Dr. Hollander saved my child’s teeth, literally. After noticing some discoloration on my toddler’s teeth, I visited another pediatric dentist, and the experience was a nightmare. After watching my poor toddler treated so roughly during a cleaning, the assessment was even worse. I was told in a rather condescending, poor you tone — my only option was to baby root canal two molars & then to “bottle cap” them, along with capping his 4 front teeth — enamel on the front, silver on the back, all of which would needed to be done ASAP under GA @ CHOP, he then continued with “I have to ask, so what’s going on at home?” I have never felt so terrible in my entire life, but that’s for another review…. After I stopped crying, I went searching for a second opinion & I am so thankful I did. I found a message board on mothering.com where they were talking about this great dentist that saved their child’s teeth. To my surprise & delight, this dentist was located in King of Prussia, very close to where we were. I called and we were in to see him within days, I couldn’t believe how easy it was all becoming.The staff was so courteous, she was more than happy to answer all of my questions, I didn’t feel rushed at all.
He took at least 10 minutes, just letting my toddler get to know him, allowing him to build some trust before the exam. It was like a breath of fresh air & I knew he was going to be able to help us. He agreed there was the beginnings of decay, but his approach was completely different. Dr. Hollander took his time with me, did not make me feel like the decay on my child’s teeth was my fault, or from my lack of care. I had night nursed my toddler & I believe the result was this discoloration & decay — awful. Anyway, Dr. Hollander scraped away the discoloration that began on his front teeth, scooped our the decay from his molars, hit them with an OZONE treatment, which will stop the decay & filled the molars with a safe-non metal filling. All done, quickly & efficiently while my poor toddler screamed his head off, but Dr. Hollander kept his cool, walked me through it, kept me calm & started humming “yellow submarine” to try & soothe my son. We were given a treatment plan to follow at home, and his email address if we had any questions. I am so happy to say after a few months of sticking to it — my little guy’s teeth are almost as good as new — You can barely tell there was an issue at all!
Thank you Dr. Hollander for saving my son’s teeth!!
If you are searching for a non-evasive treatment plan and a top notch dentist — look no further!
