Pediatric dentists are specialists equivalent to the pediatricians of dentistry. We must complete a minimum of two years of advanced training beyond the general dentist degree in order to be licensed to treat children exclusively.
Dr. Tracht also has advanced training in interceptive or 'early treatment' orthodontics. He is recognized for his success in identifying and correcting teeth and jaw problems early (usually between the ages of 4-9 years) and guiding facial and tooth development.Dr.Tracht is a volunteer member of the Cleft Lip and Palate Team at theBeaumont Medical Center.
Very happy with this dental office. We've been going here since 2010 when my 2 year old son needed to be seen ASAP. Both of my boys can't wait to get their teeth cleaned and have a very positive perception of going to the dentist. Great, friendly staff.
I had an amazing time taking my 5 years old son to the dentist. All the staff were awesome and welcoming. She started thecleaning by explaining every step to my son. He even did the x-rays successfully. Again it is a relaxing visit for my son and me as well.
Braces in Rochester Hills, MI Braces place a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, and are designed to slowly move teeth through their supporting bone to a new desirable position. Braces can either be removable (invisible aligners) or fixed (brackets bonded on teeth).
Generally, those who wear braces need to practice good oral hygiene in much the same way as those who don't. Of course, wearing braces creates unique problems. For example, avoid hard and sticky foods. Don't chew on pens, pencils or fingernails because chewing on hard things can damage the braces, almost ensuring longer-than-needed treatment times and cost.
After application of braces, your orthodontist will show you how best to care for your teeth, gums and braces. This includes tips on how often to brush, how often to floss, and, if necessary, other cleaning aids that might help you maintain good dental health.
Overall, orthodontic discomfort is short-lived and easily managed. Most people have some discomfort after their braces are first put on or when adjusted during treatment. After the braces are on, teeth may become sore and may be tender to biting pressures for three to five days. The lips, cheeks and tongue may also become irritated for one to two weeks as they toughen and become accustomed to the surface of the braces. Patients can manage this discomfort with common over the counter pain relievers.
Those who wear braces and play any contact sports should always wear a protective mouth guard. Playing wind or brass instruments, such as the trumpet, will clearly require some adaptation to braces. With practice and a period of adjustment, braces typically do not interfere with the playing of musical instruments.
Retainers are needed after orthodontic treatment and removal of braces because the teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.

I highly recommend this pediatric dentistry. My daughter was nervous for her first appointment but the entire staff and Dr. Goldberg were so kind, gentle and so patient that my daughter left with the biggest smile on her face and can't wait to go back. Thank you to the entire staff. Amazing experience all around.

My 7yo son had his first cavity filling apt today. He was so nervous he was crying as he sat in the chair. But I can't stress enough how impressed I was with the care and service we received today from Michelle and Dr. Alli! They were sooo kind, patient and reassuring with him. They comforted him endearingly and made sure to walk him through the entire process using terms that made sense, but that also made the entire thing seem less frightening. As a mother, that kind of treatment is priceless! So very thankful. You all are definitely angels in the field.

My family is beyond grateful to have found this dentistry. I have two special needs children and they have taken extra special care of them. My 10 year old daughter loves the attention and the instructions that are given to her. She is the only child in my household who doesn't have special needs. All three of my children love the hygienist and doctors. Thank you so much for making my babies smile.
