Why Choose A Paediatric Dentist Over a General Dentist For Your Child?

Paediatric Dentists are dental experts who qualify in general dentistry and seek further three years of specialist qualifications in paediatric dentistry. After graduation, they are invited to undertake an additional post-graduate masters degree in specialist coursework and research. After three years, a paediatric dentist has to work in a hospital or in a private practice setting to get hands-on experience treating children and young patients with special needs.

To put it simply, a paediatric dentist is specially trained to cater personalized dental treatments to every child according to their special needs. Of course, a general dentist can also treat children, but not with such a thorough approach. Our paediatric dentist, for example, is especially known for handling kids’ emotional needs and forming lasting relationships with their families.
