        Pediatric Dentist

        Saturday, January 19th, 2008

        Posted to IHM Moms group:

        I would LOVE to tell you about our new dentist.

        A few months ago another mom asked about a pediatric dentist and I went ahead and wrote down the info that others shared. We had a great dentist but it was TOO far away.

        Any way, All 3 of my kids (ages 3,5,6) have recently been seen by Dr. Eaton at Northlake Pediatric Dentistry and they all came out smiling!

        When the kids get there they watch a video about a dinosaur who goes to the dentist and then they look into the “magic” mirror too see the tooth fairy. Then the VERY nice ladies take them away to get their cleanings. The kids return with a bag full of goodies (not candy) and a photo of them and Dr. Eaton. They give all the other kids with me a treat as well.

        Dr. Eaton is very nice and the kids liked him alot.

        If you can’t tell….I am also VERY happy to have found him!

        Northlake Pediatric Dentistry, P.C.

        Building 11, Suite 20
        Tucker, Ga. 30084

        Good luck, Annette Lowe
