Pediatric Dentists such as Dr. Cyrus have specialty training and experience to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood. Just like we go to specialists depending on what medical issue we are having, our kids should go to a dentist that is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teen years. Pediatric dentists have extensively studied child psychology, nutrition, behavior management as well as the unique clinical aspects of dealing with baby teeth. This is especially important as children are often not as patient or cooperative during a dental procedure for understandable reasons. Dr. Cyrus is dedicated to providing his patients with the comprehensive dental care they need while absolutely minimizing the possibility for traumatic experiences. Pediatric dentists have the ability to examine and treat children in ways that make them (and their parents) more comfortable. If patients have severe childhood decay and/or extremely high levels of anxiety Dr. Cyrus is able to provide sedation services at Baystate Medical Center to allow children to be treated without any negative emotional experiences during treatment.
