A pediatric dentist is a specialist who has two or three years of extra training after dental school, to be able to provide the most up-to-date and thorough treatment for a wide variety of childrens dental problems including nursing bottle decay, tooth decay, traumatic injuries, and growth and developmental problems. They are trained and qualified to treat special patients who may have emotional, physical or mental handicaps.
An orthodontist is a specialist who has two or three years of extra training after dental school to be able to diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities. Through this training, the orthodontist learns the skills required to manage tooth movement (orthodontics) and guide facial development (dentofacial orthopedics).
The very young, pre-teens and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development and helping them avoid future dental problems. Because the pediatric specialists and orthodontists are best qualified to meet these needs, many parents wisely choose a specialist to treat their children.
Many of our patients are healthy children whose parents want a specialist to provide them with the best possible treatment. Some of our patients are children who are afraid, or have had bad experiences with dental treatment in the past. Many of our patients are referred here from general dentists because they have special treatment needs. Some of our patients are medically compromised children who need special care.
We feel that all children are different and we treat them accordingly. Some scared children need only our doctors knowledge and a little TLC. Some other children, because of fear and anxiety, require extra help to cope with their treatment needs, so we offer Nitrous Oxide Analgesia, in-Office Conscious Sedation and general anesthesia at Robert Wood Johnson, Rugers University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ.
Our office follows and often exceeds infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We understand that it may take a little longer to implement all the infection control processes that will keep you and our staff safe.

It was my daughters first visit and everyone made her very comfortable and at ease. The dentist was very gentle and explained everything to her before and as she was doing it. All of the office staff were very friendly, warm and welcoming during our experience with them from making the apointment until the visit was complete. And she was super happy with her stickers at the end!

As a mom of a just diagnosed autism/non verbal kid , is really hard to look for any medical help/office period. Just changed primary's and the fear of looking into dental has been hard. I made the appointment with comprehensive . I live just around the corner ,and on top of that i have to pay out of pocket! ( My insurance doesn't help much ) just getting there the office staff front desk were great and fast , i was in less than 15 minutes . The assistant was very comforting ( to my child) and then i met the dentist . Of course everyone knew what they were dealing with . The dentist heard my concerns on top that I am 37 weeks pregnant they all helped out with him knowing he is non verbal and is not an easy task . They were all helpful , gentle and comforting even though my son still freaked out. Then they spoke to me about options , and they made a very well point across ! Is not all about the money If not helping us out! They all seemed to connect and work as a team ! For the first time ever I met a dentist who money yes is necessary but helping us ( my autistic kid) and getting that insurance coverage was number one ! & I left at peace and very happy and definitely will make them my primary! Even if it includes making many out pocket payments!

Needed somewhere closer and I had a great experience, my 3 yr old daughter left happy after she cried just a bit because it's her second time ever at a dentist but she loved her new electric tooth brush they gave her.
