He's been our pediatric dentist for 12 years, even though we've moved further away. We initially went to Dr. Coleman after much research on dental care for our infant, who had a few cavities. He was the fourth or fifth Dentist I spoke to before finding one willing to work on our infant without using a general anesthesia. He used restraints, which is just bundling, and I think a local. It's way less convenient for the dentist than putting the kid under a general anesthesia, because the child is squirming and protesting.
Most of the other dentists we checked out wanted us to sign a form promising not to sue if our kid died as a result of the general anesthesia, and stating that we understood that one out of every 10,000 kids was expected to die as a result of the anesthesia. Since we were too hld to have more kids, we didn't like the odds, especially since we're not taking the risk for an operation to save the child's life, but to save baby teeth! Coleman's office is plain. The office is fairly convenient to deal with, although we don't have dental insurance so I can't speak to that. They are less expensive than the few other dentists we know about.
