Pediatric Dentistry

Serving Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale, Arizona

An early start on dental health can prevent a lifetime of dental and health problems. Pediatric dentists Dr. LeSueur and Dr. Dodaro begin seeing infants at 12 to 18 months old and feel that by three years old they are getting a late start.

Catching and preventing dental problems

Early detection can help us prevent serious dental problems in your child. We can also teach you what to expect during your child’s development, how to spot potential dental problems, and how to prevent problems from arising.

Certain habits and activities can damage your child’s teeth and even affect the development of the structure of the mouth, causing problems later in life that will require extensive treatment. We can teach you how to avoid these things.

Other health issues

Dental problems can appear to be other health problems or can cause other health problems. For instance, TMJ often shows up as chronic ear infections and children wind up taking round after round of antibiotics – damaging their long-term health, or with tubes in their ears, when the problem was really a misaligned bite.

A neuromuscular dentist, such as Dr. LeSueur or Dr. Dodaro, can diagnose and treat TMJ, before your child is harmed.

Establish good habits with good experiences

Fear is the main reason why people avoid going to the dentist. Starting your child out early in life with regular pediatric dental visits will establish good habits and prevent painful dental problems, meaning regular, pleasant dental experiences.
