The Boston Parents Paper both online and offline has been guiding and informing parents in the Boston Metropolitan region for over thirty years. In addition to a magazine that continues to be distributed free throughout Massachusetts, the Boston Parents paper also has a strong web presence through their web pages, including popular social media properties. Families know they can depend on the diverse articles this magazine explores, ranging from educational topics to child-safe sports and creative projects appropriate for all ages.
Recently, the magazine tackled a subject that is near and dear to most parents as they search for just the right dentist for their youngster. Five dental practices within the Boston Metropolitan area were chosen for their individuality, atmosphere and approach to the field of family-oriented dentistry. In no particular order, we present the nominees for this honor as these dental practices exemplify “the finest of the finest” attributes that pediatric and family dentistry have to offer.

Greater Boston Smiles
http://greaterbostonpediatricdentistry.com
Greater Boston Smiles is led by Dr. Shaughnessy who has established his pediatric dental practice as a “dental home away from home” for his young patients. With this in mind, the entire dental team works with pediatric patients so they can lose their fear of dentistry. They find that by lowering natural anxiety levels, young patients are more confident when having to undergo a variety of dental procedures. In addition to working with patients in his Quincy offices, Dr. Shaughnessy also serves as a staff member at Children’s Hospital of Boston.
The doctor and his staff work to encourage a sense of security for youngsters by involving close family members. Caring team members are trained to help anxious young patients relax. This adds to an already warm and nurturing office environment.
One important aspect of the team at Great Boston Smiles, is their ability to work with pediatric patients diagnosed with “special needs” that many general dental practices are not trained to work with. Before long, youngsters who once feared visiting the dentist actually look forward to returning to the office for routine procedures like cleanings and general examinations.
