What is Children's Dentistry?
How Does Children's Dentistry Work?
Children’s dentistry operates on the principle of providing specialized dental care that caters to the unique needs and sensitivities of young patients. Dr. Zemskova and our staff are trained to create a child-friendly and comfortable environment, using age-appropriate techniques and communication skills to ensure that children feel at ease during their dental visits.
During a children’s dentistry appointment, Dr. Zemskova will typically perform a comprehensive oral examination, assess the child’s dental growth and development, and identify any dental issues or concerns. She may also provide preventive treatments such as fluoride applications to strengthen the teeth or dental sealants to protect against cavities. If necessary, Dr. Zemskova may recommend further treatments such as fillings, extractions, or orthodontic intervention.
