Jeanette is a Registered Dental Hygienist, with degrees from Lane Community College and the University of San Martin de Porres, in Lima, Peru, where she was born and raised before moving to Eugene to join family. Jeanette loves working with kids with diverse backgrounds, and facing the challenges each patient presents.
Our office (as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry) recommends that your child 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 his staff will explain all procedures and answer all questions.
When should my child see a dentist for the 1st time? Children should be seen by the dentist by their first birthday (sooner if you have concerns regarding their oral health). How do I prevent "bottle rot?" When children frequently drink (or eat) foods that contain sugars, fast spreading cavities can result.

We've had a great experience at Dr. Stapleton's office. With 2 kids and being new in town we've had to see them a few times in the past 6 weeks. The availability of appointments has been very reasonable and the staff has all been sweet with the kids. Dr. Stapleton even called me before an appointment to explain the procedure and answer any questions. Would definitely recommend him and this office in general.

Dr. Mark and his assistants were amazing with my little guy. His office staff were rude and condescending on the phone. I work in the healthcare field and that is not how you should talk to your customer/patients. Unfortunately I will have to look for a new dentist for my little guy. Completely disappointed with the lack of customer service from Theresa.

As my daughter lost her teeth, I asked Dr. Stapleton to pull out a companion tooth because it was taking a longer time to fall out. He refused and said that 'these things take care of themselves'. Eight or so months later, my daughter complained of a tooth ache. The xray showed the tooth he wouldn't pull out had blocked the tooth that would have taken its place and it had moved sideways, killing the nerve of the tooth next to it (that was the cause of the tooth ache). As a result, my daughter had to have the blocked tooth exposed, bracketed, and pulled down into its proper position. She will lose

These guys are incredible!!! All the technicians are so fun and make my kids LOVE coming to the dentist. We've had multiple tooth related injuries and they've always been amazing about getting usnin right away, explaining things thoroughly, and giving us options. I give Dr Mark and all the technicians my highest rating!

Mr. Mark was the second dentist I took my daughter to after being referred to a ped dentist by a family practice dentist. He has excellent bedside manner. Him and his staff were excellent with my 3 y/o. He also took the time to answer all my questions and address all my concerns honestly And provided me with all our choices providing risks and benefits of all the choices. He is willing to do a minimal intervention approach per my preferred. The scheduling was easy and they were able to get me in at a later appt. When that became available per my preference. When the previous dentist saw the cavity

Dr. Mark is friendly, knowledgeable, and open, and he connects we'll with both kids and parents. The whole office is set up to really welcome and encourage kids, and the staff is awesome. My 4 year old loves going to the dentist... she literally cheers! Just took my one year old for the first time yesterday, and was glad to talk with a staff that specializes in kids' dental issues. I recommend Dr. Mark's office to everyone.

My son has been seeing Dr. Stapleton since he was almost 2. The office is very welcoming as is the staff. The hygienists are amazing and gentle and Dr. Stapleton gives very good information for long term or short term dental care. My son loves coming here and never gets nervous or scared coming to his appointments.

Dr. Stapleton and his staff are excellent. I highly recommend them! He listened to my concerns and answered all of our questions kindly. He understands kids who might have some anxiety and is very kind and gentle. He cares about kids and offers white fillings at the same price as mercury fillings. This was enough for me to believe that he is a really caring dentist! The only thing I would change is to make him less popular so we could get in to see him more easily! :-)
