Dr. Ashley White is pleased to offer medical ear piercing to the patients at Pediatric Healthcare Associates. She uses the Blomdahl Medical Ear-Piercing System which provides a medically safe way to pierce your child’s ears that is only available to physicians. The Blomdahl system uses a sterile, single-use, disposable cartridge that is replaced with each piercing to prevent the transmission of infection. When having your child’s ears pierced in a medical office, you have professional care from someone trained in medical technique and wound management. It also gives you ready access to medical professionals for any questions, problems, or concerns before, during, or after the procedure. Your child’s piercing information will be a part of your child’s office medical record for our patients. Our Blomdahl earrings are medical grade plastic or Titanium which is recommended with initial piercings. Medical grade plastic prevents allergic reactions.
