We have a passion for healthcare and dentistry, and we especially care about kids and those with special needs. We are here for patients and their parents, and we strive to help create a world where comfort, quality care, and wellbeing comprise the three pillars of patient advocacy. We want every patient to be a super-satisfied patient.
We do things a bit differently, and that's the way we like it! We know that providing the highest quality care doesnt mean it has to be boring or scary. We believe a visit to the dentist can be fun for kids and relaxing for parents, and we strive to make sure that every patient and parent leave our office smiling.
We know that for many children, a dentist office can sound like a scary place. At Pediatric Dental Care, we keep it friendly and fun for all kidsand their parents. Our office is well-equipped with TVsincluding Apple TVs (to select the latest movies), computers, digital photography, books, toys, and even a Playstation gaming console.
We maintain a healthy atmosphere by sterilizing our instruments using autoclave, a sterilization system that uses heat, pressure, and steam. Our autoclave is tested weekly for proper sterilization cycles. Barrier controls recommended by OSHA are implemented for use with every patient. Theseinclude: gloves, masks, eyewear, and plastic barriers that are applied to all surfaces that may be touched and cannot be sterilized. Disposable items are used when necessary and discarded after a single use. Disinfectants are used on countertops, chairs, and other hard surfaces. Handpieces (Power toothbrushes and drills) are sterilized after each use. A hazardous waste company removes all biohazard waste from our office. In addition, we use distilled water for all of our equipments including handpieces and water syringes.
