Michelle Giumenta, DDS

Listing Information:

Pediatric Dentistry exists because children have dental problems. The pediatric dentist is dedicated to the care of these dental problems. The specialty training teaches that the modes of management for children are different than those of an adult. The pediatric dentist uses words and phrases that are age appropriate and child friendly, so that the dental work can be completed in a relaxed atmosphere. Dr. Giumenta believes early intervention is needed to prevent decay in hopes of raising all children free of significant dental problems. She would like to see children when they start to get teeth, so she can motivate the parents and the children about proper home care, understanding how what you eat relates to the cavity process, and the use of fluoride and sealants to help prevent cavities.
