If you live in a city, you could have many pediatric dentists to choose from. DenScore will help you find the best pediatric dentist so you can get the most appropriate and affordable care.

What is a pediatric dentist and when should I see one?

Pediatric dentists are trained to manage the oral health needs of infants, children, teenagers and special needs patients. Pediatric dentists not only provide preventive treatments to protect against dental diseases but also perform fillings, baby root canals, crowns, extractions, and often play an active role in managing children’s orthodontic care. If children have complex dental needs or experience significant fear or anxiety about visiting the dentist, parents should consider taking them to a pediatric dentist.

How does DenScore determine who the best pediatric dentists are?

DenScore rates pediatric dentists based on clinical qualifications, patient satisfaction, scheduling flexibility, and other criteria. While pediatric dentists may request inclusion in our directories, they are thoroughly vetted and must meet our strict quality control standards to be listed. Some of the pediatric dentists listed below may pay for a sponsored listing or agree to put a DenScore badge on their website in order to be recognized, but they are held to the same strict quality control guidelines as every other provider on this list. Whether you choose a pediatric dentist from this list or not, we always recommend doing your own research beforehand. For more information, please refer to our Terms of Service.

Will dental insurance cover visits to a pediatric dentist?

Most dental insurance plans cover pediatric dental procedures, but expensive treatments like orthodontic care are often only partially covered. However, children who qualify for Medicaid may receive more comprehensive coverage, depending on the state.

How can I save money when my child sees the pediatric dentist?

​​To save money on your child’s dental care, make sure they are added to your dental insurance plan or enrolled in Medicaid if your family qualifies. Pediatric dentists charge varying rates for treatments, so we recommend contacting multiple offices to compare prices. Another cost-saving option is visiting a dental school. While appointments may take longer and care is provided by supervised student dentists, the cost is often much lower than what private practice or pediatric dentists typically charge for similar services.

What else do I need to know before my child sees a pediatric dentist?

Depending on the procedure, your child may have the option to see either a general dentist or a pediatric dentist. While most general dentists are equipped to handle children’s dental needs, pediatric dentists often have advanced training and typically provide a more child-friendly clinical environment. They also usually offer more anesthesia options, either in their office or in a hospital setting, to ensure your child’s comfort during treatment.
