Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?

Dr. Stephanie is a pediatric dentist. She specializes in treating and preventing dental disease, as well as the overall oral health of children. Through extra years of schooling, training, experience, and certification, a pediatric dentist is uniquely qualified to treat the dental needs of infants, children, adolescents, and those with special healthcare needs.

Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?

A pediatric patient not only has a different dentition than adults but may have specific dental and behavioral needs unique to a child. These needs may include orthodontics, dental sealants, fluoride applications or home treatments, or simply oral hygiene education. In addition to treating existing dental problems, our office focuses on prevention through patient and parent education.

We like to feel that you and your child do not come to our office to have their ”cavities fixed” but rather to prevent them. Our mission is to provide all the educational tools necessary for our patients to enjoy a cavity-free future.

What is a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist?

When a Pediatric Dentist is Board Certified, the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry or ABPD certifies that the dental care being provided is based on standards of excellence that lead to high-quality oral health care for infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special health care needs. Certification by the ABPD assures the public that a Pediatric Dentist like Dr. Stephanie has completed accredited training and a voluntary examination process designed to continually validate the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to deliver quality patient care.
