Services
Some children are given nitrous oxide/oxygen, or what you may know as laughing gas, to relax them for their dental treatment. Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a blend of two gases, oxygen and nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide/oxygen is given through a small breathing mask which is placed over the child's nose, allowing them to relax, but without putting them to sleep.
The office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience and when time is available. Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they are fresher, and we can work more slowly with them for their comfort. School children with a lot of work to be done should be seen in the morning for the same reason.
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.
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.

Wonderful place to take children no matter what age. They make the children very comfortable to wear the parents don't even need to come back with them and make it less scary for them. My children have been coming here since they were old enough to go to the dentist and they're almost eight and nine now. Dr Steinmetz is wonderful as well as the staff

Very bad customer service. Need to change an appointment they make you wait for another month and half. Ask for record and they just hand them to you, without having you sign a medical release. Very poor management at the office kept saying parent was irate when parent was just trying to explain, what they needed and asked why it would take so long to get an established patient in. Then when parent informed them of HIPAA which is a law that they need a release for medical records looked at parents like they had no clue what the parent was talking about. I work in the medical field all medical offices
