Michael L. Gordon, DMD | Dentistry for infants, children and teens | Cincinnati, OH |

Let's face it. Going to the dentist can be intimidating for anyone, regardless of age. Children, though, have always had a tendency to find dental visits scary and uncomfortable. Michael L. Gordon, D.M.D. puts those fears to rest. Dr. Gordon and his caring team specialize in pediatric and adolescent dentistry, serving the children and teenagers of the Cincinnati and Maineville, Ohio areas in a relaxed, fun, kid-friendly environment.

Your child's first dental visit to Dr. Gordon will be as calm and hassle-free as possible. Over the years, the doctor and his staff have learned that the less fuss made about the visit, the better it is for the child. By taking this laid-back, comfortable approach, Dr. Gordon can introduce your child to a world of proper dental care. Parents are invited to stay with their child throughout the first visit. On subsequent visits, you are encouraged to let your child venture into the exam without you, thereby gaining independence and developing a personal relationship with the staff.

Michael L. Gordon, D.M.D., has two offices to better serve you. The Cincinnati location is located at 3544 Springdale Road; the Maineville practice is at 2575 U.S. Route 22-3 West. Call (513) 385-6555 or visit their website to request an appointment and start your child on the road to exceptional dental care.
The Dental Home is intended to provide a place
other than the Emergency Room for parents.
You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. If old enough, your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions. The less to-do concerning the visit, the better.

It is best if you refrain from using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as "needle", "shot", "pull", "drill" or "hurt". The office makes a practice of using words that convey the same message, but are pleasant and non-frightening to the child.

We invite you to stay with your child during the initial examination. During future appointments, we suggest you allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience. We can usually establish a closer rapport with your child when you are not present. Our purpose is to gain your child's confidence and overcome apprehension. However, if you choose, you are more than welcome to accompany your child to the treatment room. For the safety and privacy of all patients, other children who are not being treated should remain in the reception room with a supervising adult.
