Why a Pediatric Dentist?

Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of teeth. They obtain specialty training in the specific needs of children just as pediatricians do.

With additional years of advanced training, a pediatric dentist sees babies, toddlers, children, and teenagers – including those with special needs. Just as a pediatrician develops his or her special talents, skills and knowledge for working with children’s bodily health, a pediatric dentist does the same to more effectively manage a child’s dental health.

As a licensed Pediatric Dentist, Dr. Patty has developed a specialized and patient centric approach to working with children. She and her team only work with kids – each and every day. We understand that a visit to the dentist can be intimidating for both the parents and the little ones. As a children’s only dental office, Happy Grins Pediatric Dentistry offers a unique dental experience designed to alleviate fear. We place your child’s dental health and patient experience in the highest regard, from our carefully designed office and amenities, to our conservative approach which utilizes the most current advances in pediatric dentistry.
