My 10 year old son was sent to Dr. Fried to have 4 baby teeth extracted before he could start orthodontic treatment. My son was very adamant about wanting novacaine and nothing else. Dr. Fried took the time to explain to my son all the pain relief options and felt comfortable with my son's decision to go with novacaine. This went a long way in building trust. The procedure was quick and my son left saying " I didn't think the dentist would listen to what I wanted, but I was wrong". I will defintely recommend and use Dr. Fried for any oral surgery my family needs in the future.
