Practice Philosophy

The ultimate goal of this practice is to set the stage for good oral
health of our patients that is life long.  We endeavor to help a child
to develop good oral habits, to be comfortable in seeking continued
preventive dental care and treatment, and to value the health of their
teeth.  To achieve these goals we:

- stress the importance of prevention, both in the dental
      office and at home.  Prevention of disease is always
      preferable to treating disease after it has developed;
- stress the importance of parental involvement in the oral
      health of the child;
- do everything we can to make a child's dental visits as
      pleasant as possible;
- encourage parents to accompany their child into the
      treatment areas of our office;
- provide care in a compassionate manner that is tailored
      to the needs of the individual child;
- individually tailor our treatment approach for each child               
      based upon their level of development and the nature
      of the treatment that is necessary.

We recognize that dentistry has the potential to be very unpleasant,  
especially for a young child who does not fully comprehend the reasons for
what needs to be accomplished.  It is for that reason that we strive to
accomplish dental care for our patients in a manner that does not undermine
a child's trust.  We know that every child is not going to "love going to the
dentist", but it is our goal to create that feeling in as many of our patients as
we can.
