Pediatric Dentistry of Union

Pediatric Dentistry of Union is a dedicated dental clinic located at 381 Chestnut St, Union, NJ. It was originally founded in 1987 by Dr. Glenn R. Rosivack, who was a professor and later the Chair of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at The Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Rosivack's inspiration for opening the practice in Union came from his passion for working with children, particularly those with special needs, and a desire to provide more personalized, unhurried care. The practice was later acquired by Dr. Mouli Patel, who had previously worked with Dr. Rosivack, and she continues to uphold the original "patient-first philosophy" and guiding values. The clinic offers a comprehensive suite of pediatric dental services, emphasizing a holistic approach to oral health. This means the dentists not only check for cavities but also examine how a child's daily routine and overall health affect their teeth. Services include preventive care such as regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants, as well as more specialized care like emergency dentistry, hospital dentistry with sedation for complex cases, and dentistry for children with special needs. The team also provides guidance on topics like tooth eruption, cavity prevention, and habit-breaking for issues like digit sucking. Pediatric Dentistry of Union is designed to be a welcoming and comforting environment for children. The office features kid-friendly amenities like a Ms. Pac-Man arcade, TVs on the ceiling above dental chairs, and a prize wall to help ease anxiety and make visits a positive experience. The team, which also includes Dr. Roshni Patel, is known for its patience, kindness, and ability to build trust with both children and their parents. They focus on educating families to establish healthy dental habits that last a lifetime.
