We were told that my 4 year old son had 8 cavities. Dr. Helmle saw him and said he only had 2 that needed immediate attention. He filled his cavities and let my husband stay in the room with him. Everything went extremely well. Two of my other children have seen him, and once again a great visit.
Also, my children now look forward to visiting the dentist. He has free arcade machines in the waiting area and the kids are pleasantly distracted as they wait for their turn.
My husband and I are happy that one of us can always be present if/when they need may need more invasive work.
