Pediatric Dentistry

Clubhouse Pediatric Dentistry is here to provide the highest-quality dental care for children in a relaxed and calming environment. Our goal is for every child, parent, and guardian to feel at ease with us. That is why we offer pediatric dentistry in Rexburg, Idaho Falls, and Jackson Hole.

What is the Difference Between a Family Dentist and a Pediatric Dentist?

First, a general dentist (often called a family dentist) treats patients of all ages. Graduation from a four-year accredited dental school is required to become a general dentist in the U.S. Some general dentists advertise that they are a child-only office, but they do not have the additional training that sets pediatric dentists apart. However, when selecting a pediatric dentist in Rexburg, Idaho Falls, or Jackson Hole, look for the word “pediatric” in the title or call their office and ask if the dental provider is a “licensed pediatric dentist.”

Caring for Children

Next, a pediatric dentist specializes in caring for infants, children, and adolescents – much like a pediatrician compared to a family physician. Furthermore, pediatric dentists complete 2 (or more) years of additional training in a pediatric residency program in addition to their 4-year dental school training. Plus, a pediatric dental residency focuses on the psychological, developmental, emotional, social, and physical needs of infants, children, and adolescents (including individuals of any age with special healthcare needs) regarding their oral health.

What Does it Mean

To be a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist?

Dr. Courtney Matthew Jackson completed dental school and a pediatric dental residency, then pursued board certification. This additional examination process evaluates a pediatric dentist’s knowledge and clinical judgment. His training helps him plan care around each child’s needs and explain treatment options to families.

What You Can Expect

Dr. Jackson’s training helps him understand, diagnose, and treat young patients according to their individual needs. From a baby’s first teeth to anxiety in older children, he takes the time to explain what is happening and how the team can help.

About Our Practice

Clubhouse Pediatric Dentistry offers a reassuring atmosphere of acceptance and understanding. Children are still learning, and it’s okay if they want to talk, laugh, or cry. From calming colors, games, and prizes to smaller equipment and kid-friendly terminology, we strive to promote understanding between child, parent, and doctor.
