Our office, as well as the The American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American
Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental
Home" for your child by one year of age. Children who have a
dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine
oral health care.
The
Dental Home is intended to provide a place
other than the
Emergency Room for parents.
As soon as
you enter our office, you will notice that dentistry for children has
changed in many ways. Start your visit by registering at the appropriate
pediatric or orthodontic area. You are on your way to a great first
experience. Our open reception area is a welcoming room filled with
activities, videos and electronic games to engage and relax your child. Our
world class pediatric dental and orthodontic office is designed uniquely for
children and their parents.
From
the very first dental visit at their first birthday, we treat every
child in our practice as if they are our own. You’ll definitely see “big
kids” in our office too, because most of our patients stay with us
through college age!
What
about parents present in the dental treatment areas? Our practice
philosophy is child-centered. We want you to be with your child during
their visits with us. In fact, we insist on your presence because we
want you to be by their side while they and you learn how to care for
their smile. We welcome you in the dental treatment rooms and we
encourage your participation throughout your child’s care. Let us know
how we’re doing, so we can give you and your child the care you expect
and deserve. And thank you for referring your family and friends to us.
From all of us, welcome!
We strive to make each and every visit to
our office a fun one!
