Pediatric Dentistry is the dental specialty recognized by the American Dental Association which encompasses comprehensive dental care for all children, from infancy through adolescence. A pediatric dentist, like Dr. Mills, Dr. McCoy and Dr. Lawson are practitioners who, after becoming a general dentist (often called a family dentist), has completed at least an additional two years of post-doctoral training in the recognition and treatment of children's dental services. Specialty education includes child psychology, behavior guidance, preventive techniques, restorative dentistry, and the treatment of children with special needs. Our doctors have gone beyond the requirements of a Pediatric Dental Specialist, becoming certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. A thorough exam will be done to evaluate the health of your child's teeth, gums and mouth. One of our doctors will evaluate your child's growth and development and check to make sure your child's oral development is on track. Our office will make child-specific recommendations for the need of sealants, fluoride and other services based on your child's individual needs and habits. We strive to make each visit fun, educational and memorable for you & your child!
