Sound familiar?
Most families find Dr. Ray at one of these moments.
Every one of those starts the same way: a calm first visit and a dentist who explains what's next.
What you can count on from Dr. Ray
Here's what that looks like, starting with the very first visit.
A dentist trained just for kids
Pediatric dentists train at least two more years after dental school, focused only on children. Dr. Ray completed her pediatric dentistry training at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Kids who leave smiling
She loves the funny, unbelievably cute stories her patients tell her, and parents notice. If your child is nervous, here's how we help anxious kids.
You leave knowing what's going on
Parents say she and her team take the time to explain what they're doing and talk to the child, not just the parent.
Braces later, same practice
RPDO is a pediatric dental practice and an orthodontic practice. If your child ever needs braces or early orthodontic care, our orthodontists already have their X-rays and history in the chart.
What parents say about Dr. Ray
In their own words.
“Dr. Ray and her dental team have made my daughter feel completely comfortable at every appointment, whether it was a regular cleaning, an extraction or filling. They take their time to explain what they're going to do, speak to the child, not just the parent...”
Meredith, parent review
“Dr. Eddleton and team were very professional and kind. My son is nervous about going to the dentist. Staff was patient and explained in detail before his cleaning and flossing.”
Otelia, parent review
