Dr. Pollina was born and raised in the Northland. He received his Pediatric Dental degree from UMKC. He was top in his class and graduated with honors. Dr. Pollina is the owner of the practice and has a vision of providing services to the community through a safe and comfortable environment that educates families and community partners on good oral health practices. He is committed to providing access to care for all patients and utilizing the current technology and education to deliver these services.
Dr. Pollina is married and has 4 beautiful children that are very active. His favorite part of childrens dentistry is being able to engage in his patients and families lives and building a relationship and trust with them. In his spare time he enjoys spending time with his children and working on classic muscle cars.
First off, full disclosure I am a dentist at Comfort Dental in Gladstone. My little girl got cavities. (yes as a dentist I was embarrassed because i brush her teeth every night and morning.) But I understand that despite that, kids can get cavities. I would have done her work myself but when its your kid its very hard to do their dental work. When I took my little girl to Dr. Pollina he was amazing! All i wanted was for her to have a good experience and to get better. His gentle nature and care for children showed in how my daughter reacted.
She loves her bubble nose (that means the bubble gum flavored mask for the nitrous gas.) She still wears it for fun and asks if she can go back to the dentist. She is so proud that her dad is a dentist who helps people when there teeth hurt. When i get home she says Dad, did you fix peoples teeth? and I say yes I did. Then she gives me a hug. If you have a child that needs dental work go to Dentistry for children. If you are an adult come see me ;).
Dr. Roeber gladly joined Dentistry For Children in 2010. She received her Pediatric Dental Degree at the University of Nebraska and then proceeded to get her board certification in Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Roebers favorite part of working with children is being able to educate the patients and parents on their oral health. Also, she loves building life-long relationships with each patient to help them realize how amazing they truly are. She is married and has two daughters, Iliana and Neva. In her spare time she enjoys playing with her children and spending time with family and friends. She enjoys cooking with her husband and going to the park with her girls. She is a die-hard Royals fan, but also loves Husker football too.
Thank you Dentistry for Children and Dr. Roeber! Garrett had a rough go as you know. You and your staff never lost patience with him and got the exam done. Thank you for taking such good care of him! Jan 2017 Facebook review

I absolutely love Dr.Aaron. One of the things i love about him is that he walks my daughter step by step on the process of what hes doing. She is 3 so i feel like its a must do when working with toddlers or infants. I would recommend him with any kid. Hes super friendly and always makes my girls feel at home. I have a good visit every single time. Jan 2019 Google Business Review
Dr. Walden-Pollina looks forward to educating her teen patients with their oral health care. She also enjoys getting to know her adolescent patients interest and struggles. They are at a great age where they are on the cusp of discovering who they are and we get to be a part of it.
Dr. Walden-Pollina is married and has 4 beautiful children, 2 girl and 2 boys in between the ages of 12-21 years old. In her spare time, she enjoys watching her childrens youth sporting events, such as track, volleyball, tennis, and football. She is always up for trying new restaurants and destinations with her family.
We love Dr. Walden at Dentistry for Children. After having a bad experience at our previous dentist my teen daughter refused to go back. So I was on the search for a new dentist. I am so glad that we found Dr. Walden she truly cares about each patient and makes sure that they are comfortable and not a nervous wreck. March 2018 Facebook review

I will never take my child anywhere else! They work with my child's needs, never push him, just gentle steps to get him what is needed to keep him healthy.

We have a 6yr old autistic child who is terrified of the dentist and has only been able to be seen by a dentist while under sedation...until now! Rachelle was very patient and kind with our son and didn't ever do anything he wasn't comfortable with. Dr Pollina was professional, understanding and made us feel heard.

Works like a well-oiled machine. You arrive at the wall outside while you are still in your car there is a phone number you call before going in. Confirm your arrival. Let them know who the patient is. Then when the patient's turn for the dentist to see a member of the office will come out to escort your patients inside the building while adults stay outside until further notice you cannot leave the property while patients are inside having work done.

My son is autistic and getting him to go to any type of medical appointment can be a challenge. Dentistry For Children is one of the few places he doesn't put up much of a fight to come to. That's because of the care he receives here is amazing. Thanks to Brooke the hygienist, Dr.Walden, Dr.Roeber and the rest of the assistance and staff for taking excellent care of all of my children. We appreciate each and everyone of you and will recommend this place a thousand times to anyone who's in need of a Pediatric Dental Office.

I highly recommend Dentistry for Children! Dr. Roeber provides excellent care and her warm and friendly personality makes children feel at ease. She always takes the time to discuss my children's dental health and answer any questions. All the dental assistants/hygienists are great with kids and communicate clearly with parents. Dental visits are a positive experience with Dr. Roeber and Dentistry for Children!

Everyone at DFC has always been pleasant, helpful, patient, and understanding. We have never felt like they needed to rush to get done with us so they could move on to someone else. Everyone, from the receptionists to the dental assistants to the doctors, has been very nice to work with. My 10yo went in for some extra dental work today, extracting some stubborn baby teeth that wouldn't come out on their own. My son was very anxious. No one there seemed bothered, or tried to rush us in any way. They took the time to talk with him, explain the procedure, and gave him the time he needed. I very much appreciate all the communication they give leading up to and after appointments. Their COVID policies and check in instructions are readily available through multiple facets of communication and are very clear and well-marked. We appreciate everyone there, especially doing this work amidst an ongoing pandemic. Thank you for all you do!

Dr Polina is the best. My kids always have a great experience and even ask when they get to go back! The staff is great- my only complaint is that I can't be a patient there because I'm an adult!

I love the smiles on everyone's face when me and my Daughter attend an appointment. The hard work shows in the smile on my daughter's face. Prior to being apart of Denistry for Children, I didn't experience over and beyond care. My Daughter is so comfortable with y'all. I am so grateful and satisfied with the services at Denistry for children, thank you.
