Here at the office of Dr. Myriam Cerezo, we are proud to specialize in pediatric dentistry. We truly believe in starting children off right when it comes to their dental health. It is our goal to ensure that each visit goes well so that they think of the dentist's office as a good place. Our entire staff is wonderful with children, allowing them to relax while we care for their teeth.
Dr. Myriam Cerezo attended the University of Puerto Rico School of Dental Medicine in San Juan, Puerto Rico. After dental school, she completed a 2 year pediatric dental residency at the Children's Hospital of Dayton, Ohio. Upon completing her residency, she moved to the Philadelphia area and opened her practice in Bensalem, PA in 1990.
Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
The pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school, and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. The very young, pre-teens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems.
Toothache: Clean the area of the affected tooth. Rinse the mouth thoroughly with warm water or use dental floss to dislodge any food that may be impacted. If the pain still exists, contact your child's dentist. Do not place aspirin or heat on the gum or on the aching tooth. If the face is swollen, apply cold compresses and contact your dentist immediately.

Dr. Cerezo and her staff take excellent care of our children. Two of our kids recently needed to have cavities filled. The process and experience was handled professionally and smoothly. Both of them were nervous and Dr. Cerezo talked them through the experiences and made them comfortable enough to smile through it. The kids felt no pain and thanked her when it was over. I’d recommend Dr. Cerezo’s care to anyone with children.

Dr Cerezo was great but I'm sad to say because of the their hours we won't be going back. I called to make an appt for my 2 year old and I need late appointments for her cause I work. I was told they don't take the kids 6 and under after 1pm because in the afternoons they don't behave as well . I told them that it's an inconvenience for working parents to not take them in the afternoons or evenings. They said sorry that's just the rikes
So needless to say, we found a new dentist and they take kids all ages any hour of the day.
I saw your response saying "first

First time patient....staff was very knowledgeable and efficient making sure all my sons paperwork transferred from his old dentist. They even took notes on his anxiety and his hearing/auditory problems. I was so excited....until we walked through the door. I made a comment to the front desk that son was very nervous. A woman behind the counter started loudly saying "you're afraid...you're afraid of a cleaning". She didn't stop until I looked at her and said "everyone is different". She made me as well as my son very uncomfortable. I looked at the receptionist

Dr. Cerezo along with her staff are very nice and patient. She came highly recommended in my search for a dentist for special needs children. My son who has autism had hard time visiting dentist. My son now is able to sit still and allow Dr. Cerezo and her staff do what they have to. Our experience has been nothing but great. Thank you Dr. Cerezo and wonderful staff!! Definitely will recommend her!!

I've been taking my youngest child to Dr. Cerezo for 2-1/2 years and have never been disappointed. She treats him as if he were her own. Her friendly staff is very professional and accommodating. The facility always appears cleanly and the waiting area is comfortable. We always leave with a bright, healthy smile.

First I would like to start out by saying that Dr. Cerezo is not only a great Pediatric Dentist but also has a very warm heart and just absolutely loves children. Every parent knows that it is very hard to find a trustworthy dentist for their children. Iv'e known her for many years now since my oldest is 14 and the other two are 10 and 8. They wouldn't go anywhere else. They have been going to her since they were 2yrs. old. We travel about an hour still for all their dental needs since we moved 8yrs. ago. She is the only dentist I truly would ever trust to see my children.

We've been going to Dr. Cerezo's office for 2 years now and I cannot say enough about the doctor and her staff. It is a small office, but it is perfectly equipped and very comfortable. They are very accommodating to our kids and know how to handle their nervousness. My daughter is really scared of any kind of pain and they used sedation to keep her calm for fillings. I don't think we could've gotten through it otherwise and she was still nervous even with that, but they talked her though it and made sure she got prizes for toughing it out. She was far less apprehensive
