I tried scheduling an appointment by the group on ocean parkway but they only accept from 12 and up. The Hirshman group is too pricey for me. Where else can I go with dd? She needs 4 extractions as recommended by her orthodontist.
TIA

How soon will she be 12? How soon can you even get an appt? Maybe you can just wait until she's 12 and go to the place you first wanted?

Same.

Why wouldn't your regular pediatric dentist do this?

One of mine had five extractions done, also per ortho recommendation. By the root and all. Each one took only a few minutes in total with the numbing and removal.

Did you ask your DD’s regular dentist?

No suggestions, but ...

when you check in, ask if they're going to rx pain killers for your child after the extractions. If so, ask that they call it in immediately, so it will be ready when your child is done.

I didn't do this when my child had wisdom teeth removed, and it was a BIG mistake.

Although wisdom teeth are different, so you may not need it, I guess.

Thank you for responding. I called my orthodontist and he said that since it’s adult teeth, a regular dentist won’t usually do it. He recommended Dr. Zeitlin. Anyone heard of him?
