A parent with young children should consider having their children see a pediatric dentist. Unlike dentists that specialize in only treating adults, a pediatric dentist continues their training to include pediatric dentistry. Dr. Michael S. Anglin is just such a dentist. After getting his Bachelor of Science, he went on to get his Doctorate of dental surgery. When he realized that he had a passion for helping younger children to maintain their excellent oral health, he went on to get specialty training as a pediatric dentist at the Medical University of South Carolina. This is the kind of dentist that you want taking care of your children’s dental health.
It isn’t unusual that children get stained or chipped teeth. To improve their smile permanently, this dentist will recommend that they have Lumineers® bonded to their chipped or stained teeth. Dental Lumineers in Birmingham Alabama are the upgrade from the porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are still being still used to aid adult patients, but Lumineers® are so good that they have lasted through a patients adult life when they were applied when that patient was still a child.
The Dental Lumineers in Birmingham Alabama, are a tooth colored material that is permanently bonded to your child’s teeth and will conceal chips, discoloration and stains.
