A pediatric dentist is a specialist with extra post-graduate training. Dr. Brad Beasley isn't a pediatric dentist, but is a general dentist who loves to treat children.
Many families like to be able to all go to the same dentist. That way they get to know the dentist better and feel more comfortable talking about their children's dental problems.
At Beasley Dentistry, we try to make your child's dental visits fun. We strongly recommend that you schedule routine visits when your child is quite young, so they do not associate our office with the pain and anxiety of a dental emergency.
There are pediatric dentist specialists with special training in complex issues relating to the dental care of children. For cases that require a specialist's attention, Dr. Beasley will refer your child to a pediatric dentist specialist. But for ordinary preventive and restorative care, we feel very comfortable seeing your children here.
