Office Information

Here at East Brunswick Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to specialize in pediatric dentistry. We truly believe in starting children off right when it comes to their dental health. It is our goal to ensure that each visit goes well so that they think of the dentist’s office as a good place. Our entire staff is wonderful with children, allowing them to relax while we care for their teeth.

Our dentists and staff have received extensive training in Pediatric Dentistry. Our goal is to protect your children’s teeth so they can eat and speak correctly, and feel good about their smiles. Our dentists and staff will do whatever we can to help your child have a positive experience at our dental office leading to a life time of great oral health and self confidence.

We are also here for you, the parents. We know how important (yet difficult) it is to take care of your children’s teeth at home. During your appointment, we will go over the care that you need to be providing at home and look for changes that can be made to improve the experience as well. If needed, we will work with your child’s pediatrician.

If you have any questions or would like your children to be seen, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (732) 238-5100.

First Visit

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 for unexpected dental and oral needs.

We strive to make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. If old enough, your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions. The less prep before the visit, the better.

It is best if you refrain from using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as “needle”, “shot”, “pull”, “drill” or “hurt”. The office makes a practice of using words that convey the same message, but are pleasant and non-frightening to your child.

During your child’s first visit, we record medical and dental history. We then will review the importance of maintaining good dental health. A full examination and a cleaning is usually completed. All questions and concerns are discussed.

We strive to make each and every visit to our office a fun one!
