For my daughter's first dental check-up at the age of 2, I took her to another local pediatric dentist. They hygenists were trying to rush my frightened daughter and threatening her with not getting her prizes if she didn't cooperate. Needless to say, I was less than pleased and sought out another dentist for her. Dr. Lynda Dean-Duru was exactly the dentist we needed. When you walk into the office you immediately see that it is a great place for kids. There is a train that runs along the ceiling for the kids to watch, and there is cabinet full of DVDs so they can pick a movie to watch on their own personal screen while they have their teeth cleaned. They don't mind a bit if the visit takes a bit longer than planned because a child was nervous, and they are very understanding and encouraging through every step. I couldn't have asked for a better pediatric dental office, and I will never take my kids anywhere else.
