Urbana Pediatric Dentistry

Urbana Pediatric Dentistry The UPD team takes an honest, compassionate, and joyful approach to treating our patients.

Urbana Pediatric Dentistry is located in Ijamsville, MD and is committed to delivering exceptional dental care for all infants, toddlers, children and adolescents, including those with special health care needs and complex medical histories. As a Pediatric Dental Specialist & Diplomate of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Dina believes setting the stage of oral and overall health be

gins at birth, and focuses her practice on prevention, wellness, and growth & development. Since dental decay progresses much faster in baby teeth than in adult teeth, we encourage regular visits to the dentist starting at age one. It’s in these pivotal visits that our team teaches kids (and their parents!) lifelong healthy oral care habits through that focus on preventative care. We offer top notch information & services to our patients and their families to prevent tooth decay, catch restorative issues early on, and to build a positive association with dental visits. We want all of our patients to have a life full of peace, love, and healthy teeth.

For many parents of children with special health care needs, finding the right dental home can feel overwhelming. 🌿

You may have experienced offices that moved too quickly, environments that felt overwhelming, or providers who didn't fully understand your child's unique needs.

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and celebrated. That's why our office was thoughtfully designed to support children with a wide range of medical, developmental, sensory, and behavioral needs.

With patience, clinical expertise, and genuine compassion, we strive to create positive dental experiences that help children and families feel comfortable and confident.

A child’s dental experience begins long before treatment starts. 🌿

The lighting, colors, sounds, and overall feeling of a space all influence how safe and comfortable a child feels during their visit.

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, we designed our office intentionally to feel calm, warm, and welcoming rather than clinical or overwhelming. Soft lighting, gentle colors, playful details, and cozy spaces all work together to help children feel more relaxed and confident.

Because when children feel comfortable in their environment, trust grows more naturally—and positive dental experiences become easier to build.

The little details matter more than most people realize. 💛

Dental visits feel very different for children when they feel included, supported, and understood. 🌿

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, we help children feel more in control by explaining things in a gentle, age-appropriate way, moving at their pace, and creating an environment where questions and feelings are always welcome.

Sometimes confidence grows through big moments, and sometimes it grows through very small ones — sitting in the chair, opening wide, or simply trying again.

When children feel safe and involved in their care, positive experiences begin to replace fear.

After fluoride treatment, a few simple steps can help the fluoride work its magic. 🌿

We recommend avoiding food and drinks for about 30 minutes after the appointment. Cool water is usually fine, but warm foods and drinks should wait a little longer.

Some children may notice the taste or texture afterward, even with fun flavors. A little reassurance goes a long way—fluoride helps strengthen teeth and protect growing smiles from cavities.

Small moments like these help build healthy habits that last. 💛

Hearing the words “baby root canal” can sound intimidating for parents. 🌿

A pulpotomy is a treatment sometimes recommended when a cavity in a baby tooth reaches the inner part of the tooth, called the pulp, where the nerves and blood vessels are located.

Because decay can spread quickly in baby teeth, treating the problem early helps prevent pain, infection, and discomfort while also helping preserve the tooth until it’s ready to fall out naturally.

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, we take time to explain every recommendation clearly and guide families through treatment in a calm, supportive, and gentle way.

Our goal is always to protect your child’s comfort, confidence, and long-term oral health.

Sedation dentistry can feel overwhelming for parents, especially when it’s something your child may need for the first time. 🌿

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, we want families to feel informed, supported, and reassured every step of the way.

When sedation or general anesthesia is recommended, your child’s safety is our top priority. We carefully review your child’s medical history, collaborate with experienced anesthesia teams, and continuously monitor your child throughout treatment.

For many children, sedation allows dental care to be completed safely, comfortably, and in a way that also protects their emotional well-being.

Preparation also makes a difference. Children often take emotional cues from their parents, which is why calm reassurance, positive language, and familiar comfort items can help create a smoother experience.

Our goal is always the same: thoughtful care that helps your child feel safe, supported, and comfortable.

Mother’s Day is almost here, and I wanted to take a moment to celebrate the incredible moms in our community. 💛

The ones who remind their kids to brush, who comfort them when they feel nervous, who sit beside them during visits, and who do a thousand little things every day to care for their children.

So much of what we see in the office starts at home — the encouragement, the routines, the love, and the patience.

You are doing more than you realize, and it shows in your children’s smiles.

Wishing all of our Urbana Pediatric Dentistry moms a beautiful and meaningful Mother’s Day weekend. 🌿

May is Save Your Tooth Month, and it’s a great reminder that baby teeth play a bigger role than many people realize. 🌿

If a tooth is affected by decay or injury, restoring it early helps protect your child’s comfort and supports proper development. Baby teeth act as guides for permanent teeth, so keeping them healthy helps everything grow and align the way it should.

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, we take a thoughtful and gentle approach to restorative care, always focusing on what’s best for your child’s long-term oral health.

Because saving teeth today helps support healthy smiles for the future.
