Welcome to our Office!
Our mission is through education, informed decisions and mutual respect, to provide the highest quality of pediatric dental care in the most enjoyable atmosphere. We are dedicated to excellence through improving our skills, furthering our education and building relationships.
We recognize the infinite value of every child and we are eager to make a difference.
Our pediatric dental office has the latest state-of-the-art equipment to make sure your child has access to everything he or she needs at their visits. We have built our office with children in mind- offering a fun, comfortable environment which helps ensure
a fun and easy visit.
We pride ourselves in practicing ethically and honestly, always taking the time to explain our findings. We always consider all appropriate treatment options and try to present the most conservative plans, when possible. It is important for us to be helpful to our patients and answer any questions you might have regarding your child’s dental care.
Starting early with prevention and good habits will help build a life-long smile and relationship with your pediatric dentist. Thank you for trusting us with one of the most joyful gifts a child has to offer, their smile!
We are available
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM on
Monday - Thursdays
and most Fridays.
For after hours emergencies, please call
513-662-5203 and listen to our message.
Our office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience and when time is available. Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they are fresher and we can work more slowly with the child for their comfort. School aged children for routine visits can be scheduled throughout the day. Sedation appointments are scheduled only in the morning. Our afternoon appointments are reserved for preventive care visits, minor emergencies and orthodontic adjustments.
We require a 24 hour cancellation notice.
Financial Information
Payment for professional services is due at the time dental treatment is provided. This includes deductibles and co-insurance. We accept cash, personal checks, and most major credit cards. We also take Care Credit.
For patients that require dental treatment, we will customize a treatment plan unique to your child. Our treatment coordinator will review the recommended treatment and the estimation of your dental insurance reimbursement.
Every effort will be made to provide a treatment plan which fits your timetable and budget, and gives your child the best possible care.
Our Hours
Policies
Braces for
Kids and teens
Our doctors are experts on early growth and development of children’s dentition, jaws and craniofacial structures. Early growth and development evaluation may provide your child with a more positive experience should they need orthodontic treatment from our pediatric dentists.
Sedation
Dentistry
Our office offers a wide range of options from nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas” as well as deeper sedation in office with our Board Certified Pediatric Anesthesiologist. Our doctors also have privileges at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
Emergency
Treatment
We understand that the need for urgent dental care is sometimes necessary.
We strive to handle dental emergencies promptly and with compassion. We are always on call and you can reach our practice any day, at any time.

Preventive
Dentistry
This includes proper brushing, flossing and eating habits, ideal fluoride levels and the use of pit and fissure sealants. We strive to provide a fun, educational environment where children learn about the importance of good dental hygiene.
Our Doctors and our team are dedicated to
great dental experiences.
We, along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommend you bring your child in by his or her first birthday.
During your first visit, you will meet some of our dedicated pediatric dental team, be given a special introductory gift, and discuss your concerns for your child before entering the treatment room. Families will accompany one of our specialized hygienists to pick out a toothbrush and review tips for keeping their teeth healthy. She will walk you and your child through the steps of their first preventive care visit, or cleaning. Then, Dr. Trisha will join you at the end for a thorough exam to assess for decay and abnormalities, complete an oral cancer screening and orthodontic assessment. We will complete your visit by discussing any remaining questions you may have.
We request that you complete our First Visit Forms prior to arriving for your appointment. This helps our office keep your and everyone else’s scheduled visit on time.
Your initial exam will last approximately 30 minutes. Oral hygiene instructions will also be given with suggestions to help your child care for their own teeth. In most cases, we will also clean their teeth on this visit, and provide an evaluation that will outline any existing dental problems and proposed treatment.
We focus on your child’s comfort and safety.
Our pediatric dentists specialize in the treatment and prevention of dental disease as well as the overall oral health of children from birth through college. Through extra schooling, training, experience and certification, our pediatric dentists are uniquely qualified to treat the dental needs of infants, children and adolescents and individuals with special health care needs.
What is a Pediatric Dentist?
A Pediatric Dentist is a specialist dedicated to the oral health of children and the monitoring of their facial growth and development. Our office is designed for treating children from infancy through adolescence, as well as the medically and the physically compromised. In our opinion, taking your child to see a pediatric dental specialist is as important as taking them to see a pediatrician.

"As a dental hygienist, I take my boys here. They are amazing, the equipment is second to none and they can do amazing treatments for your child, (such as using bubblegum nitrous to fill small cavities, instead of giving your child an injection with anesthesia, where as most General Dentists do not).

"I took my 3 year old daughter here after a very traumatic experience with another pediatric dentist just the day before. They are second to none. I can't rave enough about them. By far, the best medical experience I have ever been a part of. My daughter said upon leaving "That was amazing!!!" I can't wait to take my other kids."

"Having twins that are almost 4 and both strong willed made me very anxious with how the visit would go. Even though I did get some of the reactions I expected out of my twins Lauren and Dr. Trish exceeded my expectations and we're so kind and reassuring not to mention fantastic with the kids! The kids loved the video games and play area in the waiting room. I can not recommend them enough and am so happy we chose The Pediatric Dentist!"

"We had an amazing experience today!! We took Liam 1 and Emma 2 to see Dr. Trisha!!! Emma whom had a rough visit in January at another dentist had ZERO tears today!!!

He received the best care and everything was explained to me as we went through the process. Thank you for making what could have been a scary experience a great one!"
