Our caring pediatric dentist and team offer a wide range of services to help children enjoy healthy mouths, and we are specially trained to put children at ease. We love welcoming children to Colmar Dentistry for Kids. Our friendly and colorful office has a variety of toys, Legos, stuffed animals, and other entertainment options in the waiting room, and Dr. Kathryn Leahey has a large collection of movies. Many children enjoy visiting us so much that they don’t want to leave!

Pediatric dentists are specialists, and have received 2-3 years of additional training following dental school. This training enables our pediatric dentist to handle the behavioral aspects of children’s dental care, help children feel comfortable, and make their experience at the dentist pleasant so that they develop positive associations with dental care and trusting relationships with our dental professionals. This specialization also allows pediatric dentists to treat patients with special needs.

One of the most important aspects of pediatric dentistry is teaching children about proper oral care. When you bring your child to our practice, our dentist and team will work with both you and your child to help your child learn how to take care of their teeth so that they can enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile throughout their entire life.

The American Association of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit a pediatric dentist for the first time as soon as their first teeth erupt, or at about the time of their first birthday.

We invite you to call us at 267-209-6930 to learn more about pediatric dentistry and schedule your child’s appointment with Dr. Kathryn Leahey. We look forward to helping your child smile!
