Frequently Asked Questions

Why a pediatric dentist?

A pediatric dentist receives specialized training in treating young people and those with special healthcare needs in a minimum 2-year residency program.  In the same way that you take a child to visit a pediatrician, it is strongly recommended to take your child to a pediatric dentist.

How parent-friendly is Good to Grow Dental Center?

Trusted adults are welcome to stay with young children during visits at Good to Grow Dental Center.

We ask caregivers to follow a few simple rules to help your child feel safe and happy. We encourage the use of child-friendly words when talking about tools and care.
Your child will do best if adults let our team guide your child during the visit.

As children grow, they may do parts of the visit on their own. After age 6, our dental team will guide most of your child’s dental visit.
