Any recommendations for a pediatric dentist in the area? My 3 year old has a cavity and his dentist is REALLY pushing to sedate him with Versed and I feel like that...

Sedation/ use of relaxing medication also helps make for a good experience. The doctor knows best in this case. Try reasoning with a 3 year old and then put the drill in their mouth. I would want my child sedated so they were safe.try www.Oceanpediatricdental.com A lot of these suggestions are not pedo offices. Go to a pediatric office, or you're wasting time and $$

We use Brick Pediatrics. My daughter has autism and has been going there since she turned 2. She is now 22, but because she has special needs, they will continue to see her.

We tried the laughing gas with a local dentist and it went horribly. Wound up going to Ocean Pediatric Dental and they were wonderful.
Marianne K. replied:
It's not local, but I take my kids to, Howell Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Karen is very gentle, kind and explains all options to you. My son had a cavity and I did not want him sedated. She completely respected my wishes and did local anaesthesia and he didn't feel a thing. She won't even take x-rays unless she feels it is absolutely necessary. I highly recommend her!

Janine G. replied:
Kim, if you would be interested in Lakewood on Rt. 70 at New Hampshire Rd. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Gary Wheeler. The quality of his work is superb. And he (and his office staff) cares so much about his patients. Blake still remembers him and to this day has no fear of the dentist. He raised the bar so high for me that when we moved here to FL, I had trouble finding anyone who met the same level of expertise, professionalism and kindness. www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/2638926/Dr-Gary+M.-WHEELER-lakewood-NJ.html
Matt K. replied:
Dr. Alan Swain! He's right across from community hospital. Very good dentist and friend of mine!
Bev C. replied:
Kim, we take our kids to Doc Swain. He's not a pediatric dentist, but he is good with the kids. The office isn't exactly pediatric dentist friendly, tho. I won't leave my kids alone in the exam room. And there isn't really enough xtra room for me to stand. When I had to go out in the hallway while they were doing xrays, the elder Doc Swain told me I could go sit in the waiting room, and if my son started to freak they would call me. I said 'Thanx, but I don't leave my children alone with people I don't know'. He looked a little taken aback. LOL Don't get me wrong. The younger Doc Swain is great with the kids. And the elder Doc Swain has been my husband's dentist since he was 5 years old. But if you're not comfortable leaving your children alone in the exam room with the dentist or a hygienist, this office isn't exactly ideal. For whatever that's worth.
Andy H. replied:
The Eastern Dental in TR on 37 isn't too bad, Kim. It's near the Manchester border, so not too far from you. The dental hygenists are especially good with kids.
