Dr. Heck is the mother of 3 children, and collectively her staff has a total of 17 children. As mothers we are very sensitive to the special needs of children. It is important to us that your child feels comfortable during their dental visit. Children who visit the dentist on a regular basis tend to develop positive dental attitudes throughout their lifetime.
The Gosport Dental Clinic has a special room designed in bright happy colors to make your child’s visit fun. We call their first visit the “Happy Visit.” At this time we count and tickle their teeth. We like to see children as early as 1 year of age in order to educate the parents so they don’t find our office at the age of 4 or 5 with a mouth full of cavities.
If dental work is required, we offer conscious sedation in the form of Valium, and if necessary, we will also incorporate nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to assure your child’s visit is stress free and often fun.
We take pride in the fact that many of our patients seen years ago as children bring their own children to us. We feel that it is the greatest compliment for you to trust us with your most precious child.
“My children have been going to Dr. Heck since they were 1 or 2 years of age. Even though they had some extensive work done as early as the age of 3, they have always liked going to the dentist. Dr. Heck has always made dental visits fun. Presently my girls are in braces and only continue to look forward to their dental visits.”
