Understanding Pediatric Dentistry

Children’s dental needs are unique and require specialized care that adapts as they grow. Cavities, also known as caries or tooth decay, are the most common chronic disease of childhood. More than one in five children between the ages of 2 and 5 have at least one cavity in their baby teeth. Left untreated, cavities can cause pain and infections and even lead to difficulties with eating, speaking, and learning. However, cavities are entirely preventable with the right care and education.

At Rejuvenation Dentistry, our biologic approach to pediatric dentistry goes beyond treating symptoms. We address the root causes of oral health issues with non-toxic, biocompatible materials and holistic techniques that nurture the natural oral microbiome. By focusing on prevention, early intervention, and education, we create a foundation for your child’s oral health that supports their overall wellness and development. Whether dealing with cavities, concerns about gum health, or ensuring the proper development of the teeth and jaws, your child’s teeth are in good hands.
