Pediatric Dentist (or regular) recs for RI?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Does anyone have a pediatric, (or regular), dentist they LOVE for their child? DS took a spill last week and knocked his front tooth back a bit. I want a dentist to look at it but he has never been to one. I know it's going to be traumatic experience because he hates doctors and is very sensitive about the whole "broken tooth" subject. I would at least love a dentist that is sensitive to children's needs and that would allow me to come into the room with him.

 

Thanks for any help!

 

Peace~

We use Dr. Thomas Mulvey in Providence....we really like him....he is great with the kids, and isn't quick to drill when problems occur (just monitoring them).  My DS2 has some early caries on his front teeth :(  and while night-time breastfeeding was mentioned as a suspected culprit, I was encouraged to continue breastfeeding not to stop.  I have never been asked to leave the room, and both of my sons usually sit on my lap during the exam.  So far, good experiences.

 

As an aside, I see that our two boys are just a day apart!

Thank you! :-)    I believe I'll be going with him, they seem great.
