Please have a list of any medications that your child takes on a daily basis and any medications that he/she has taken within the last 24 hours, (cold/cough medicine, antibiotics, etc.) If your child has a medical condition, please have the treating physicians name and contact information for us. There are certain conditions that require pre-medication for dental treatment, so this information is vital.

Your teeth are covered with a sticky film of bacteria, called plaque. Plaque bacteria use sugar and starch in food as a source of energy. The bacteria convert the sugar or starch into harmful acids that attack tooth enamel for as long as 20 minutes or more. Repeated attacks may cause the enamel to break down, resulting in cavities.
Frequent drinking of liquids other than water in the bottle or sippie cup especially when sleeping cause bottle decay. This practice exposes the teeth to decay-producing acids that can cause severe, destructive decay. Have the bottle or sippie cup at meals with the decay causing liquids. Among the decay causing liquids are milk, formula, fruit juice and other sweetened liquids.

Excellent place to take the kids for dental work. We picked Dr. Welford because he has pediatric dentistry training (something that not all dentists have). We wanted to find a dentist that specialized in children's dentistry and Pediatric Dentistry of Mobile filled the need with flying colors! The entire staff and office is geared towards kids which makes a dental visit less stressful on the child and parent too. Highly recommended.

So, I'm gong to make them fell old now. I remember when he first worked on my teeth when I was little, he was interning I guess. I had both Dr.'s hovering over me.

I have always felt comfortable with the staff and have always looked forward to going to the dentist because I have always had the best two pediatric dentists. Now, that I have a little one, they are the only ones I trust with her. I can't wait to have her see
