My 20 month old son had the poor fortune of having undeveloped enamel on his top 4 front teeth. They were literally rotting off! He needed a pulpotomy... Our previous dentist wanted to perform the procedure with him strapped to a board and using novocaine as an anthesetic. Can you think of a better way to traumatize a toddler and develop a life-long fear for the dentist? (btw, that's all our insurance would cover). No way! My wife used her "mommy" network and found Dr Poiset. We were pleased with the way he addressed all of our concerns and suggested IV sedation for our little one. It cost us a few hundred dollars more (it was a $3500 procedure), but it was well worth the cost. He worked very fast and did an excellent job on the crowns. We're very picky with our doctors and dentists - we're glad we found Dr. Poiset. He's a keeper! Be sure to plan in advance for an appointment - he's usually booked 2-3 months out.
