ABOUT US
Pediatric Dental Specialists is a speciality dental practice treating patients from infants to young adults. Our pediatric dentists, Dr. Tricia J. Altschuler and Dr. Stephanie Stevens, have training and experience to provide a wide range of dental treatment.
Our practice provides comprehensive care from routine preventive visits to restorations, and oral surgery. We recommend that parents bring their children to the dentist 6 months after their first tooth erupts, and then every 6 months. This establishes a routine that can ensure good dental hygiene and health throughout the child’s life.
