He is a board member of the Dental Life Line (formerly the National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped.) His philosophy on treating children and special needs patients it to treat the whole child, not just the teeth. The only way in which we can be successful in developing a healthy generation of children who are free of dental disease is by establishing good prevention and comprehensive oral care while building self confidence in each child. Stressing the importance of open communication with parents and guardians, Dr. Safari and his team provide expert, technologically advanced pediatric dentistry and dental healthcare. Using a gentle approach, treatments are broken into small steps to acclimate very young children. Encouraged to stay with children during exams and treatments, parents are frequently amazed by what Dr. Safari can accomplish when treating shy, fearful or special needs patients. His impressive clinical, academic and research accomplishments are complemented by his warm, enthusiastic personality. DR SALLY GUERRASIO
