What is Pediatric Dentistry?
Understanding Specialized Dental Care for Children
Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dental care focused on the oral health of infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special needs. Pediatric dentists undergo additional training beyond dental school to understand the unique dental developmental stages children experience and to manage the emotional and physical needs of younger patients.
At Fortson Dentistry in Lathrup Village, MI, our pediatric dentistry services are designed to create positive dental experiences from an early age. We provide preventive care, diagnostic evaluations, early orthodontic assessments, and treatment for dental issues in a comfortable, friendly environment tailored for children.

Why Do I Need Pediatric Dentistry?
Protecting Your Child’s Growing Smile
Children’s teeth and oral structures develop rapidly, and early dental care is critical for ensuring a healthy foundation for their future smile. Pediatric dentistry addresses not just the immediate needs like cavities or toothaches but also focuses on guiding proper oral hygiene habits that children will carry into adulthood.
By bringing your child to a pediatric dentist, you ensure that they receive specialized care that’s preventive and proactive. At Fortson Dentistry, we educate parents and children about good dental habits, monitor growth and development, and intervene early when necessary to prevent more serious dental problems later.
