“Dr. Prokop is a fabulous pediatric dentist. My children have been patients for over 8 years. There are at least a dozen pediatric dentists closer to me but I drive roughly 20 miles to take my children to see her. She interacts with children very well, both of my daughters are on apprehensive side and she has worked hard to put them at ease. She takes time to answer all of my questions, we never feel rushed and we are always seen on time.”

“Dr. Prokop’s staff, especially Ashley, and Dr. Prokop are the best Pediatric Dental Specialists and Surgery office I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I am both a professional medical interpreter and friend of some of her patients. I have met a great number of dentists, Pediatric Dentists and Surgeons, but this office has the best attitude and service I have ever encountered. Thanks for all you do, Dr. Prokop and staff!”

“Not everyone enjoys going to the dentist or even getting their teeth cleaned. Well our family does! From the moment you are greeted at Dr. Prokop’s office you feel welcomed & are treated with TLC. Her staff, I can’t say enough about them – they are so friendly and welcoming! She is so gentle, thorough, always educating his patients, & does wonderful dentistry. Your smile will be in wonderful hands!”

Tooth-Colored Fillings
To treat a cavity we will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then “fill” the area on the tooth where the decayed material was removed. Fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth and teeth that have been worn down from misuse (such as from nail-biting or tooth grinding).
Extractions
A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth or teeth from the dental alveolus (socket) in the alveolar bone. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth which have become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease or dental trauma; especially when they are associated with toothache.
Sealants
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends placing dental sealants on the first permanent molars (at around 6 years of age) and the second permanent molars (which come in around 12 years of age).
Pulp Therapy
Pulp is found at the center of each tooth, and is comprised of nerves, tissue, and many blood vessels, which work to channel vital nutrients and oxygen. The primary goal of pulp therapy is to treat, restore, and save the affected tooth.
Dental Trauma
Dental trauma refers to trauma (injury) to the teeth and/or periodontium (gums, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone), and nearby soft tissues such as the lips, tongue, etc.
Nitrous Oxide
Sedation dentistry is the use of a mild sedative to manage special needs or anxiety while your child receives dental care. Sedation also may be used when several procedures need to be done at the same time, when the safety of a child may be compromised, or if your child has a strong “gag” reflex.
