The front staff are so kind, and they really make you feel at home. Dr. Rullo is so professional and very empathetic towards kids. My little boy couldn’t get treatment anywhere, he wouldn’t even open his mouth at other places. When he was finished getting his fillings here, he was all smiles. I highly recommend this place!"

He saw all three of my kids and made them feel so comfortable that they can’t wait to come back! I HIGHLY recommend this office!!"
We want children to have an excellent relationship with their dentist, so they aren’t scared to come see us.

We focus on teaching children coping strategies to tolerate awake treatment to facilitate their ability to enjoy dentistry throughout their adulthood.
In recent years, the conversation surrounding the importance of mental health has become much more prominent, which is great news! Anxiety is common in our complex world, and addressing it at an early age can set children up for success in the future. What parents don’t always realize is that dental-related anxiety is often related to general anxiety disorders, which is why seeking out a pediatric dentist in particular who is trained in behavior shaping and anxiety reduction can make a tremendous difference. We’ll help your son or daughter build coping strategies that will suit them in all avenues of life!
