Pediatric Dentistry
Your kids deserve a dentist they’re not afraid of
We see children starting at age 3 and we've spent years building a practice where they actually feel comfortable.
From the team, to the tools, to the pace of every visit, it's all designed around them.
“My daughter absolutely loves the staff — super sweet and patient.”

WHAT TO EXPECT
Most kids aren’t afraid of the dentist… they’re afraid of a bad experience
There’s a difference and it matters more than most people realize.
A child who feels safe during their first few visits may be more likely to take care of their teeth for life. One who feels rushed or scared tends to avoid the dentist, even into adulthood.
We see adults dealing with that every week, and we don’t want that for your kid.

What makes us different for kids
“They take the time to explain each step for my children and ensure it's a good experience every time. So grateful for Pruden Family Dentistry.”

We explain everything before we do it. We slow down when a child needs it. We don't rush, we don't talk over them, and we don't treat a nervous six-year-old like an inconvenience.

The anxiety bag
For the fidgety kids (and the fidgety adults), we keep a bag stocked with stress balls and fidget toys. Small things — but they make a real difference in how a visit feels.
One office for the whole family
Because we see the whole family, your kids can come in at the same time you do. One office, one team — one less thing on your plate.

Questions we hear from parents
My child is really anxious about the dentist.
We hear this all the time. Our team handles anxious kids every day. We go slow, communicate constantly, and never push further than a child is ready to go.
How young is too young?
We see children starting at age 3. Early visits are short, simple, and mostly about getting comfortable with the experience. The earlier kids start, the more normal it feels.
What does it cost?
We're in-network with Delta Dental Premier, select Cigna plans, and United Concordia Elite.
Financing is available through Sunbit and CareCredit on all services. We also offer dental plans that start at $34 per month.
We go over costs before we do anything… no surprise bills.
Good dental habits start early. So does finding the right dentist.
"The team was AMAZING with both of my kids. So patient with my babies. I'm so thankful we found this place."
