Why Choose A Pediatric Dentist?

What Is A Board Certified Pediatric Dentist?

From their first tooth to their first day in college, board certified pediatric dentists are committed to equipping your child with excellent oral habits while providing tailored care so their smile can grow bright and strong.

While all dentists must achieve a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree, pediatric dentists pursue additional years of education through a postgraduate pediatric residency program. But at this point, they are just pediatric dentists. Board Certified Pediatric Dentists are even one step further. This requires an additional examination process to complete. Then, thereafter, there is annual required training for renewal by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

As a board certified pediatric dentist, you can trust that Dr. Dan provides compassionate and ever-evolving expertise to nurture your child’s developing grin.

Absolutely AMAZING experience! We called with an emergency, our 12 year old got hit in the face with a baseball. Dr Dan was incredible. Got everything fixed for now and did very well explaining to us what to expect and next steps.

Happy Parent

Dr. Dan is so good with the kids and was very fast at removing a cavity. It was over before we knew it and he was very kind and understanding with my son. So fun and patient.

Happy Parent

Dr. Dan is so great! He took the time to make my 4 yo get comfortable before doing his exam. He addressed all the concerns I had. He also did the exam quickly yet thoroughly for my not so cooperative 1 yo.
