Our office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommends that your child visit the dentist by his/her first birthday. There are three distinct pediatric groups…the very young, pre-teens, and teenagers. Each group requires a different approach in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems. Bay Pediatric Dentistry is best qualified to meet these needs. Dr. Diana also spends time every week at the Cleveland Clinic Surgery Center, specializing in the treatment of the medically and mentally compromised child and adult.
Bay Pediatric Dentistry offers many treatment options, including conscious sedation and general sedation. She and members of her team believe in the use of preventative dental techniques to accomplish their goals. Dr. Diana’s office is geared specifically toward making your child’s dental experience as comfortable as possible. According to Dr. Diana, “I absolutely have the best dental team in the area. I feel they are second to none. They are friendly, compassionate, well-trained, and enthusiastic. Each member of my team genuinely enjoys working with children."
Dr. Diana and her team have also had specialized training, enabling them to provide the most up-to-date and thorough treatment for a wide variety of children’s dental problems. They are trained and qualified to treat special patients who may have emotional, physical, or mental disabilities. To help these children remain totally healthy, Dr. Diana and her team often work in conjunction with pediatricians, physicians, and other dental specialists. Bay Pediatric Dentistry believes that healthy children as well as hospitalized, handicapped, and chronically ill children often are best served through this team approach.
