Education and Training
Dr. Jennifer delights in providing dental care for
children. Following four years of college and four years of dental
school, Dr. Jennifer spent an additional two years completing a
residency in pediatric dentistry. This extensive specialty training
encompasses growth and development, child psychology, treatment
of traumatic injuries, sedation, care of the handicapped and training
in those specialized procedures unique to young children and teens.
Environment
Our patients and their families are provided with
a warm, caring, cheerful environment. The physical arrangement of
our office is especially child-oriented. It’s a place where
learning toys, video games, books, television and electronic toys
help make your child’s visit an exciting experience. Our desire
is to help your child build and maintain a positive attitude toward
dental care.
Prevention
We emphasize preventing dental problems. Plastic
sealants, which act as shields on permanent teeth, do an excellent
job of sealing out decay. At each check-up, we determine the appropriateness
of sealants for your child, and if already placed, we check the
integrity of each sealant and repair or replace it if needed free
of charge. Tooth strengthening fluoride is utilized and is regulated
to the optimum level for your child.
Orthodontics Growth and Development
We intercept many developing orthodontic problems
by carefully monitoring your child’s growth and development
at each check-up. When warranted, a consultation with an orthodontist
may be recommended. Early intervention can prevent a more serious
orthodontic problem from arising.
Staff
Our clinical staff is caring and talented. They truly enjoy
treating children. The staff regularly participates in continuing
education programs. This keeps them especially current in the latest
findings, innovations and treatment in dental care for young people.
Materials, Procedures
We utilize the highest quality and most advanced
materials available for children’s dental care. Our x-ray
techniques and procedures are all designed to minimize exposure.
Lead aprons and ultra-high speed film are routinely used.
Sterilization
We adhere to the highest standards and methods of sterilization
procedures. This is for the protection of your child’s and
our staff’s health. We would be delighted to give you a tour
of our sterilization station. Additionally, for your peace of mind,
Dr. Jennifer tested negatively for the HIV (AIDs) virus.
Emergency Care
We pride ourselves on being available 7 days a week, 24
hours a day for emergency phone calls.
Reception Staff
We delight in the helping, caring attitude of our reception staff.
They are most happy to aid you in any way possible.
