Interested in learning more about your child’s dental care? Below, you’ll find our team’s helpful answers to a number of common pediatric dentistry questions.
What is the Best Way to Find a Pediatric Dentist?
Your child deserves the best care possible when it comes to their smile. As such, it’s not enough to simply perform a Google search for “pediatric dentist near me” and pick the first result that comes up; you need to research your options carefully in order to figure out which one is right for your little one.
It’s a good idea to make a list of the traits that you want your new pediatric dental office to have, such as “accepts my dental insurance plan” and “is located near my home.” Then you can specifically search for a practice that meets these criteria. Upon finding one, you can check the pediatric dentist’s credentials to get a feel for the quality of the care they offer.
If a pediatric dentist is board-certified, you can rest assured that they have demonstrated extensive expertise in their field. Our own Dr. Mehta has earned the distinction of being a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
How Much Does a Child’s Dental Checkup & Cleaning Cost in Katy?
To keep your child’s smile in excellent health, you will want to make room in your budget for two pediatric dental checkups and cleanings each year. The cost of these visits can vary depending on where your pediatric dentist’s office is located, your child’s overall dental health, and other factors. Your dental insurance plan will likely provide coverage for preventive care, so be sure to double-check your benefits to see how they can help you save money on a checkup and cleaning.
What Level of Education is Required to Be a Pediatric Dentist?
In order to become a pediatric dentist, one must:
- Earn a bachelor’s degree, typically with a major that focuses on math and science.
- Enroll in one of the United States’s 67 accredited dental schools.
- Complete four years of dental school and earn a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS).
- Complete a pediatric dentistry residency, which normally takes around two years.
In addition to the above, all pediatric dentists must complete a set number of continuing education hours in order to remain certified.
What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Pediatric Dentist?
If you’re not sure how you can fit your child’s dental care into your budget, our team is more than happy to help. We can review your dental insurance policy and work with you to create a plan for maximizing your benefits. Furthermore, we can help you apply for a CareCredit financing plan that allows you to pay for your child’s care in monthly installments rather than all at once. If you have any questions about the cost of your little one’s care or your options for payment, give us a call.
