective agent for lessening pain and anxiety. It generally works well in children who have some degree of cooperation.
For Parents
Report
Your child's first dental experience is an important one. A pediatric dentist is specially trained in children's oral health and milestones in their growth and development. This presents a unique opportunity to assess your child's mouth, tissues as well as their teeth; it also facilitates a discussion with you as their parent about home oral care habits and the chance to educate about best practices or changes as needed.
