I've known Dr. Zaki for almost a decade, and I can confidently say he is kind, patient, and incredibly insightful—the exact qualities I'd want in my child's dentist. If you're in the area, you'd be fortunate to have your child cared for by Dr. Zaki and his team.

Dr. Mustacchi is the best pediatric dentist in all of the Lakewood area!!! He’s so patient with the kids. He makes it a memorable and fun experience for him. I never thought my kids would be excited to go to the dentist! And, he takes the time to explain to parents what needs to be done in a way that is clear for everyone to understand.

Doctor Mustacchi is so professional, caring and friendly. My kids started loving the dentist since we started seeing him. Talking about their favorite sports team, while getting work done was definitely distracting and entertaining at once! They can’t wait for the next dental visit!!

I just left my first visit with Dr Mustacchi and I have no words!!! I brought 3 of my kids for a routine checkup. Naturally they were nervous, but Dr Mustacchi made them feel so so comfortable and explained to them what he was doing every step of the way. And My 6 year old (very apprehensive anxiety ridden patient) needed a cavity filled and she didn’t budge while he was working on her. He was so gentle and quick and I feel like I’m rambling but it was the best first visit ever. 10/10 recommended !!!

Digital X-Rays: A Safer Option for Dental Imaging

Digital X-rays have revolutionized the field of dentistry by providing a safer, faster, and more accurate method of imaging teeth and surrounding structures. Compared to traditional film-based X-rays, digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation, making them a safer choice for patients of all ages.
How Digital X-Rays Work

When exposed to X-rays, the sensor or plate converts the radiation into an electronic signal, which is then displayed on a computer screen. This eliminates the need for developing and processing film, reducing the overall exposure time for patients.
Radiation Exposure

The Fluoride Factor: Protecting Children’s Teeth

Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, has been a cornerstone of dental health for decades. It plays a critical role in preventing cavities, particularly in children. Here's why:
Fluoride's Role in Teeth
When fluoride comes into contact with enamel, it is integrated into the tooth to form fluorapatite. This layer of tooth structure is harder and more resistant to bacteria, making it less susceptible to decay. This mineral can be found in various sources, including:

Water: This is the most common and effective way to ensure fluoride exposure in children. Many communities have fluoride in their natural water supply.

Toothpaste: Brushing teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day...
