Pediatric dentistry is a field of dentistry relating to oral care in children from infancy through adolescence. This area of dentistry encompasses all aspects of oral care for children, including those with special needs. At the age of 18, a child will transition from a pediatric dentist to a family practice dentist. At Palisades Dental Care, they will not have to leave the practice. We offer dental care for all ages.
