Our Cincinnati Pediatric Dentistry Office
Our Philosophy
We believe working with children is privilege and an honor and we treat our patients as if they were our own family. Our hope is that our office is a place where kids feel safe and cared for. We have been told many times that our patients are “giddy with excitement” before their visits!
Dr. Lambert and his staff are committed to using the most innovative and effective approaches to caring for your child. We keep up with the latest techniques through continuing education and use the latest in cutting-edge technology. We believe in open communication with both patient and parents and will always partner with our families to make the best treatment plans for our patients.
We know that by laying the foundation for excellent early oral health, we are making a difference in a child’s life and forming good habits that last throughout adulthood.
Mission Statement
Our Purpose: To create a dental experience that prepares kids for a lifetime of healthy dental visits and happy smiles.
Our Beliefs:
• Working with children is a privilege and an honor.
• We must be a place where kids feel loved and cared for.
• We can make a difference in a child's life.
• Dental disease is treatable. It is an infectious process, not a hole in a tooth.
• The best dentistry is proactive, not reactive.
• Pediatric dentistry involves much more than teeth.
• We are committed to seeking out the most innovative
and effective approaches to patient care.
Appointments
Your scheduled appointment time has been reserved specifically for you. We request 24-hours notice if you need to cancel your appointment. We are aware that unforeseen events sometimes require missing an appointment. After missing your second appointment without notifying us 24 hours in advance, you are subject to being charged an additional fee.
Financing & Insurance
Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services and allow them 45 days to render payment. After 60 days, you are responsible for the entire balance, paid-in-full. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.
See dental appointments differently.
First Visit
Along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend that a child’s first dental visit be scheduled by his/her 1st birthday. It is very important to make the first visit as positive and enjoyable for the child as possible. We want your child to enjoy getting to know our doctors and staff and be comfortable at all times. A pleasant, comfortable first visit builds trust and helps put the child at ease during future dental visits. Let the child know that the doctors and staff will explain everything in detail and will answer any questions he/she has. Children should be encouraged to discuss any fears or anxiety they feel.
Parents should not make a big deal out of the visit and refrain from using any words that could cause unnecessary fear, such as “needle” or “drill.” We are experienced in dealing with children with anxiety and can explain treatment procedures in a positive and pleasant manner to avoid any anxious or negative feelings toward dentistry.
We will record the child’s dental and medical history, complete a comprehensive examination and discuss any findings with you. We will also review the importance of maintaining a good dental health program with you and your child to ensure a healthy and beautiful smile for life!

Pediatric Dentistry
Dr. Lambert is a Board Certified Pediatric Dental Specialist.
Pediatric Dentistry is the dental specialty recognized by the American Dental Association which encompasses comprehensive dental care for all children, from infancy through adolescence. A children’s dental specialist is a practitioner who, after becoming a general dentist (often called a family dentist), has completed an additional two years of post-doctoral training in the recognition and treatment of children’s dental and orthodontic problems. Specialty education includes child psychology, behavior guidance, preventive techniques, restorative dentistry, interceptive and comprehensive orthodontic care (braces), and the treatment of children with special needs.
A thorough exam will be done to evaluate the health of your child’s teeth, gums and mouth. We will evaluate your child's growth and development and check to make sure your child's oral development is on track. Our office will make child specific recommendations for the need of sealants, fluoride and other services based on your child's individual needs and habits.
Dr. Lambert is trained to evaluate proper positioning of teeth and jaw structures, checking for the influence of any habits your child may have.
We strive to make each visit fun, educational and memorable for you and your child.

You'll be surprised by how much fun they have.
“Absolutely wonderful for kids! From the moment you walk in the door until the moment you walk out, this place is wonderful! Various games (including a racing arcade game), activities, and books are available for kids in the waiting room. Although, you probably won't wait very long. The hygienists and the doctor and super friendly and have great social skills with the kids! The kids not only get to watch movies during cleanings, they get sunglasses if the light bothers them, followed by a balloon animal and a token for a prize of their choice. My kids LOVE to go to the dentist since we started here! As someone who has always hated dental visits, I couldn't be happier!

“I've been taking my kids to Dr. Lambert for 15 years. The atmosphere is great, the kids like every one of the assistants and Dr. Lambert too. It makes a huge difference when your kids feel comfortable at the dentist!”
~ Priscilla on Google
“The waiting room has toys that my son didn't want to stop playing with (wooden train table, arcade-style car racing game, etc.) and the entire building interior is decorated in an Animal Kingdom style. There are TVs hanging from the ceiling, angled toward the child lying in the chair. The dental hygienist is great with balloon animals, and my son loved picking out a sticker and a toothbrush to take home...
Dr. Lambert came by to check on my son's teeth and he was extremely cheerful, kind, and understanding. He was open to any questions I had as a parent who is obsessed with dental hygiene, and made us all feel welcome and comfortable.”
