Success Stories from Our Pediatric Dentist in Los Angeles Serving Adams Square

When 5-year-old Sophia of Adams Square initially visited Smile Buds, she couldn't stop crying at the sight of dental equipment. Her mother, Jessica, was at her wit's end. "We had tried two other dentists, but Sophia's anxiety just got worse," Jessica remembers. All of that changed with just one visit from our caring pediatric dentist. "Dr. Kim took the time to introduce Sophia to each instrument, to let her hold them, and even practiced on a stuffed animal first," states Jessica. "Now Sophia actually asks when her next cleaning is!" Sophia now has cavity-free visits and wears her healthy smile proudly around Adams Square Park.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry in Adams Square

1. At what age should my child go for his or her initial pediatric dentist visit?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry suggests children should see the dentist for their first visit around age 1, or whenever their first tooth erupts. Early visits to our pediatric dentist help Adams Square families establish healthy habits and diagnose problems before they develop.

2. What is the difference between a pediatric dentist and a regular dentist?

Pediatric dentists have an extra 2-3 years of training after dental school, only treating children exclusively. Our pediatric dentist can handle Adams Square children of all ages in their dental needs.

3. How frequently will my child visit the pediatric dentist?

Most kids should come every six months. A few Adams Square children may need to come more frequently, and we'll discuss that in your child's personal plan.

4. How can I prevent my child from being afraid of going to the dentist?

We suggest positive words about dental visits, not sharing your own fears, reading children's books about dentists, and a "meet and greet" before treatment.
