Meet the newest member of the Dental Sedation Centers team, Pediatric Dentist Dr. Ryan Jelicich, or “Dr. J.”
In this episode of Calm in the Chair, Ryan Ruff sits down with Dr. J to explore his journey into pediatric dentistry, his philosophy for working with children and families, and what his arrival means for the expanding capabilities of Dental Sedation Centers.
Dr. J explains why treating children requires earning the trust of both the child and their parents, how he approaches young patients who are nervous or afraid, and why establishing positive dental experiences early can make future visits easier.
The conversation also covers when children should begin seeing a dentist, what parents can do at home to encourage good oral health, and why early intervention can sometimes help prevent more invasive treatment later.
Plus, Dr. J explains when sedation or general anesthesia may be appropriate for certain pediatric patients and how working alongside a Dental Anesthesiologist and the broader DSC specialty team creates new possibilities for comprehensive care.
For parents who have struggled to find the right dental environment for their child, Dr. J has a simple message:
“You’ve kind of found a home.”
