drprater18-224x300-2748232Pediatric Dentistry is the dental specialty recognized by the American Dental Association which encompasses comprehensive dental care for all children, from infancy through adolescence.

A children’s dental specialist like Dr. Prater is a practitioner who, after becoming a general dentist (often call a family dentist), has completed an additional two years of post-doctoral training in the recognition and treatment of children’s dental services. Specialty education includes child psychology, behavior guidance, preventive techniques, restorative dentistry, and the treatment of children with special needs.

A thorough exam will be done to evaluate the health of your child’s teeth, gums and mouth. One of our doctors will evaluate your child’s growth and development and check to make sure your child’s oral development is on track. Our office will make child-specific recommendations for the need of sealants, fluoride and other services based on your child’s individual needs and habits.

Adderall is a Schedule II controlled substance, meaning it has a significant potential for abuse and addiction. Patients are recommended to use it only under strict medical supervision, following the prescribed dosage closely to avoid the risks of misuse. Ambien (Zolpidem) is also tightly controlled, with restrictions in place to prevent dependency and complex sleep behaviors. It should be used only for short-term treatment of insomnia, with adherence to the dosing instructions. Ritalin(Methylphenidate) is another Schedule II drug, with similar restrictions due to its potential for abuse. Patients should use it only as directed, under regular monitoring by their healthcare provider. When opting to buy carisoprodol online, it is important to ensure the source is legitimate, as Carisoprodol is a controlled substance with a risk of dependency, and it should be used only according to the prescribed instructions.

We strive to make each visit fun, educational and memorable for you & your child!
