Glen Cove: 516-759-7000

As you may already know, February is National Children’s Dental Health Month. National Children’s Dental Health Month is sponsored by the ADA and is a great opportunity for parents and pediatric dentists to help educate and remind children just how important establishing good oral heath routine’s from a young age is. 

It’s extremely important for children to have a positive attitude towards oral hygiene from a young age to ensure they maintain these habits throughout their life!

The staff at Pediatric Dentistry of Garden City and Glen Cove has been visiting schools on Long Island to promote National Children’s Dental Health Month! So far, we've visited:
  • The Lutheran School – Garden City
  • The Little People School – Sea Cliff
  • Harbor Day Care – Sea Cliff
  • Glen Cove Boys and Girls Club – Glen Cove
  • Next week we will be visiting:
  • St. Anne School – Garden City
  • In March we will be visiting:
  • Glen Cove Boys and Girls Club – Glen Cove
  • Garden Manor Preschool – Garden City  
If you have any questions about your child's oral health, give us a call at either one of our locations. We look forward to speaking with you! For more information on our practice, visit us online at www.pdofgc.com.

A Message From the American Dental Association!

Pediatric Dentistry of Garden City
516-222-5100 



The American Dental Association (ADA) is advising dentists to talk to all of their patients about the dangers of prescription drug abuse in our country. The ADA is sending out this message before the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, which will take place on Saturday, September 29, 2012.


This day is going to be dedicated for people to bring back unwanted or expired medications (including opiods and painkillers) to designated disposal sites across the country. Did you know that prescription medications are now the most commonly abused drugs among kid’s ages 12-13 and second to marijuana among young adults? This data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration also found that these drugs are usually taken from medicine cabinets of friends and family.


Be a part of something positive and participate in National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day this Saturday, September 29th.
