Children’s Dental Centre has been in York County for almost 13 years in our current location. Our goal and mission is to meet the dental needs of every child who comes into our practice; and to educate them, and their parents or caregivers, so that they can take responsibility for, and be successful in their own dental health.
Children are different physically and mentally than adults. No surprise there! Their bodies respond differently than adults. A pediatric dentist knows these differences and can accurately assess and treat your child.
Those of us who are grown up still react with wonder when the kids cheer when we tell them they are going to the dentist. For most of us that was not our experience! Kids in our office are treated to sunglasses while in the chair, to keep the 'sunshine' out of their eyes, video games and make-believe toys in the reception rooms, and prizes at the end of their visit for being good helpers! It is our determined goal to make their visits as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
One girl was quoted as saying, “I like coming to see Dr. Dave, and Dr. Angie because they make me feel like I’m their favorite patient, even though I know they see lots of other kids.” And we love seeing them, too!
Recently, we have expanded to an adjacent office space and welcomed the addition of another pediatric specialist. We now have one office suite for preventive services and another for restorative dentistry and oral surgery.
This has allowed us to begin accepting new patients once again, and we are very happy to do so.
