About Us

Pink Artificial Flower

Our doctors have over 50 years of combined experience in pediatric dental care and are active members of the American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Iowa Academy of Pediatric Dentists, Academy of Dentistry for Persons with Disabilities, American Orthodontic Society, and the International College of Dentists.

After completing a four year dental school curriculum, the pediatric dentist completes two to three years of additional training in child psychology, dental growth and development, sedation, hospital dentistry, interceptive orthodontics (bite problems) and behavior management. The doctors know how to calm anxious children, gain their trust, and make each visit pleasant.
