Pediatric dentistry is one of the most challenging forms of dentistry.

One of the biggest questions that are asked by parents of toddlers is when should my child first see a dentist? We all know when they should see a pediatrician, from the time they are born! But when should they have a specialist check out their teeth? Could it be before their teeth actually show, or do you wait for their adult teeth to begin to form? These questions are highly debated even among the professionals themselves. Many dentists that work with the little ones feel that it is not important for a child to see the dentist until he is at least showing his first baby teeth. All will agree that this is at the very latest when a child should have his first visit, but some would argue that your child should visit earlier than when he actually has teeth. The idea is that a child should visit the dentist as early as one year old just so he becomes comfortable with the surroundings. It has been argued that many adults that dont like to visit the dentist are the same people that waited until they were a little older than most kids to see him initially, and he has never felt comfortable in the office. This may or may not be true, but it could not hurt to have your child visit the...more

For many dental professionals, achieving accreditation in the dental field is a momentous event that perhaps should be rewarded by society with instant success. This, unfortunately, is no longer the case. Be that as it may, let it suffice to say that it used to be that way, especially in the scientific professions. Today, with the increasing ease of access to top flight education in virtually any discipline, there has been a steady proliferation in the number of professionals, and more so in the dental sector. Every dentist covets financial success as well as professional success. These are inextricably inseparable and as such, if the dental professional is to achieve success in both, they must be willing to follow a number of guidelines. The first and perhaps most important is to disassociate the dental profession with the notion of entitlement to some form of job security. This will open their mind to the variable dynamics that affect their profession as well as any other business in the neighborhood. The second thing the dental professional must do is determine to pursue their profession with the same precise and structured manner in which a business owner would their business....more
