Serving the Genesee County area for over thirty years, the practice is led by experienced pediatric dentists, including Dr. John M. Sushynski and Dr. Daniel P. Carroll. The clinic's core mission is to foster positive attitudes toward dental care in children and their families by providing a warm, caring, and supportive environment. Their services are comprehensive, covering a wide range of oral health needs for young patients from infancy through adolescence, including those with special healthcare needs. Key services offered include preventive dental care such as routine oral health exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants. They also provide restorative dentistry, including fillings and stainless steel crowns, as well as more specialized treatments like root canal therapy, extractions, and space maintenance. Mid-Michigan Pediatric Dentistry places a strong emphasis on creating a comfortable and anxiety-free experience for children. They offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), conscious sedation, and general anesthesia for more extensive procedures or highly anxious patients. The clinic is designed to be child-friendly, with a focus on clear and gentle communication to help children understand the importance of dental care. They also prioritize educating parents on topics such as nutrition, brushing, and flossing. The practice is committed to a "dental home" approach, encouraging early visits (within 6 months of the first tooth eruption or by the first birthday) to establish preventive dental health habits from a young age. They work collaboratively with pediatricians and other medical/dental specialists to ensure a holistic approach to a child's total health. Testimonials highlight the friendly staff, clean environment, and the dentists' ability to make children feel at ease.
