Ear Piercing




Ear piercing is available to our patients. For 
infants, we suggest waiting until the child is 
at least 4 months of age. We use the 
Blomdahl Medical Piercing System, a sterile 
procedure using a state of the art medical 
plastic ear stud. We prefer this system 
because there is absolutely no nickel metal, 
therefore we don't see the metal allergy 
that can develop even with 24k gold 
earrings. We suggest that the earring stay in 
place for six weeks to provide for full 
maturation of the piercing site.



You may want to give your child some 
acetaminophen/Tylenol before coming in for 
the piercing (please check Dosing Chart on our 
website for dosage of Tylenol). We will have 
you mark your child's ear with a special 
marker for the preferred piercing site.



The charge for this procedure is $60 and 
must be paid for by check or cash; we cannot 
file insurance for you. This must be paid 
before the procedure is begun.



Ear Piercing is done by Drs. Brown and Starr.

Please note that we can only provide this service to existing patients in our practice.
