What Pediatric Dentistry means for Wilmington residents
Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. They complete 2–3 years of additional training focused on children's oral health from infancy through adolescence, including patients with special healthcare needs. Their offices are designed to be child-friendly, and they're trained in behavior management techniques that help anxious kids feel comfortable.
