They actively encourage parental involvement in treatment decisions, fostering a collaborative partnership between the dental team and families. Key aspects of their patient care philosophy and offerings include: Patient-Centered and Customized Care: Recognizing that every child is unique, Agape Pediatric Dentistry provides individualized treatment plans tailored to each child's specific needs, age, cognitive development, and any previous medical or dental experiences.
