Do Pediatric Dentists Have Special Training to Work with Kids?

Pediatric dentists complete specialized training to develop a unique skillset and knowledge base so they can provide the best oral healthcare possible for children. Here at Tots to Teens Pediatric Dentistry in Kerrville, TX, our compassionate team provides the high-quality, pediatric dental services your family deserves in a kid-friendly environment.

Advanced Training for Pediatric Dentists

A pediatric dentist receives extensive education and training regarding dental issues specific to infants, kids, and teenagers. They learn how to care for young patients with special healthcare needs, how to effectively educate families on establishing good at-home oral health habits, and more!

Our pediatric dentist, Dr. Vishal Panchmatia, completed his pediatric dental residency at Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. Your child’s oral health is his priority! And if your child experiences dental anxiety, Dr. Panchmatia is trained to safely administer dental sedation, including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation.

How We Help Your Child Feel Comfortable

We understand that dental appointments can feel overwhelming for many kids. Thus, our team is specially trained to help make your child’s visit as positive and stress-free as possible. We utilize a variety of techniques to do so. For example, some children feel more comfortable around our dental equipment when we identify each tool and demonstrate its use before starting a treatment. Additionally, we focus on what a child is doing well during their appointment and let them know with a positive tone of voice, praise, and cheerful facial expressions.

Our Kerrville children’s dental office is also stocked with lots of kid-friendly amenities. We have a terrific play area, books, magazines, video games, blankets, beverages in the lobby, a cavity-free club, TVs with Netflix, and a treasure chest of prizes.
