We are pleased to offer a
fun facility with experienced doctors and a trained staff to
provide care to our patients. Our staff obtains the cooperation of our
child and adolescent patients by use of warmth, friendliness, humor, charm,
gentleness, kindness and understanding. There are several behavior management
techniques used during a visit with a patient. These include:
-
Tell-show-do
-
Modeling from other patients
-
Positive reinforcement
-
Distraction-music
-
Helpful tools (mouth pillows and
rubber raincoats)
-
Toys, Etch-a-Sketch, kids magazines.
During our new patient visit,
we will explore options that are best for your child.
Treatment
With Sedation
Many children are calm, comfortable
and confident in a pediatric dental office. Because pediatric dentists
specialize in treating children, they make children feel special. The office
is especially designed for children. Our staff members choose to work in
a pediatric dental office because they enjoy kids.
Sometimes, however, a child
feels anxious during treatment. Your child may need more support than a
gentle, caring manner to feel comfortable. Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a safe,
effective technique to calm a child's fear of the dental visit.
Our office offers several agents
used in conscious sedation. During your new patient visit, we will explore
sedation options based on your child's age, level of anxiety, amount of
dental work, and length of the appointment.

Our doctors each spend one
day a week at Wake Med North, an outpatient facility close to the office.
