What’s the Difference Between a Kid Dentist and a General Dentist?
People often ask what makes Great Smiles a pediatric dentistry? Here is an overview of how a children’s dentist differs from a general dentist:
Pediatric Dentists
Pediatric dentists create a child-friend environment, specializing in dental care for children from infancy through adolescence. They receive additional training in child psychology, behavior management, and growth and development of children’s teeth and jaws.
General Dentists
General dentists provide dental care for patients of all ages but do not have specialized training in child-specific dental issues. While general dentists can treat children, they typically do not have a child-centered approach or as kid-friendly of an environment as a pediatric dentist.
Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics FAQs
Below are some common questions we hear in our Sylva office.
Why should I see a dentist near me?
Dental care is important and for most people, choosing an office nearby will help ensure that they actually go to their appointment.
Therefore, if you go to a “pediatric dentist near me” you’ll find it is more convenient for you.
Does my child need to see a dentist?
Research and studies show that a dental visit should occur before a child is twelve months old. As early dental visit has been shown to reduce long term dental costs and improve quality of life. We have a useful page that describes the benefits of seeing a children’s dentist.
Can I go to any Great Smiles office?
Of course! Visit whichever office works for you and your family. We have 5 children’s dentistry and orthodontist locations throughout western NC, so we likely have an office nearby that meets your needs.

What is a pediatric dentist?
A kids dental professional specializes in providing oral health care to infants, children, adolescents, as well as individuals with special needs. Pediatric dentists undergo additional training and education beyond general dentistry to address the unique dental needs of kids.
I’m an adult. Can I still get braces?
Absolutely! Anyone at any age can benefit from orthodontic treatments whether retainers, wire braces, or clear braces like Invisalign. Treatment can address pain and discomfort such as TMJ problems, as well as enhancing oral cleanliness and misalignment.
What are my orthodontic treatment options?
Clear aligners like Invisalign, ceramic braces, retainers, and wired metal braces for kids, teens, and adults are available as treatment choices. Please be advised that only a qualified orthodontist may assess and suggest any of these orthodontic treatment choices.
What are typical dentist costs?
Typical dentist costs depend on the type of treatment and your location. Basic services like cleanings and exams are generally affordable, while more complex procedures such as fillings, crowns, or root canals can be more costly. Having dental insurance can help lower these expenses.
Can my dentist also do my braces?
A dentist lacks the specific training necessary to administer all orthodontic treatment options of wired braces, retainers, ceramic braces, and clear aligners (like Invisalign). Only an orthodontist has the proper training to offer all options that meet specific needs.

We hope to meet you soon!
