I am looking for a pediatric dentist in or around the Coppell area. My daughter has had a lot of dental problems and I want to find a dentist that I trust and that we can form a great relationship with until we get all of her problems resolved. I like the current dentist we go to, although I do not like the two other dentists in his office and we have had some issues lately that are making feel like I should get a second opinion on her (two fillings have fallen out and this past weekend a crown he put on her first molar fell out). As I mentioned before she has a lot of issues with crowding, cavities forming in between her teeth and one tooth that became discolored after a filling was put in and has an absess on the gum above the tooth that comes and goes (the dentist has not extracted it yet b/c the root still looks good). I want a dentist that is not going to make me feel like a horrible parent (we floss her teeth everyday, never skip brushing, she uses a floride wash in the morning and we put a perscription floride on before bed and limit the amount of sweets she eats, and she only drinks milk and water- no juice and she has never had a soda in her 5 years of life.) I also want someone that is not going to fill her mouth up with silver crowns or want to pull numerous teeth.
Any suggestions/recomendations would be great.
This is who I use and love. I have a three year old and almost 5 year old. One with zero problems and one that already had a cavity. How it happened I have no clue,but she was very good about it. I love the entire office and both kids love to go.
We love Dr. Melissa Rozas on Sandy Lake. She has a whole staff of friendly dental hygienists...and she is a super friendly gal. We have gone to her for almost 15 years. I still send my 17 year old to her, along with my 14yo and 10yo. Good luck!
I highly recommend Dr. Reddy. 370 S State Hwy 121 N #102, Coppell TX 75019-3988 ###-###-####.
He is fantastic with children. He even works at Childrens Hospital in Dallas once a month.
I was told that my youngest child needed a root canal and crown by a dentist and a specialty dentist. The specialist wanted to put her in a straight jacket (papus) and do the procedure with out me being in the room. I told him that she had already had few surface fillings and had no problems. However, that seems to be the case with most specialty dentist.
Then I heard about Dr. Reddy. I called and talked to his staff first. I also advised him that she is not always welcoming to men the first time that she meets them. They told me that Dr Reddy does not believe in using straight jackets and that they would be happy to set up an appointment for my daughter to meet him. As usual, she was a little scared and not very eager at first. However, within a few minutes he was not only looking at her teeth, but told me that she did not need a root canal and was able to fill her tooth before we left the office. He is wonderful. I have referred many people to him.
A friend of mine has a child with Autism (Asbergers) and she was having problems with her son at the dentist. She started taking him to Dr. Reddy and has no problems now.
As I said, I highly recommend him. Good luck in your search.
I also agree with Dr. Rozas. She is amazing! My daughter has a heart defect and that ties in with teeth issues. She has been incredible in staying on top of her teeth and treating them. I have called her with a question and she came right to the phone to answer. I can't say enough wonderful things about her and her entire staff!
