Justin Fried is not participating in my HMO, much to my disappointment--he sounds wonderful.
The list of dentists in the area that do is too long to post here.
Anyone have any experience with a dentist in the area who is great with kids. I've gotta get the kids in for a check-up and I'm dreading it. I'm hoping to find someone who will make it as painless (in pshycological terms) as possible. I need a cleaning too, so I guess "family friendly" would be a more appropriate term.
Hopefully somebody will name a dentist on my list! |

SDouth Orange Dental Center. Drs Rosemond and Strahan(sp) 973-762-2660 opposite Seton Hall. They are both wonderful and she is a kid's dentist. My 21 year old insists still on seeing her as she is wonderful. |

My kids both like Margaret McIntyre in Millburn. We used to go to Dr. Kotkin, and he's great. But he wasn't on our plan, and it was getting too expensive. I was dreading switching to someone else, but Dr. M. and the staff are great with my 9- and 4-year-old. She's pulled three of my son's teeth, and he still doesn't mind going back. |

Meand -- there is Dr. Richard Eytel in West Orange, who is very nice with kids.
If you are willing to drive a bit, I recommend Dr. Herbert Portnoff in Edison. We go to him -- long story about how we found him -- and he is WONDERFUL. |

Our whole family goes to Dr. Frieda Max in Millburn (near Whole Foods). We love her! My 6 year old is so comfortable there that I can book his and my appointment at the same time...he'll just walk right in with the hygenist and I don't have to be there! Dr. Max even has my husband going to her every 6 months, after 10 years of not going at all. The whole staff is nice. Can't say enough about her! |

Definitely Dr. Frieda Max - all of my kids (ages 3-7) love her. My husband and I also go her and think she's great. The office staff is very nice. |

I also recommend Dr. Eytel in WO. My 4 yr old was born with a tooth and he has been great with her from 1 week old. She loves going to the dentist! |
