Although our practice consists primarily of healthy pediatric dental patients, we take great pride in being able to treat medically and behaviorally challenged pediatric patients that most other practices are unable or unwilling to take care of. My special area of interest is in treating many of these complex patients, both in office as well as under general anesthesia, should they require it. In many cases, these patients have been unable to obtain care at multiple dental offices. The palpable relief that I see among many parents of our special needs patients when they learn that they can finally get the treatment their child deserves and needs in a manner that is caring, compassionate, and nurturing, without having to compromise on quality, makes it all worthwhile.
To quote Emerson, “To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed better, because you have lived….” That is what the profession of pediatric dentistry is all about. — Dr. Sayany
