At Pawsitive Pediatric Dentistry, our care is centered on kids, families, and trust. As an associate, you will provide the full range of everyday pediatric dentistry — exams, cleanings, fluoride, sealants, and radiographs, as well as fillings, stainless steel crowns, strip crowns, space maintenance, pulp therapy, and uncomplicated extractions. We also emphasize minimally invasive options such as silver diamine fluoride, the Hall technique, and more. Nitrous oxide is available for patient comfort, and we care for children under general anesthesia through our privileges at Hershey Medical Center. Bioclear systems are also available if you would like to use them.

Just as important, you can expect plenty of laughter and fun along the way. We take dentistry very seriously, but we do not always take ourselves seriously. We embrace being silly to help kids feel at ease — because a playful spirit goes hand in hand with building trust and making visits positive.
