A specialist in Pediatric Dentistry, as Dr. Lentfer<\/a> is, obtains a certificate by attending a two or three year residency after they complete dental school. Pediatric Dentist\u2019s are specifically trained to treat childhood decay and gum disease<\/a> and have experience recognizing growth and development problems beyond the knowledge obtained in general dental school.<\/p>\n And lastly, Pediatric dental offices are geared towards children. From more welcoming child friendly staff, presentation of treatment and instrumentation, d\u00e9cor, from televisions above our treatment chairs to rewards after your child\u2019s visit, and smaller equipment for smaller mouths, we are focused on giving your child a more comfortable visit that is not what you would experience at a general dentist.<\/p>\n Our focus is on preventative care in a child friendly atmosphere to set your child up for a lifetime of healthy habits and great oral health.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Schedule an Appointment” module_id=”stickybar” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#12e4d6″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”135deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”#3acfd5 0%|#3c80e0 100%” background_color_gradient_start=”#3acfd5″ background_color_gradient_end=”#3c80e0″ custom_padding=”0px||0px|” global_module=”10438″ collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1080px” custom_padding=”8px||8px|” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ module_class=”stickyHeaderText” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_position=”top_left” custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_tablet=”||0px|” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text module_class=”et_pb_animation_left et-animated et-waypoint” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”|on||on|” text_font_size=”24″ text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”5px|||” custom_margin_tablet=”10px|||” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Schedule An Appointment <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_position=”top_left” custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_tablet=”25px|||” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_main_element=”margin: auto 0;” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_button button_url=”\/request-an-appointment\/” button_text=”Request An Appointment” button_alignment=”center” module_class=”TopButton et_pb_animation_right et-animated et-waypoint” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”18″ button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#5eb548″ button_border_width=”1″ button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”|700||on|||||” button_use_icon=”off” background_layout=”dark” button_text_color_hover=”#f7560e” button_border_color_hover=”#f7560e” button_border_radius_hover=”1″ button_letter_spacing_hover=”0″ button_bg_color_hover=”#ffffff” global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#f7560e” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_border_color__hover=”#f7560e” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”on” button_border_radius__hover=”1″ button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on” button_letter_spacing__hover=”0″ button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#ffffff” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let’s Connect!Call Us Today(541) 636-4344 Why Should You Take Your Child To A Pediatric Dentist?

Special needs and high anxiety children also fall under the specialty of Pediatric Dentistry. In our residency, we are trained extensively with, but not limited to, the needs of children with physical and developmental challenges, congenital diseases, children with a history of, or going through, cancer treatment, and autism. We are also highly trained in the use of nitrous oxide, oral sedation and treatment under general anesthesia.<\/p>\n
