Making the Switch: When to Transition from Pediatric to General Dentistry

Are you unsure about when your child should transition from their
pediatric dentist to a general dentist? At Bilski Dental, we often encounter
this question from concerned parents. There’s no definitive age or
size cut-off, but there are a few factors to consider when deciding to make
the switch.

Typically, pediatric dentists treat patients from infancy up to
their teenage years. However, it’s important to consider individual
needs and preferences when deciding when to transition to a general dentist.
Here are a few factors to think about:

•    The child’s
overall dental health
•    The level of comfort the child
has with their pediatric dentist
•    The parent’s preference
for a dentist

While pediatric dentists are specially trained to cater to the
unique needs of children, general dentists can also provide comprehensive care
to younger patients. At Bilski Dental, we make sure to create a comfortable
and welcoming environment for children transitioning to our
practice.

If you’re unsure about when your child should switch to a
general dentist, don’t hesitate to contact Bilski
Dental. Our friendly and experienced team will be more than happy to guide
you through the process and help you make the right decision for your
child’s dental health.
