From their first tooth to their first day in college, board certified pediatric dentists are committed to equipping your child with excellent oral habits while providing tailored care so their smile can grow bright and strong.
Pediatric dentists undergo two additional years of specialized training after graduating dental school. In order to become board-certified, they must also pass two additional board examinations after completing their pediatric residency.
The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry also requires an annual renewal of certification to ensure pediatric dentists are providing their patients with the best care possible.
As a board certified pediatric dentist, you can trust that Dr. Tyler Mesa provides compassionate expertise to nurture your child’s developing grin.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children see a pediatric dentist by their first birthday. When your child stops by our office at a young age, they’ll quickly learn that visiting their trusted smile friends can be easy and fun! Prevention is key, and establishing a dental home by the first birthday has been proven to drastically reduce oral health issues like cavities. The sooner your child becomes acclimated with “going to the dentist”, the more likely they’ll develop positive associations with oral health habits and dental visits.
Early visits allow your child time to get to know our caring team. With each appointment, your kiddo will discover that dental visits are nothing to worry about and that their smile is in great hands.
Getting to know your child’s unique oral health needs at an early age allows us to craft the best treatment plan possible for a lifetime of thriving smiles.
By visiting Dr. Tyler Mesa by your child's first birthday, and then every six months after, our team will be able to catch issues early, before they become more complex problems.
A dental home is a practice where your child receives ongoing care from the same team as they grow from tots to teens.
