Hello!! Meet our Team!

Dr. Jennifer Ketchel was born in Fort Worth and lived there until she finished junior high and high school in Arlington. She graduated from Texas A&M University with a bachelor’s degree in biology before attending dental school at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. After graduating with her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), she completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at Baylor College of Dentistry. She practiced general dentistry in the Dallas area for four years. During this time, she also attended training at the LD Pankey Institute in Florida. Always having a love for treating children, she decided to return to school and complete her specialty training in pediatric dentistry. She attended the University of Illinois in Chicago, obtaining her certificate in pediatric dentistry and receiving a Master’s Degree in oral sciences. After living and practicing in the Chicago area for five years, Dr. Ketchel and her family returned to the Dallas/Fort Worth area in 2010.

Dr. Ketchel is a board certified pediatric dentist and a diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. She is also a member of the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, Fort Worth District Dental Society, and her local pediatric dental study group. Dr. Jennifer Ketchel opened Arlington Pediatric Dentistry in 2012. APD serves the community by providing children with excellent dental care along with educating them to maintain a life-long healthy smile.

Dr. Ketchel lives in Arlington with her husband, son and daughter. She is a former competitive amateur ballroom dancer who enjoys cooking, reading, and traveling.

Ever wonder what permanent teeth look on the XRAY?
Look at these little wonders!

A Pano X-ray gives us a complete picture of your child's smile—all in one image! It allows us to see much more than what's visible during a regular exam, including:

• How permanent teeth are developing
• Teeth that haven't erupted yet
• Jaw growth and development
• Extra or missing teeth
• Impacted teeth that may need attention later
• Early signs of problems before they become bigger concerns

The best part? It's quick, comfortable, and helps us plan for a healthy smile as your child grows.

Every child develops at their own pace, and a Pano X-ray gives our team valuable information to make sure their smile is on the right track. Catching potential issues early often means simpler treatment and better outcomes down the road.

We are wishing you all the VERY BEST new school year!!Let's GO 2026-2027!!
