David S. Gould, DDS

We are strictly a PEDIATRIC DENTAL OFFICE servicing patients up to the age of eighteen (in other words, until you don’t wanna come with mommy anymore!). We typically start seeing children at eighteen months, but there’s really no minimum age; in fact, we once had a patient who was only six days old!

Dealing with kids requires “something special;” simply put, not everyone can do it or do it right. If you treat a child like a block of wood, they’re going to respond like a block of wood. It’s essential to be able to talk and communicate with parents and their children so that both understand what we’re doing and what they can expect from us. As such, we have never had a problem with parents accompanying their children into our examination rooms. We strive to be as friendly as possible, and want every child’s experience here to be reasonably pleasant. We want to make sure that when a kid leaves our office, they’re going to come back.

As we bragged about on our home page, we’ve been at our Brockton location since the summer of 1973, and are now seeing young patients who are the children of former pediatric patients (i.e. we used to have their parents in our chair when they were kids)! There truly is a certain amount of trust built between families and their dentist; we always hope to have made a favorable impression, and we’re quite proud of the continuity and relationships we’ve established over the years.
