Care for dental injuries (e.g., fractured or knocked-out teeth)
For instance, during infancy, your pediatric dentist may focus on prevention and education. During adolescence ! when appearance and self-image often take center stage ! the emphasis may shift to restoring/correcting teeth and teaching preventive dental health care, which includes information on sealants, oral piercing, tobacco/drug use, and cosmetic and/or restorative options such as tooth bleaching, veneers for teeth and crowns. Dr. Paquin can work with pediatricians, other physicians and other dental specialists to ensure that your child is best served through a comprehensive team approach
