Here’s a brief overview of some of our services we provide at Dr. Nugent’s private dental office:
Pediatric Dentistry and Children’s Dentistry
Dr. Nugent sees children in his office and loves working with children. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry your child should see a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears or no later than his/her first birthday. Having the child in the room watching Mom, Dad, or an older sibling helps ease the apprehension of the child.
Dr. Nugent knows that your children are the most precious things to you. He feels the same way about his daughters. Dr. Nugent works on his daughters and will ONLY work and recommend treatment on your children if he would do the same thing on his kids. Here is a video of Dr. Nugent taking his daughter Katherine’s baby tooth because the adult tooth was coming in behind the baby tooth.
