John Melinski’s pediatric dental practice believes that dental disease is completely preventable. If dental care is started early, by the age of one, and followed routinely, every child can enjoy a healthy smile. If a special child needs treatment, we have the experience in behavioral management, sedation and anesthesia techniques that will benefit your special child’s needs most.
