Going to the dentist is not something kids normally look forward to. Here at Cumberland Valley Pediatric Dentistry we wanted to change that negative stigma around the dentist. We believe in making the dentist office an enjoyable environment for kids as they begin their oral healthcare journey. Creating a fun and comfortable space for our kids to enjoy while they get dental work done will help ease fears and can even help going to the dentist be something that kids look forward to. From the banking vault to the tooth fairy booth to air hockey and even the design of the main lobby we put an incredible amount of care to create an awesome space for our patients. Please feel free to check out our office tour video above and pictures below. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to us!

Everyone was very friendly and welcoming! My 1 year old had his first appointment and although he did cry, it wasn't nearly as much as I thought it would be and they did the checkup very fast! I would highly recommend taking your kids here!

The entire staff was excellent. Took my 3 month old in for a lip tie consultation. The front desk was wonderful - they answered all my questions thoroughly and helped me get everything set up quickly. Dr. Caster did a thorough consultation and explained all the different options available for my daughter's care. I especially appreciated their goal of avoiding any unnecessary procedures. They provide quality, valuable care and I look forward to continuing to work with them.

I am very pleased with the quality of care my 3-year old son receives each time he has an appointment. The atmosphere is so kid friendly and welcoming that my son actually enjoys going to the dentist. The dental hygienists and dentist are very professional and kind. I truly could not ask for a better place!

Our Dentist today was so patient and thorough. My son, diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety with OCD, and Autism struggled through the procedure. They (dentist and hygienist) played games to distract him during the local shots, took breaks when they recognized he needed them, and gave options when he seemed too overwhelmed. They took their time and HE was the only patient they were focused on, rather than worrying about getting the procedure done. They were able to "read" his emotions and needs throughout the procedure. I am so happy we made the change to this practice. As a mom of a son with special needs, and a special education professional- I was not worried - instead- I was Comforted by the care and awareness these professionals had for my son. It mirrored the care and awareness I would have as a mom. If I could give MORE than 5 stars, I would.

My initial contact and referral to the facility was a rough start, that's the only reason for 4/5. The hygienist and dentist were amazing with my daughter. The facility is very clean and the staff was very kind and helpful. I'm confident my daughter will continue to have a great experience at this practice.

This was my son's first visit to the dentist (on his 3rd birthday, no less) and he felt SO comfortable. From the receptionists to the Dental Hygienist, to the Dentist, everyone was so patient and kind. My son left feeling confident, happy, and I even got an " I can't wait to go back!" Wonderful first impression. Thank you all!
