Dr. Shukla's Dent Care

Pediatric Dentistry

We treat dental problems for children of all ages. The early preventive dental care provided to children can help prevent problems related to oral health later in life.
Pediatric Dentistry, dentistry for children, is a dental specialty that concentrates its attention on infants and children providing preventive and therapeutic oral health care. During the “growth” phase of a child, special approaches are needed to guide the dental growth and development in order to avoid future dental problems.
Your child’s first visit to the dentist should occur by 12 months of age. This visit will enable the dentist to evaluate your child and introduce you to proper oral hygiene. Diet, fluoride, finger and pacifier habits and tooth eruption will be discussed to insure optimal dental health.
