The team at Dentistry for Children, including Dr. Hayden Phillips, Dr. Catherine Robinette, Dr. Spencer Laufer, and Dr. Richard Greene, are specially trained in pediatric dentistry, possessing additional years of education beyond dental school to cater to the unique needs of children. They focus on building trust and rapport with their patients, offering comfort-enhancing practices and sedation options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation for more extensive treatments. General anesthesia is also available at their surgery center when necessary. The clinic is designed with a kid-friendly environment to alleviate anxiety, and they have extensive experience caring for children with special needs. Dentistry for Children operates from three convenient locations: Lexington, Richmond, and Georgetown, ensuring accessibility for families in the region. Their commitment extends to educating both children and parents on good oral hygiene habits for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
