Individualized Approach
Your child is unlike any other, and the same holds true for their smile. So, why do so many dental offices treat children the same? Here, we take the time to get to know our patients and their parents so we can completely customize their experience based on their unique needs and personality. We find that this approach not only lends itself to more relaxing appointments, but it also helps our team provide more tailored treatment options as well, giving everyone plenty of reasons to smile!
Board Certified Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Forester doesn’t just call himself a pediatric dentist, he had to earn that title by completing specialized training on top of dental school. During his pediatric residency, he completely dedicated two years to learning about and meeting the unique dental needs of children of all ages. In addition, a pediatric dentist is not required to be board certified by the ABPD (American Board of Pediatric Dentistry) in order to practice dentistry for children. This certification requires a significant commitment of additional time and energy to earn and maintain and reflects his commitment to the profession and passion for being a pediatric dentist. The field of children’s dental health changes quickly, and maintaining board certification is one way Dr. Forester ensures he is providing his patients with the most current and up to date techniques, technologies, and treatment. Because of this, the team at Coastal Pediatric Dentistry can offer a much higher level of service and expertise compared to your typical family dental office, meaning your little one will only get the best at every visit.
Mercury Free
First and foremost, our dental office is committed to protecting the safety and health of our patients, which is why we only use non-toxic materials that have been proven to provide reliable and long-lasting results. Instead of mercury-laden metal fillings, we use only fillings made of a biocompatible composite resin (white fillings). In addition to keeping your child safe, these fillings are also more natural-looking, meaning we can preserve your child’s dental health and appearance with one simple treatment. This is just one of the many ways we help parents always have peace of mind whenever they come to see us.
