Dr. Paul I. Rubin, a board
certified pediatric dentist, completed his pediatric dentistry
residency and internship at Texas A&M University – Baylor College of
Dentistry, and received his D.D.S from University of Texas Health
Science Center in San Antonio. He entered the practice of pediatric
dentistry with a combined interest in both health care and children,
and has worked for many years with kids through camps and community
activities. Dr. Rubin also has extensive experience in working with
children who require special needs through his residency training at
Baylor’s Dental Clinics, Children’s Medical Center and at Texas
Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. In fact, the education of a
pediatric dentist focuses on care for children with special needs,
and the offices are designed to be physically accessible for all
patients.
The field of pediatric dentistry requires specialized training of
two or more years beyond dental school. Dr. Rubin has also
recently completed his Board Certification in Pediatric Dentistry
and is now a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Rubin served as past president of the Texas Academy of Pediatric
Dentistry. Additionally, pediatric dentists such as Dr. Paul Rubin often work
with pediatricians, other physicians, and other dental specialists
in order to best provide the total health care necessary for the
development of a child. Dr. Rubin chose Frisco as the place to open
his business as he recently moved there and wants to become involved
in the community on many levels. He has a special interest in
working with parents as partners in their children’s dental care. “I
intend to run my practice and treat my patients in a manner in which
I want my own kids to be treated,” Dr. Rubin states.
He has placed a tremendous focus in his practice on
Preventive/Proactive Dentistry, which encompasses working with
parents and increasing their “Dental IQ.” Dr. Rubin wants to
increase awareness and help educate parents in anticipatory guidance
of pediatric dental care in areas such as oral development, fluoride
adequacy, oral hygiene and health, oral habits, nutrition, diet, and
injury prevention. “Parents are not always aware of the effect of
nutritional issues, thumb-sucking, nail-biting and other oral habits
may have on the development of teeth and gums,” says Dr. Rubin. “ It
is our job to provide the information and monitoring for the parents
to institute appropriate habits and a track record for good dental
health throughout a child’s life.”
Dr. Rubin has experience in hospital dentistry and in working with special needs children including work at both Children’s Medical Center and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital. Hospital dentistry often entails extensive procedures including restorative and cosmetic work under general anesthesia, in an operating room environment. Special needs children have specific requirements, and Dr. Rubin has spent many hours of procedural work in hospitals and clinics with these children, working very closely with parents and the patients. He understands the need for a strong doctor/patient relationship and this partnership begins with the first visit and continues throughout the span of treatment.
"Proud parents of Sam and Natalie Rubin makes sure that daddy's toothbrushing skills are put to the test every day at home (two times!!!)."
Dr. Rubin was selected for the past four years in Texas Monthly as a "Super Dentist" and by D Magazine the last two years as one of "The Best Dentists in Dallas". (see article below). Dr. Rubin is also involved in children's dentistry in other capacities on a local, regional, and statewide positions by serving as a co-founder to the Greater Dallas Pediatric Dental Society, organizing and participating in the North Dallas Dental Society's "Give Kids A Smile", serving on the Executive Board of the Texas Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and he is the President of the Texas Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
