Finding a dentist you feel comfortable with can ease any fears you may have about a visit to the dentist. Dr. Eliades and his team at Port Washington Dental Associates offers a warm and caring environment in a state-of-the-art facility. Port Washington Dental Associates is a family dental practice, offering the services of Pediatric Specialist Dr. Dionne Finlay to address the dental needs of young patients. Dr. Finlay is dedicated to helping patients prevent problems before they begin. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a child should be seen by a dentist within six months after the first tooth erupts and no later than his or her first birthday. During the first visit, Dr. Finlay will help identify any signs of oral disease and develop an oral health care program based on each child’s individual needs. “Early examination and preventive care will help the child build a lifetime of good dental habits,” Dr. Finlay says. “This first visit, and subsequent recall visits, will help the child to establish a dental home, thus making visits more comfortable and less fearful. It can also serve as a place for parents to visit when their child has a dental emergency.” For a limited time, free oral evaluation and x-rays are offered to first-time patients. Many insurance plans are accepted and flexible financing is also available. The dedicated staff at Port Washington Dental Associates is eager to meet the entire family.
