Melo Larry J DDS

My oldest son was traumatized by the pediatric dentist we took him to when he was a toddler, they didn’t allow parents in the exam room & actually strapped him down for the cleaning. After that I started taking him to Dr. Ruddy & they were amazing!!! They let my son get comfortable with the equipment on his own terms, they had to use a toothbrush instead of the polishing instrument the first couple of times but after a few visits with the staff letting him ask questions & ‘try’ the polisher & suction on his arm & letting him watch them clean my teeth he had zero problems going to the dentist. They worked with us as a family to make the dentist a great expierence for him. He’s almost 20 now & enjoys getting his teeth every 6 months. Thank you for your patience & kindness!!!

Doctore Mello and his whole staff are wonderful, caring, professional people. They make you feel relaxed and from the itme you go in the door. I have some serious issues with my mouth and teeth, Dr. Mello went over and above assuring me and making sure things would make me comfortable and done correctly. I used to be scared to death to go to a dentist, now I am relaxed and confident! Thank you Dr. Mello and your whole staff. Ann Fical
