Children's Dentistry

For most parents, this is a very important if not an annoying question.

Why should you, after all, try to find a more specialised dentist when you have your family dentist to take care of you? Why do you have to look for a children’s dentistry?

Well, to be frank, is a paediatric dentist necessary?

Let’s back up a little bit. When your child is feeling unwell, to whom do you take them for medical care? A general practitioner, or a paediatrician? Of course, you would choose to go to the latter, right?

That is because paediatricians are better trained to deal with the needs and requirements of children.

For instance, some medicines require different dosage for children as compared to adults. Paediatricians know about these in detail, and could give appropriate advice to the parents.

Plus, paediatricians also know how delicate the bodies of children can be. They know how to subscribe the proper medical care that can help children avoid developing complications that adults are not otherwise at risk of.
