When I was learning how to treat children in my residency at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx, I learned how to “fill a tooth”. That was in 1991. In my 30 years of treating children, I learned when and why I SHOULD NOT to do a filling.

There is NO SUBSTIUTE for twenty nine years of EXPERIENCE when treating your child. 

Through my years, I have learned that some type of treatment has a very low clinical success rate. In other words, it doesn’t work! Wouldn’t you like to know that before you give the go-ahead? I certainly would if I were the parent.

Some treatment is not necessary at all,  but some treatment is vitally necessary. That is the information that you need in order to make an informed decision. With my personal help and guidance,  we can make the appropriate determination about what type of treatment is right for YOUR CHILD and only your child.

In our office I promise no revolving door of dentists because its just me and I like it that way!. I alone treat every child  in the office- I treat them the same way I treat my own children, utilizing the most conservative approach possible, because quite frankly, they are baby teeth and they are gonna fall out! 

Remember, there is no substitute for 29 years of experience and a conservative approach.  

Dr Rich

Dr. Rich Shulman grew up in Plainview NY, not far from where his office is now located. He always wanted to be a children’s dentist.  After graduating from Plainview Kennedy in 1983, he attended SUNY Albany, where  in 1987 he graduated with a BS degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry.  Dr. Rich  continued on to get his dental degree at New Jersey Dental School in 1991.  He received his specialty certificate in Pediatric Dentistry from Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx in 1993, and was asked to continue there as a part time faculty member. He maintained his teaching position, and private practice in Plainview NY until the time demands of private practice no longer allowed.

Dr Rich now lives in Northern Westchester, in the town of Waccabuc with his wife, two daughters and two sons.  He cuts his own grass, does his own electrical work, plumbing , woodworking, and everything else a dentist shouldn’t do with his hands. (He also has much less hair now than in this photo but let’s keep that between us…….)
