"I have been a part of
Park Avenue Pediatric Dentistry
for about five years with my
three children. Dr. Pilla has been
incredibly professional, proactive,
kind, sensitive and empathetic
towards me and all three of my children.
My children arrived with many cavities.
Their teeth were sealed and Dr. Pilla
has hugely decreased the quantity
of cavities. The hygienists in the office
are kind, gentle, fun, and are very
good listeners. We are all so happy in
this practice and I cannot recommend
them enough!!!"
-D. August

"I cannot speak more highly
of our experience with Park
Avenue Pediatric Dentistry. Our
daughter needed to go under
sedation at the age of 4 years old.
The staff could not have been
more reassuring. They thoroughly
explained the procedure and were
available for any questions.
Because of their kindness and
professionalism, our daughter
was unafraid."

First Visit

Along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend that a child’s first dental visit be scheduled by his/her 1st birthday. It is very important to make the first visit as positive and enjoyable for the child as possible. We want your child to enjoy getting to know our doctors and staff and be comfortable at all times. A pleasant, comfortable first visit builds trust and helps put the child at ease during future dental visits. Let the child know that the doctors and staff will explain everything in detail and will answer any questions he/she has. Children should be encouraged to discuss any fears or anxiety they feel.

Parents should not make a big deal out of the visit and refrain from using any words that could cause unnecessary fear, such as “needle” or “drill.” We are experienced in dealing with children with anxiety and can explain treatment procedures in a positive and pleasant manner to avoid any anxious or negative feelings toward dentistry.

We will record the child’s dental and medical history, complete a comprehensive examination and discuss any findings with you. We will also review the importance of maintaining a good dental health program with you and your child to ensure a healthy and beautiful smile for life!
