Dr M&M's Mini Molars

 (Ages 1-3)

Dr. M&M’s Mini Molars Program

is our dedicated infant oral health program focusing on preventative care for infants/toddlers (ages 1-3).

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and our office recommend that your child visit the dentist by his or her first birthday. Treat the first visit as your would a well-baby checkup with the child’s pediatrician. It’s best to meet the dentist when your child is having no dental problems – don’t wait until an emergency comes up. Having a well-baby checkup at this age connects your child to a dental home. This is a “home base” for dental care, a place where you can take your child from year to year. This helps our doctors to get to know your child’s and your family’s specific needs, so he or she can provide the best care.

Our entire team wants to get to know each and every parent and child in our entire patient family. In addition, it is important for each child to develop a relationship with both doctors. If either of the doctors is out of the office or an emergency arises that requires us to see your child after-hours, knowing both Dr. Malik AND Dr. Petrova will encourage trust and successful appointments due to familiarity.


We appreciate your understanding that our office does not typically schedule by doctor - unless a doctor preference is requested, but by appointment time that is unique for each procedure. When patients come in for their regular cleaning appointments, the first available doctor will be the one who sees your child. We often try to each see siblings in a family together utilizing both doctors.


It’s our sincere hope that you will support this philosophy as we continue to grow our family of patients. Having both doctors in our office allows us to offer more appointment availability, an immediate second opinion when needed and a more time efficient appointment!


Thank you and Welcome to our Dental Family!
