Many people wonder if there’s really a difference between a general dentist and a pediatric dentist. While it’s true that both types of dentists are qualified to treat the dental needs of children, your kidtastic pediatric dentists are specially trained to treat the oral health needs of children from the time their very first baby teeth come in all the way through the teen years. Here’s a closer look at our Kidtastic office right here in Mesa.
On top of the four years of dental school, all of our Mesa dentists, Dr. Steve, Dr. Gavin and Dr. Jake, have all completed two extra years of residency training in dentistry for children. We’re also passionate about working with kids and have plenty of experience with easing the anxiety that children often have when coming in for a dental checkup. Our clean facilities are also designed with your child in mind, complete with books, toys and video games to keep them entertained while they wait.
Sedation Dentistry
Some children are a little more shy than usual about dental visits. If your child is extra anxious about seeing the dentist, Dr. Turner, the anaesthesiologist at our Mesa office is able to provide safe and effective sedation options to make the visit extra comfortable. Since it’s so important for kids to start seeing the dentist as soon as they have teeth, sedation dentistry is a safe way to make sure that even the most anxious child has a positive and productive visit.

Creating the habit of visiting the dentist regularly will help your child develop a lifetime of healthy habits, and the positive and enjoyable experience that kids have at Kidtastic makes visiting the dentist fun and easy for everyone.
