Children
Dr. Broadway recommends children be seen by age 2 1/2, or earlier if parents have any questions or concerns. Education about dental care needs to start at an early age. We encourage family visits, you are welcome to bring children to your initial visit or a siblings initial visit, if you would like them to observe. Our philosophy encourages a positive environment. We let children set the pace at their first visit so that they feel positive about dental care. Our office has several children's books in the waiting room discussing all aspects of dental care such as brushing, visiting the dentist, fillings, pulling teeth, sugar bugs, loosing teeth, and the tooth fairy. We also have special prizes at the end of each visit.
