Originally from Toms River, New Jersey, Dr. Michael P. Marfori knew at an early age that dentistry was in his future. From high school, he was accepted into an intensive seven-year joint college/dental school program. He completed three years of undergraduate studies at Villanova University, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology.
He attended dental school at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, earning a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. After graduation from dental school, Dr. Marfori entered a general practice residency at Miami Children's Hospital in Miami, Florida. Working extensively on pediatric cases, Dr. Marfori was greatly inspired to continue his training to become specialized in pediatric dentistry.
He then completed a two-year pediatric residency program at the University of Florida. In 1997, Dr. Marfori opened his pediatric dental practice in Hunter's Creek. Managing a thriving career and a growing family, he completed accredited training and a thorough examination process to attain board certification with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

Innumerable studies and research have concluded on the importance of starting children early in their lives with good dental hygiene and oral care.
According to research, the most common chronic childhood disease in America is tooth decay, affecting 50 percent of first-graders and 80 percent of 17-year-olds.
Early treatment prevents problems affecting a child's health, well-being, self-image and overall achievement.
The National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research estimates that children will miss 52 million hours of school each year due to oral health problems and about 12.5 million days of restricted activity every year from dental symptoms.

Normally the first tooth erupts between ages 6 to 12 months.
Gums are sore, tender and sometimes irritable until the age of 3. Rubbing sore gums gently with a clean finger, the back of a cold spoon or a cold, wet cloth helps soothe the gums.
Teething rings work well, but avoid teething biscuits-they contain sugar that is not good for baby teeth.
While your baby is teething, it is important to monitor the teeth for signs of baby bottle decay.
Examine the teeth, especially on the inside or the tongue side, every two weeks for dull spots (whiter than the tooth surface) or lines.
