Dr. Meredith Papadea is a native South Carolinian who grew up in Greenville.
She graduated from Davidson College in Davidson, N.C. with a BS in Biology.
After college, Dr. Meredith attended dental school at the Medical University of South Carolina.
She was awarded an outstanding leadership and academic excellence award by the American Association of Women Dentists.
She completed her Pediatric Dental Residency at MUSC serving as co-chief resident her second year.
Dr. Papadea is a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist.
Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry all recommend establishing a Dental Home for your child by their first birthday.
Children with a dental home are more likely to receive proper preventive care, and routine oral health treatment.
You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive.
Inform your child of the visit and tell them that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions.
The office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience and when time is available.
Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they are fresher and we can work more slowly with them for their comfort.
School children with a lot of work to be done should be seen in the morning for the same reason.
Dental appointments are an excused absence.
Missing school can be kept to a minimum when regular dental care is continued.
Since appointed times are reserved exclusively for each patient we ask that you please notify our office 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment time if you are unable to keep your appointment.
For more information concerning pediatric dentistry, please visit the website for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
The pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school, and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years.
The very young, pre-teens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems.
