Dr. Dan S Hillis, DDS

What makes us unique? When we clean your child's teeth, we don't just "brush the teeth".  Our experienced and gentle hygiene team thoroughly clean above and below the gums, apply flouride, and take necessary xrays.  Dr Hillis then performs a thorough oral exam including a cancer screening and examines your child's "bite" for possible orthodontic intervention.  
3.POSITIVE EXPERIENCE
This is the key element!  Dr Dan Hillis believes that your child's dental experiences early in life determine how they will approach dental care as an adult.  We are aware that many adults have fear or anxiety related to dental care that began when they were young.  As a result, we are sensitive to the experience your child has while in our office. 
What makes us unique?  At Mason Dental Care, we take pride in offering our little patients great first time experiences!  Depending on the age of your child we may use several techniques to make your child comfortable.  Small children are …encouraged to sit on mom or dad's lap, sunglasses are given if the dental light seems "too bright" or we offer our office mascot, 'Chocolate Moose', to be held during their appointment.  For those with existing dental anxiety from previous experiences in other offices, Dr Dan Hillis can offer sedation dentistry in many forms.  Whether by gas, pill, or IV, all options will be discussed with a parent and your child's health history reviewed to ensure a safe and positive experience.  Dr Dan Hillis completed his sedation residency at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio and is licensed by the state of Ohio.   For more information on sedation dentistry, view our IV Sedation and Oral Sedation Dentistry tab under procedures.
