Pediatric Dentistry
The term “pediatric dentistry” refers to dental care provided during the years from infancy to adolescence. As a parent, you know that these years set the stage for a healthy, productive adulthood. During this time, patterns are set that will continue through the rest of your child’s life, whether it’s a matter of education, enjoyment of sports, the ability to form healthy friendships or many other aspects of their future. This is also the most important time to pay attention to dental health.
Not only can you detect and handle emerging problems before they become serious, you can help your child develop healthy habits that will lead to a lifetime of dental and oral health. At Hillock Family Dental, we understand how valuable it can be for your child’s first encounter with the dentist to be warm, friendly and stress-free – and fun. As a top pediatric dentist in Modesto, CA, we want to do all that we can to make you and your child as comfortable as possible.
