In our practice Dr. Creath promotes two overriding principles. First, we have an emphasis on preventive care for oral health. Utilizing patient education and specific dental products, we desire to see each patient grow up with little to no dental disease. Second, we prefer to treat children with such virtues as patience, gentleness, kindness, and benevolence. This means we utilize time rather than pharmacology as much as possible to help guide the behavior our patients through their dental experience.
