My profession means to me that I can be a dentist and an educator, which enables me to make a difference in peoples lives on a daily basis. Working with so many unique people every day makes me realize that every person and situation is different, and at Dentistry for Children, we treat everyone and every situation individually. I love seeing patients grow and become participating partners in their own oral health. Dr. Maher
Dr. Rachel Maher is passionate about sharing her dental knowledge and expertise, along with educating her patients and their parents. She loves seeing her patients' oral health improve because of the education provided to them.
Dr. Maher graduated from Alvernia College in Reading, PA with a Bachelor of Science in biology. She then attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine where she received her Doctorate in Dental Medicine. Dr. Maher completed a general dental residency program at Christiana Care Health Services in Wilmington, DE. She then went on for advanced studies in Pediatric Dentistry at Childrens Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, OH.
As a dental professional, Dr. Maher is a lifelong learner. She continually pursues current technology and information by attending annual continuing education courses. This allows her to be to be informed about the most current, gold standard care and implement it on a daily basis with her patients.
Dr. Maher volunteers at Christiana Care as a pediatric dental attending teaching the general practice residents about pediatric dentistry. She is Past President of the Delaware State Dental Society and actively participates in dental society activities, including a project she initiated called Educate to Eliminate and by being the Delaware Delegate to the American Dental Association. Dr. Maher also reviews the monthly pediatric dentistry journals.
When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Maher enjoys spending time with her family, visiting the Pocono Mountains, and has been a member of the National Ski Patrol for eight years. Dr. Maher is passionate about gardening, enjoying nature, being outdoors, shopping, and spending time with family and friends.
Dr. Maher is an active member of the Delaware State Dental Society, through which she has volunteered for many different community programs, including Special Olympics of Delaware. Being active in the community is important to her because it allows her patients to see her in another setting, other than the dental office, and really connect with them on a different level.
Our practice is dedicated to providing the highest possible quality dental care through caring and compassion for our patients, positive attitudes, an enthusiastic team, and the commitment to further our knowledge and relationships through education, experience, and community service.
At Dentistry for Children, we love making kids smile! The health of our patients and the elimination of dental disease though excellent pediatric dental care, compassion, and patience is the goal we strive to achieve.
Your childs first visit to the dentist can set the stage for their opinion of dentistry for the rest of their life. We suggest sharing with your child positive stories that describe a trip to the dentist. Parents should convey good feelings to children about dental visits being a part of growing up, and take a positive approach to dental care.
Our fun atmosphere and friendly staff strive to develop a trusting relationship with every child and teenager through kindness and patience by nurturing positive attitudes and creating an enjoyable dental experience.
We understand that emergencies happen, including pain, swelling, bleeding, fractured teeth, and lost fillings. Whatever the issue is, if its an emergency to you, its an emergency to us. When your child experiences an emergency, we will do our very best to see him or her as soon as possible. Please call our office to be seen promptly. During the times we are closed, you will be directed where to call for assistance.

Hats off to Dr Rachel Maher and her entire staff! They are always so polite, professional, and happy to assist with everything and anything! They are very accommodating to unique situations and always followup with the parent or caregiver if the kids are brought to their appt by someone who is not either. And Dr. Maher's follow-up is great. She always makes the kids feel at ease and comfortable while making sure they understand the importance of good habits. Great practice!!

What crooks. They used suggestive wording to imply that Humana would fully cover the visit. They knew otherwise. Then they got us on the hook for $99 for a 5 minute REQUIRED "consultation" that could have been extracted from the referring dentists notes and X Rays. When I asked for a refund as we would not be using there services any further, the front office manager told me that the (5 minute) consultation would have been almost $200 if there had not been a special deal. "We can't help you any further." Like this PAY UP FRONT office doesn't make enough money, they need to gouge me for pediatric medical services. Where's your heart at, doc? Oh, there it is; nestled sweetly in my wallet. Shame on you.

I love this dentist. My grandson's Delaney has been going here for 7 years. The dentist has a great personality and is great with the kids and care . I like the current office staff and the old office staff they had 3 or 4 years ago was terrific as well.

I've been taking my daughter here for 7 years. Every time we go my daughter gets so excited! Taking xrays are scary for children and they make it fun! The doctor answers all of your questions and makes your child laugh! Very wonderful staff. They make taking my daughter to the dentist fun! My daughter says "this is the best day ever". & "i can't stop smiling with my clean teeth". 100% recommend!!
