Ear Piercing
Oak Park Pediatrics offers ear piercing under the supervision of a qualified doctor. To reduce the risk of allergic reactions, we use sterile piercing equipment, and only use hypoallergenic, 14K gold plated earrings. The providers also take extra care and time to ensure that every family is satisfied with their ear piercing placement.

Frequently Asked Questions:
At what age can I have my child's ear pierced?
The Pediatricians at Oak Park Pediatrics suggest waiting for your child to reach three months or older before piercing their ears.
What can I expect during an ear piercing appointment?
Before your child receives his ear piercing, your doctor will describe the ear piercing procedure. Moving forward with the piercing, your provider cleans the area with alcohol and marks the area where the earrings will be placed, ensuring they are even and to the parents’ satisfaction. Once the piercing is complete, your child’s doctor shows you how to care for the earrings at home to prevent infection or the closure of the piercing. The parent will also receive a cleaning solution to apply to the ear piercing site.
