ABOUT OUR PRACTICE
At Tustin Pediatric Dentistry we have three Board Certified pediatric dentists. Board Certification means that they have undergone a significant amount of specialized training to gain this prestigious title. Our patients know that we are dedicated to providing excellence of care in a safe, gentle and caring environment.
Our “Group Practice” Method
One of the ways that we are a unique dental practice is that we have developed a “Group Practice Environment.” In other words, your child can be seen by any of our three dentists as one becomes available. That means A LOT less time spent in the waiting room. Of course, if your child feels more comfortable seeing a particular doctor we are happy to accommodate. We find that this system provides a constant review of every patient and every procedure including doctors assessing the timing of treatment and referrals. It is in this way we maintain conservative care in treatment planning and thoroughly educate families to prevent dental problems.
Our Drug-Free Dental Care Philosophy
At Tustin Pediatric Dentistry we are committed to a philosophy of treating your children without using drugs to manage their behavior. Instead, we provide a safe, loving environment where your kids naturally feel calmer. We do use local anesthetics for pain control. This is designed to provide as safe an environment as possible for children’s dental care. Our approach is non pharmacological behavior management and has been utilized in this office for over 30 years. On occasion, there are situations in which a child might be safer if he or she were in a hospital or were asleep for dental care. We take very seriously the responsibility to find the best approach for your child and to create an environment in which they can become an excellent dental patient for a lifetime.
Best Care Anywhere!
Tustin Pediatric Dentistry is the ONLY pediatric dental office in Southern California with THREE Board Certified pediatric dentists. This certification doesn’t come easy! It means that our doctors not only completed their 4 year dental education and an extensive 2 year specialty program. They also fulfilled rigorous qualifications and examinations necessary to gain “Diplomate” status and membership in the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
The Age Range of Our Patients
We see young people from the “cradle through college.” Both the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that a child’s first dental examination occur by age one. Our patients tend to stay with us all the way through college. Families like the continuity of care we offer. The simple fact is that we love watching your kids grow as much as you do. That’s why some of our newest patients are the children of some of our oldest patients!
