What Is The Difference Between Family Dentistry And Pediatric Dentistry?
Several types of dentists include family, general, and pediatric dentists. With so many dental professionals offering services, picking the right dentist for your child can be hard. Let’s look at the differences between these dentists.
General Dentists
General dentists focus on dental care for new adults and adults. Their patients are usually 18 or older.
Family Dentists
A family dentist treats infants, children, teenagers, young adults, and adults of all ages. Family dentists can be an excellent option for continuity because your child can continue seeing their family dentist as they age.
Pediatric Dentists
Pedodontics is the dental field focused on children’s teeth. Pediatric dentists in this field treat infants, children, and adolescents. Childhood is a crucial time when children establish their dental health habits. Pediatric dentists guide them through teething, losing their baby teeth, and getting permanent teeth. Pediatric dentists teach children to care for their teeth, helping them prevent tooth decay.
Pediatric dentists also understand children. They know how to put children at ease and have resources to alleviate dental fear and anxiety so children have positive dental experiences.
A beautiful smile and the confidence that comes with it is priceless. It’s also very affordable with our limited time promo, braces as low as $89/mo!

What Is The Difference Between A Pediatric Dentist And An Orthodontist?
Some notable differences exist between pediatric dentists and dental specialists, such as orthodontists.
Orthodontists: Orthodontists treat patients of all ages. They use dental appliances to correct crooked teeth or eliminate gaps.
Pediatric dentists: Pediatric dentists focus on routine dental care for patients 18 and under, such as teaching children dental care habits, checking for cavities, and treating cavities.
Pediatric orthodontists:Pediatric orthodontics combines pediatric dentistry and orthodontic care. These orthodontists treat children and adolescents. Like orthodontists, Absolute Dental’s pediatric orthodontic team uses appliances to fix misaligned teeth.
Choosing the best pediatric dentist ensures your child gets the dental care they need. Things to consider include experience, affordability, and location.
Experience
Experienced pediatric dentists understand children and their fears and have many strategies they can use to put your child at ease.
Affordability
Dental treatment can be expensive. At Absolute Dental, our special offers include the following services:
Dental exams
Braces
Teeth cleaning
Implants
In addition to accepting several dental insurance plans, Absolute Dental offers financing options for patients without dental coverage.
Traveling long distances can be inconvenient, and for some children, having lots of time to think about their upcoming dental appointments makes them anxious. Expert care from a pediatric dentist in Henderson saves you time and money and can alleviate your child’s stress. Absolute Dental’s pediatric dentist in Henderson offers the exceptional child-friendly dental care your little one needs.
