Our Princeton childrens dental office was established in 2014 by Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist, Dr. Christina Ciano. She is joined by associates Dr. Geena Russo and Dr. Jammal (a.k.a Dr. Dinah) who are also Board-Certified Pediatric Dentists.
Since our patients are the most important people to walk through our doors, we strive to create a conscientious environment. We are paperless, utilize alldigital technology, and none of our products contain any well-known allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, and the like.
Every child is welcome in our office. We provide comprehensive childrens dental care ranging from cleanings to sedation dentistry. In fact, we even partner with a board-certified anesthesiologist for ultimate patient safety. We also treat children with medical and behavioral special needs.
If your child is wiggly or unable to sit still through visits at their doctor or dental office, its time to give us a call! Theres a good chance that your son or daughter wont be able to wait to see us again we make dental care that fun.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, American Dental Association, and American Board of Pediatric Dentistry all recommend that children have their first dental evaluation by age 1, or around the time that the first teeth erupt.
Early preventive care and screenings can help your family avoid the most common childhood disease: tooth decay. In fact, we feel so strongly about children seeing us by age one, that we offer screenings for free on all children under 24 months of age.
Montgomery Pediatric Dentistry sigue las recomendaciones establecidas por la Academia Estadounidense de Pediatra, la Asociacin Dental Americana y la Junta Estadounidense de Odontologa Peditrica, que coinciden en que el primer chequeo dental de un nio debe realizarse poco despus de la erupcin de sus primeros dientes, o no despus de 1 ao de edad.
Para todos los nios menores de 24 meses de edad, su primer examen de 1 ao se proporciona de forma gratuita. La consulta ayudara a su hijo a familiarizarse con nuestra acogedora oficina y permite que nuestro personal lo conozca mejor a usted y a su pequeo.
Una vez que todos se sientan cmodos, puede colocar a su hijo en sus piernas y darle un pequeo abrazo mientras nuestro dentista peditrico mira rpidamente su sonrisa. Eso es todo! Este breve examen nos permitir detectar cualquier irregularidad o inquietud, y crear el camino para otras cosas como limpiezas o radiografas en el futuro.
Early care helps your child avoid unwanted tooth pain, and consequently a fear of painful dental visits. Let our Board-Certified Pediatric Dentists help you keep your son or daughters smile healthy for life.
