Pediatric Dentist In Atlanta Announces Infant Dental Care Services

October 17, 2016 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

Dr. Wesley Powell with Child Teen Dentistry in Atlanta, Georgia, has recently announced new services dedicated to infant oral care. The dental clinic is now providing care for the gums and new teeth of younger children, in an effort to promote long-term dental health in children.

"Dental care is not something that you only begin thinking about with permanent teeth," says Dr. Powell. "Overall dental health begins before teeth even grow in, and should be maintained throughout your entire life."

The dentist states that children are often intimidated by dentists, which is why the clinic offers a unique approach to infant and toddler dental care. During the child's first visit to the Atlanta clinic, he or she will be introduced to the pediatric dental team, provided with a complete office tour, and parents are given the opportunity to discuss unique dental needs with the dentist.

"It's about making children and parents feel more comfortable, and this also begins in infancy," says Dr. Powell.

The dental office, which can be visited online at http://www.childteendentistry.com/, provides lap examinations for children under a certain age. This entails the child sitting on the doctor's or parent's lap for the initial checkup, which is designed to make the child feel more comfortable with the services being provided.

Children of certain ages may also be permitted to have their examinations while sitting in the dentist's chair, which Dr. Powell states gives them a fun and unique exploration opportunity while they are being examined. Dental hygienists work with the dentist to make the exams fun and educational for both patients and their parents.

More about the unique dental care offered to infants and children can be seen at http://www.childteendentistry.com/pediatric-dentistry.html. Dr. Powell states that the entire office is dedicated to helping children, particularly those under toddler age, to become more comfortable with visiting the dentist so that as they grow, they will become more excited about their dental care as opposed to being frightened or apprehensive about dental visits.

Dr. Powell states that first impressions are crucial when it comes to protecting the teeth and gums of children, and that their office is focused on making those first impressions memorable for children. More can be seen at https://plus.google.com/+Childteen.
