Affiliated Childrens Dental Specialists

Pediatric dentists and their staffs have special training in using a variety of nonpharmacologic (no medication) approaches to help your child have a positive dental experience. For example, we will use positive reinforcement to help guide your child's behavior with verbal praise and rewards for being a good helper.

The first step begins at home, with you. We would like to offer a few suggestions that will ensure that your child's first visit with us will be a positive experience for him/her. We suggest that you speak very positive and excited about their first visit and explain that we will be "counting and shining" their teeth and we may need to "take pictures" of their teeth. Tell them that they will get to watch cartoons, play video games, and will even receive a new toothbrush and prize for "big helpers".

We are one of the first and few dental offices in Arizona to offer this revolutionary treatment option for the management of tooth decay. Silver Diamine Fluoride is an antimicrobial liquid that is able to treat cavities in a non-invasive, fast, affordable, and painless manner. Some patients who have active tooth decay may be eligible for an alternative treatment that uses Silver Diamine Fluoride.

MI Paste from GC America is a remineralizing toothpaste with Recaldent, derived from milk protein, which delivers the essential minerals calcium and phosphate back into your enamel. MI Paste is not toothpaste, but rather a treatment for enamel that is applied to the teeth after routine brushing and flossing.
