Hopefully, you have a family dentist that you see regularly for dental checkups. You should also have a Charlotte pediatric dentist to care for the littlest smiles in your house. As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Mujica completed four years of schooling at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine as well as the Pediatric Dental Residency program at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry. She received a Certificate of Residency in Pediatric Dentistry along with a Master of Science degree in Dentistry, and is now a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the North Carolina Academy of Pediatric Dentists.
Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?
The difference between a general dentist and a pediatric dentist is usually noticeable the moment you walk in the door. Our office is filled with décor and amenities that are intended to make children feel welcome and relaxed. But of course the advantages go much further than just what meets the eye. Dr. Mujica and her team of dental hygienists and dental assistants have received special training to treat child of all ages appropriately. Whether your child is barely walking or is almost ready to borrow the car keys, he or she will feel completely comfortable with our care. Even children who are anxious or fearful of seeing the dentist are put at ease. And if you child has significant dental concerns, then Dr. Mujica’s additional training in pediatric dentistry is especially important.
Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry and the Special Needs Child
In addition to her education and training in pediatric dentistry, Charlotte dentist Dr. Mujica has the heart for treating children with special needs. All of the protocols that apply to typically developing children also apply to special needs children. We can create a treatment plan that includes consideration of issues with strength, mobility, motor coordination and cognition. And with the approval of your child’s primary care physician, we can use one of three kinds of sedation dentistry—nitrous oxide, conscious oral sedation and IV sedation—to help allay a child’s fears.
Educating You and Your Child
Dr. Mujica and her team genuinely love spending time with you and your child. We also value the opportunity this gives us to help you take better care of your children’s teeth and to instruct kids on how best to brush and floss. We know that if good oral health care habits start at a young age then they are more likely to stick for long into the future.
