Ensuring happy, healthy smiles ~ one child at a time. Dr. Jason Nudelman is a board certified pediatric dentist and surgeon.
The pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school that is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. The very young, preteen, teenagers and children with special needs all require different approaches in dealing with their behavior; guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems. The pediatric dentist is the best qualified to meet these needs.
Our office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA) and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
