Pediatric Dentistry

Children are not simply small adults.  Physiologically and psychologically childen vary dramatically from adults.  Problems with developing dentitions in growing arches can lay a groundwork for complex adult dental issues. Many of us hold memories of dental treatment endured as a child.  Dr. Patel has said that repairing a damaged tooth is often not difficult but repairing a damaged tooth for a child while keeping a child happy can be extremely difficult.  Dr. Patel works through referral to pediatric dentists whenever necessary for the benefit of the child.
