Our pediatric dentists and team work with both the patient and the primary caregiver to create an individualized treatment plan based on the patient’s needs and his or her ability to tolerate treatment. We take the time to explain procedures, address the concerns of both the patient and the primary caregiver, and make sure that the patient feels comfortable. We will happily modify treatments to accommodate specific situations and needs.
