What’s the difference between a family dentist and a pediatric dentist?
While both care for teeth, a pediatric dentist completes additional years of specialized training focused entirely on children’s oral health. After dental school, pediatric dentists go through advanced education in areas like child development, behavior management, dental anxiety, growth and development, and treating dental conditions specific to children.
Dr. Ashley knew early on she wanted to become a pediatric dentist not only because she loves working with children, but because she wanted the opportunity to help shape their outlook on dentistry for life. By creating positive experiences from a young age, children can grow up feeling more comfortable and confident about visiting the dentist.
At Hartland Pediatric Dentistry, we’ve built a welcoming, family-focused space where dental visits are easy and fun. Today, our practice is all about delivering high-quality, approachable care tailored specifically to children. We focus on patience, clear communication, and making sure every child feels safe and comfortable in the chair.
