Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dental care focused on the unique needs of children — from their very first tooth through adolescence. At Harrison Pediatric Dentistry, we combine clinical expertise with a warm, welcoming approach to ensure your child’s experience is positive from the start. We proudly provide pediatric dentistry for families in Ross, Brookville, Okeana, and Bright.
Dr. Madl and our team are trained to care for:
Infants and toddlers
Children with special healthcare needs
Teens and pre-teens
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth coming in. These early visits help:
Monitor healthy dental development
Prevent cavities before they start
Build familiarity and reduce dental anxiety
Starting dental visits early helps set the tone for lifelong oral health.

Every child is different — and so is every dental visit. We tailor each appointment to match your child’s age, comfort level, and dental needs. Whether it’s a toddler’s first check-up or a teen getting ready for orthodontics, we meet your child where they are.
Our pediatric services include:
Gentle cleanings and exams
Digital X-rays
Cavity prevention and treatment
Oral hygiene education
Growth and development tracking
Our team is trained not just in pediatric dentistry, but also in child behavior and communication. We:
Use kid-friendly language
Work at your child’s pace
Empower and encourage with positive reinforcement
We believe in building trust — with both the child and the parent — so each visit feels calm, supportive, and even fun.
Our team will be there through every stage, from baby teeth to braces. And if your child ever needs more advanced care, such as restorative or emergency treatment, we’ve got that covered too — all under one roof. Visiting a dentist for kids regularly helps prevent cavities and supports healthy dental development.
