Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric Dentistry is an age-defined specialty that provides primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through adolescence. We are one of the few offices in Seattle that treat all age groups. Dr. Klass has had a special interest in these age groups since the beginning of his training when, at the University of Iowa, he was Project Director for The American Society of Dentistry for Children. He has also served as King County Dental Society Chairman for the National Children’s Dental Health Month. Kalman continues his work with children finding time to volunteer for a free children’s dental clinic in Jerusalem and for the WDS Foundation Smilemobile, a free mobile dental clinic for children in Washington State.
Dr. Klass encourages parents and other care providers to help every child establish dental care by 12 months of age. The oral exam at this early age is usually accomplished with the parent present in the office. It is most often only a visual exam while the child is sitting in the parent’s lap. This way Dr. Klass can evaluate the child’s oral and dental development. He will also discuss the importance of oral hygiene and the effects of diet on the dentition.
