At Suite Tooth Pediatrics, we know anxiety and fear are two of the reasons people avoid going to the dentist. We know, too, that a person’s feelings about dentistry and the dental environment is shaped as early as the first dental appointment. It is our goal to deliver positive dental visits and create positive attitudes that will last a lifetime – one visit, one smile, one child at a time!
High-Quality, Individualized Dental Care for Your Young Family
Dr. Ashlee Thomas Kato and her team are dedicated to ensuring every child in our care is treated with the greatest respect, gentleness, and compassion. We are equally as committed to building a relationship with every family, as we work toward the shared goal: a lifetime of healthy smiles and confidence in maintaining their wellness!
Kid-Friendly
We have designed Suite Tooth Pediatrics around children’s needs. There’s an engaging “Kids Suite” in the reception area, quiet rooms for younger and anxious children, kids’ sized equipment, and semi-private hygiene rooms, too.
Beyond the physical aspects and décor, though, are Dr. Kato and our team members who make this a welcoming, fun, and safe space. Our specialized training, experience, and genuine passion for building trust with kids helps each little one feel secure and supported.
Family-Focused
As important as it is to connect with young patients, we also strive to create a partnership with parents and families. Non-judgmental listeners, we encourage parents to talk with us about their needs and what they want for their children.
In turn, we offer useful and practical guidance, helping parents understand the importance of oral health. Whether focusing on nutrition, home dental hygiene habits, or making changes to stop emerging problems, we tailor education to each child’s and family’s situation.
We Make it Work
Being creative, accommodating, and solution-oriented, we find ways to deliver clinical excellence and positive outcomes. This helps us ensure children grow-up with optimal oral health and “graduate” to a general dentist empowered to keep their smile healthy and beautiful!
- Appropriate Care: Every child is at a different point in their development: physically, mentally, and emotionally. We take time to learn how best to connect to each child in a calm and non-threatening manner. Keeping all of the child’s needs in mind, Dr. Kato identifies the most appropriate treatment: efficient, effective, and worry-free!
- Fun-Filled Visits: It’s not unusual to find one – or more – of us crouched on the floor as we chat about superheroes, princesses, and kids’ adventures. While this helps children feel at ease, it’s also enjoyable to us, as we treasure each child’s uniqueness. We also focus on ensuring every visit ends on a high note, with patients leaving with prizes and educational goodies!
