More to Smile About
Rockland Pediatric Dental recently underwent a nine-month renovation process that expanded its space and services. The facility remains at the same location it has been for the last 32 years, under the direction of Ralph Berk, DDS, FAAPD, but in early October it unveiled a renovated space with 14 patient chairs and new state-of-the-art equipment.
The office, headed by four experienced dentists, continues to specialize in pediatric dentistry and to cater to children with special needs, but the team recently expanded to include two orthodontists, who treat both children and adults.
Rockland Pediatric Dental cares for the child as a whole, not just a child's teeth, says Dorit Hermann, DMD, a partner in the office. "We want kids to grow up to be lifelong patients who have a healthy attitude toward teeth and going to the dentist," says Dr. Hermann. She adds that it's their policy to work with a child and his family to involve parents in the education and treatment process of their children. They also offer a variety of behavior management techniques, she says, including in-office sedation visits and optional access to Nyack Hospital for treatment under general anesthesia.
