Description

All dental specialists (pediatric dentists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and others) begin by completing dental school, then continue their education with several years of additional, specialized training. During training in the field of pediatric dentistry, your doctor gained extensive knowledge and experience in treating infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric dentists enjoy working with children and bring to each patient our expertise in childhood development and behavior. Because our office is geared toward young visitors, you'll find that our staff, as well as our office design, decorations and activities, all work together to provide an especially friendly and comfortable environment for children.

If we are combining the first two visits for your child, we ask that you remain in the reception area while we do the cleaning and fluoride. Dr. Gerald Weaver, Dr. Michael Stratton or Dr. Robert Weaver will then give you a progress report. For the remaining appointments, the parents will remain in the reception area. We have found, and studies substantiate this, that children tend to do better in the dental situation without their parents present. We ask that you allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience. We are all highly experienced in helping children overcome anxiety. Separation anxiety is not uncommon in children, so please try not to be concerned if your child exhibits negative behavior. This is normal and will soon diminish. Studies and experience have shown that most children over the age of three react more positively when permitted to experience the dental visit on their own and in an environment designed for children. This allows the child to concentrate solely on what the dentist says. Likewise, it allows the dentist to concentrate only on your child.

Dr. Stone has practiced pediatric anesthesiology for over 21 years at The Wolfson Children's Hospital where he served as Director of the Pediatric Anesthesia Department, Director of Outpatient Surgical Services, Director of Pain Management Services and was a founding member of the Division of Anesthesiology of The Nemours Children's Clinic.

At Weaver and Stratton Pediatric Dentistry, we’ve been serving the infants, children and teenagers of the Orange Park and Jacksonville areas for over 30 years. Your child’s health and happiness are our highest priorities.

Weaver and Stratton Pediatric Dentistry is dedicated to improving the lives of children through better dental health. We actively seek partnerships with local schools to help educate children about oral hygiene.
