About Our Office We use the most modern and state-of-the-art sterilization procedures available. You can feel assured that your child's health is our primary goal. Regular attendance of our entire staff at pediatric dentistry continuing education classes keeps everyone in our office current on the most modern dental techniques and procedures. Our excellent business staff is committed to help parents with all of their concerns regarding the dental treatment of their child. Dr. Haffner follows the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's guidelines of recommending that a child first visit a pediatric dentist on or around their first birthday. At the first year check-up, a child is brought back with the parent to assist in the exam. A thorough tooth as well as gum tissue exam is done. Dr. Haffner will also go over tooth care instructions, recommend feeding habits that are good for teeth, and try to answer any questions you may have about your child's dental care.
