Choosing a pediatric dentist is one of the most important decisions you can make, for your child. Someone willing to take the time to go over all of your options and treat you and your child as a person not just a patient. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and American Dental Association, recommend that a child have an established dental home by the age of one. Columbus Pediatric Dentistry hopes to be that dental home. Pediatric dentistry is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on the oral health and unique needs of infants, children, and young people. After completing a four-year dental school curriculum and obtaining a Dental Doctorate, two to three additional years of rigorous training is required to become a pediatric dentist. This specialized program of study and hands-on experience prepares pediatric dentists to meet the unique needs of your infants, children and adolescents, including persons with special health care needs. We are concerned about your child's total health care. Good oral health is an important part of total health. Establishing us as your child's, "Dental Home" provides us the opportunity to implement preventative dental health habits that keep a child free from dental/oral disease. We focus on prevention, early detection and treatment of dental diseases, and keep current in the latest advances in dentistry for children. Pleasant visits to the dental office promote the establishment of trust and confidence in your child that will last a lifetime. Our goal, at Columbus Pediatric Dentistry, P.C., is to help all children feel good about visiting the dentist and teach them how to care for their teeth. At our practice, we pride ourselves on our patient service. We offer a knowledgeable staff, safe and proven procedures, and the latest in dental technology and knowledge. Dr. Hayley Pavlov has experience working with Children at Riley and Cincinnati Children's Hospitals. She is also a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association. We've created this web site for both new and current patients. It includes specific information on our practice and our doctor along with general wellness information.
