Why a Pediatric Dentist? Do you love going to the dentist? Your children will! A Pediatric Dentist is trained specifically on how to help your child: love going to the dentist, and in preventing and repairing dental damage already done. At Idaho Pediatric Dentistry we use a gentle touch and a positive atmosphere to making dental visits fun.
How should my child brush? As you know, a child's hand dexterity and mouth are different than their parents. It is important to make sure that your child is using the right toothbrush for them. In both cases, adults and kids should use a soft, rounded bristle toothbrush, with gentle cleaning. What about my infant?
Oral habits such as thumb/finger sucking are habits that can occur early in life. The good news is that most kids give up this habit by age four. If your child continues beyond this age, don't get discouraged, it can still discontinue on its own. Of course there can be oral/dental consequences with continued sucking habits in the form of malformed or crooked teeth and palate but don't be dismayed, all these malformations can be corrected with time.The duration, frequency, and intensity seem to be the most important factors in determining the extent of malformation of the teeth and mouth bones.
When should my child's tooth begin to erupt? The average age of first tooth eruption in infants is around 6-8 months. The two lower front teeth are the most common teeth to erupt first. About every 6 months another set of four teeth usually erupt finishing by age 3 in most kids with 20 teeth. The most common tooth eruption sequence in kids is: the lower front teeth, followed by the upper front teeth, followed by the first molars, then the canines, and then the second molars.Why do we care about baby teeth?

Having a hard time getting ahold of a copy of my invoice to submit to my flex spending account. Going almost a full year. We have called left multiple message and no luck. Maybe they don't want to get pay. but doubt it and will probably ended up in collections due to the staff at this location. Don't go here, I'm pulling out my kids and taking them else where.
A place where I'll can get help with customer support. Where I don't have to worry about trying to get my invoice with the correct information. From the reviews I'm not the only with this issue either.

I love this place, Dr Loveland is so kind, caring, friendly, fun, and patient he was able to do the work other dentists had said not possible, I wanted my kid to have the treatment merced i'm different appointments instead of fully sedation and Dr Loveland was able to do it in separate appointments and my son did just fine. I was able to not feel anxious, not feel pressure and more confident and relaxed here at his office. Also he is bilingual English/Spanish and everyone is so helpful. The place is clean and nice

When my elementary-aged daughter displaced 6 of her adult teeth on a school playground structure, we were SO grateful to have Idaho Pediatric Dentistry in our corner! Her accident was both traumatic and painful for many months, but the staff at Idaho Pediatric was continually kind, patient and empathetic. She received quality, personalized care as she healed that slowly helped obliterate her dental anxiety. We love this office!
