Pediatric Dentistry is dedicated to providing a
thorough dental service for the child from infancy through adolescence in a manner that is pleasant to both the child
and the parent. The education of the child to dental
procedures at an early age is a vital part of our treatment.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
recommends that preventive techniques and early
detection of problems are most important for children
between one and two years of age.

A pleasant beginning makes for a rewarding child-dentist relationship.. It is sometimes necessary
for Mom or Dad to wait outside the operatory so the doctor can establish a "one to one" rapport
with the child, especially if child is apprehensive.

Children are not born with fears; fears are learned. Children grow quickly and changes in the oral cavity occur rapidly. It is essential that examination (x-rays when needed), prophylaxis (cleaning
the teeth) and fluoride treatments be performed at six month intervals, or more frequently, if necessary. Strict adherence to this schedule is strongly advised. We are always available in the
case of an emergency. Our answering service can reach us after hours and if there is ever a problem, please do not hesitate to call. We can be reached after hours...
