Our dentist has been accused of sexually assaulting a teen. I actually found out when I was going in for an appointment and there were police and a crime scene unit parked there. \u00a0I found out what happened and tore out of there. Now I’ve found out that he’s back practicing the day after being arrested. \u00a0Is that legal? \u00a0I don’t feel safe taking my daughter there. \u00a0Is there a way \u00a0to protect our children at the dentists?<\/p>\n

Concerned mom from Little Rock, AR<\/p>\n

Dear concerned mom,<\/p>\n

I did a quick internet search and found the story you are talking about. \u00a0I can understand you not wanting to take a chance exposing your daughter to a potentially dangerous situation. \u00a0Though do bear in mind that everyone is presumed innocent until proved guilty. \u00a0I’m not saying that to try to guilt you into bringing your daughter. It’s your job to protect your daughter as best you can.<\/p>\n

Before you panic, bear in mind that, by far, the majority ( I would venture to guess 99.9%) of pediatric dentists<\/a> are perfectly safe. \u00a0We want to protect our children without putting them in a bubble. They have to be able to function as adults. \u00a0What I would do \u00a0is get to know your pediatric dentist. \u00a0Some will even let parents back in the operatory. Then, as you get to know him or her, go with your gut. \u00a0A mother’s intuition is a marvelous thing.<\/p>\n
