YOUR TIME is valuable. We make every effort to remain on schedule and, except for emergency treatment of another patient, you can expect us to be prompt. If you are unable to keep your appointment or are going to be late, please notify us as far in advance as possible. This courtesy allows us to be of service to other patients.

Your child should visit the dentist by his/her 1st birthday. You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. Your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions. The less to-do concerning the visit, the better.

In accord with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, all the doctors at Pediatric Dental Associates recognize that providing comprehensive care to individuals with special health care needs (SHCN) is an integral part of the specialty of pediatric dentistry. Our staff affiliation with Hackensack University Medical Center and close proximity to Valley Hospital in Ridgewood provides us with a strong network of medical professionals including but not limited to pediatricians, pediatric specialists (ie neurologists, cardiologists, allergists, oncologists), psychological/psychiatric providers, as well as ancillary providers such as physical, occupational, feeding, and speech and language pathologists.
