HELP - Pediatric Dentist / Ozone Therapy - Need Rec Please

[milopup]

Can anyone recommend a pediatric dentist who uses ozone therapy in the Bellevue/Seattle WA area? My 26 month old needs to see a dentist and I would like to see someone who uses ozone therapy as well (versus going straight to GA/fillings, etc.)

My DD has cried hysterically both times she was at the dentist (just for quick exams) so we would love to find a dentist who is patient, kind, and wont keep blaming my extended breastfeeding for my DD's dental issues.

Thank you.

I'd love to find such a dentist as well. Last time I researched this the closest dentists that used ozone worked in Canada or Idaho.
Does anyone else have more current information?

Hello,

Thank you

Bera,

I haven't heard of anyone else doing ozone in Seattle, but I haven't looked very much since my kid's teeth are holding up okay these days.

The dentist in Idaho I've heard of is Dr. Larry Bybee of KiDDS Dental in Pocatello, ID. His website is: http://www.kiddsdental.com. I just looked at it though, and it doesn't have a lot of info on it.

You can search MDC forums for his name or ozone and see if anyone else has recommendations.

Do you know about the yahoo forums veryyoungkidsteeth and alternativekidsteeth? I haven't been active there in a while, but those folks might have more up-to-date info on ozone dentists.

If you do find something helpful out, let me know! My youngest hasn't had x-rays yet and I'm worried that when we do at his next appointment we'll find decay (the extent of my dd's decay didn't fully show itself until we did x-rays).

i don't know anything about the use of ozone therapy in dentistry--but i do know dr. bybee.  my youngest daughter is treated by the dentists at kidds dental.  i am very impressed with dr. bybee and feel like he is an excellent pediatric dentist.  my daughter had enamel hypoplasia and required some extensive work on her teeth---12 at once, including 6 or 7 stainless steel crowns.  both of the dentists at kidds dental lean towards more natural practices such as vitamins and xylitol.  they practice mainly in pocatello idaho, but they come down to burley idaho one day a week also.
