Reviews
This review is to inform parents who do not want to give their children Fluoride. I called ahead of time to ask if my young child would be given fluoride during our very first dentist appointment. I was politely told by the receptionist that they would not be doing a fluoride treatment. The appointment came. The staff was friendly. The hygienist cleaned my child's teeth and said they were great - no cavities! After that the dentist (Perdue) came in for her consultation and began discussing fluoride with me (I had indicated on the questionnaire that we had not given our child fluoride). After hearing her professional opinion about the use of fluoride, she asked me very directly if I was against fluoride. I replied that I wasn't against it, but that my child still swallows toothpaste when brushing and we were still researching about it. Well much to my dismay she proceeded immediately to put fluoride (which she called "vitamins") on my child's teeth without asking my consent or even telling me what she was doing. I was blatantly told there would be no fluoride and the manner in which she took action was very unprofessional. Some might think... calm down it's just fluoride, but I am the parent and it is my choice. Her tone and actions were undermining to our desires for our child's dental health. If you don't want fluoride treatments for your child, don't go here.
