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.

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.

Dental anxiety is more common than you might think, especially for children experiencing something new or unfamiliar. 🌿

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that every child is different. That’s why Dr. Dina takes a personalized approach, working with each child’s comfort level, personality, and needs to create a positive experience.

With experience treating a wide range of behaviors and access to different treatment options, we’re able to support children in a way that feels calm, safe, and manageable.

Our goal is not just to complete treatment, but to help your child feel confident, supported, and comfortable every step of the way.

Baby teeth may be temporary, but their role is incredibly important. 🌿

Cavities can grow quickly in baby teeth, and when left untreated, they can lead to pain, infection, and discomfort that affects how a child eats, sleeps, learns, and plays.

Healthy baby teeth also help guide permanent teeth into the right position. When they are lost too early due to decay, it can lead to crowding and make oral health more challenging as children grow.

Taking care of baby teeth is about more than preventing cavities. It’s about protecting your child’s comfort, confidence, and overall well-being.

What your child eats matters — but how often they eat matters just as much. 🌿

Sticky, processed, and carbohydrate-rich foods can feed the bacteria that lead to cavities. But even healthy foods, when eaten too frequently, can keep the mouth in an acidic state that increases the risk of decay.

That’s why we recommend structured meals and snacks instead of constant grazing. Giving the mouth time to recover between eating helps protect your child’s teeth and supports long-term oral health.

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, we focus on simple, realistic habits that make a lasting difference.

Children feel more comfortable when they understand what’s happening. 🌿

That’s why we use a simple approach called “Tell, Show, Do” at Urbana Pediatric Dentistry.

First, we tell your child what we’re going to do using clear, gentle language. Then, we show them using tools or demonstrations so they can see and understand. Finally, when they feel ready, we do the step in a calm and supportive way.

This process helps build trust, reduce fear, and create positive dental experiences from the very beginning.

When children feel informed and involved, confidence grows — and that’s how healthy habits begin.

If you’re searching for a pediatric dentist for a lip tie evaluation, you’re likely looking for clarity, reassurance, and the right guidance for your child. 🌿

A board-certified pediatric dentist is uniquely trained to understand not just what a lip tie looks like, but how it functions and how it may impact your child’s feeding, comfort, and development.

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, we take a thoughtful and individualized approach. We start with education, take time to listen to your concerns, and only recommend treatment when it is truly necessary.

Our goal is to make every visit feel calm, supportive, and positive for your child, while helping you feel confident in every decision you make.

And yes, for many children, a visit wouldn’t be complete without a little comfort from Teddi. 🐾💛

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, our philosophy is simple: honest, compassionate, and joyful care. 🌿

We believe in giving families clear, honest guidance so you can make confident decisions for your child. We meet every child with patience and understanding, adjusting our approach to their comfort and needs.

And just as importantly, we focus on creating positive, joyful experiences — because how a child feels at the dentist matters just as much as the care they receive.

That’s why we emphasize prevention early on and encourage visits starting at age one. These early experiences help build trust, confidence, and lifelong healthy habits for both children and parents.

Our goal is to support your child not just today, but for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Not every cavity needs to be treated the same way. 🌿

In some cases, we may recommend Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), a gentle, non-invasive option that helps stop cavities from progressing.

At Urbana Pediatric Dentistry, we use SDF thoughtfully and only when it’s the right fit for your child. It can be especially helpful when we’re working to build comfort, monitor small areas, or safely delay more involved treatment.

Every decision we make is based on your child’s needs, comfort level, and long-term health. And we always take the time to explain your options so you feel confident moving forward.

On World Health Day, it’s a good reminder that oral health is never separate from overall health. 🌿

As a pediatric dentist, I see every day how a child’s smile is connected to so much more — how they eat, how they grow, how they feel, and how confident they are.

Healthy habits like brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits may seem small, but they play a meaningful role in your child’s overall well-being.

Caring for your child’s smile is one of the many ways you’re supporting their health as a whole — and that’s something worth celebrating.

Easter always brings so much joy — the excitement, the traditions, the little moments that turn into lasting memories. 🐣💛

And in between the egg hunts and sweet treats, there’s something I always gently remind my families: it’s the everyday care that truly takes care of your child’s smile.

Not perfectly. Not all at once.
Just consistently, with a little patience and a lot of love.

Because the goal isn’t to take the fun out of days like this — it’s to support the habits that keep those smiles healthy long after the holiday is over.

So enjoy the treats, the laughter, and all the magic that comes with it.
We’ll be here to support the rest. 🌿
