Starting a child’s dental journey on the right path is essential to achieving a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime. Dr. Kaufman is specially trained and educated to understand:
-
The growth and development of children from birth through to adulthood.
-
The unique nature of each child and how to adapt care to their individual needs.
-
The causes and treatments of common childhood dental issues, ranging from tooth decay and gum disease to tooth wear, traumatic injuries, missing, or poorly formed teeth.
Dr. Kaufman always begins with a thorough examination of a child’s dental condition. Our pediatric care philosophy emphasizes assessing the risk of tooth decay and evaluating tooth brushing habits. This includes assessing how teeth are erupting and determining if there are any delays or deviations from the normal eruption patterns. We also evaluate habits such as dummy use duration and thumb sucking, making recommendations on when intervention may be necessary.
Based on the dental assessment, Dr. Kaufman will provide personalized recommendations and, when necessary, develop a plan for pediatric dentistry. The best way to begin your child’s dental journey is to make an appointment with Dr. Kaufman
