Dr. Nicolet DeRose graduated from St. Catherines High School in Racine. She earned her B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin Parkside and received her DDS from Loyola Universitys School of Dentistry. Dr. DeRose completed her pediatric dental residency at Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin while studying for her Masters of Science Degree from Marquette University School of Dentistry in Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. DeRose is a strong advocate of policies that provide greater access to quality dental care for the low-income and uninsured of our community. She communicates regularly with local legislators through her position with the Wisconsin Dental Association. She was also appointed as the first State of Wisconsin Public Policy Advocate for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. DeRose won the Wisconsin Dental Associations prestigious Pyramids of Pride award recognizing her lifelong dedication to the dental profession. She was also recognized at the Traditions of Excellence celebration honoring University of Wisconsin-Parkside alumni who have excelled in achievement and service.
In February, during Childrens Dental Health Month, she and her office staff provide numerous dental and nutritional outreach programs to area childcare establishments and preschools. She is a long-standing community provider for Racine's Healthcare Network and has participated in many community dental health events for children.
Dr. DeRose supports various environmental and community organizations. She enjoys swimming, sailing and all things outdoors. She also loves spending time with her family and friends and is proud to call Wisconsin home.
Lynn has been our office manager for many years and prides herself on the personal attention she gives each of our patients. She has a comprehensive understanding of insurance and can answer any question you may have.
Stephanie has a wonderful rapport with children. She has a great sense of humor and puts children at ease with her smiles and laughter. She is also a skilled technician and is responsible for our in-office lab.
Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. A pediatric dentist has two to three years specialty training following dental school and limits his/her practice to treating children only. Pediatric dentists are primary and specialty oral care providers for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health needs.
Being low-key about their dental visit, especially if it is your child's first visit, is very important. Your young child can look forward to coming to our office because we are calm and informative. We know that children can be apprehensive, so we strive to show them what we do in an age appropriate way.
You are the best person to decide how much to tell your boy or girl, but keep in mind that your child has no reason to be afraid unless it is suggested. Stay positive and avoid any anxiety you might have about dental visits.
Many children like to play about something new before they have to do it, so you might want to help your child play 'dentist' with a favorite doll or stuffed animal. You might also visit your local library, which has a wide selection of books with a dental theme, and read them together.

Oh my, looking at the pictures on the internet...brings back fond memories. Close to 40 years ago...Dr. Dorothy DeRose made going to the dentist a great time instead of a nightmare. I wish I were a kid again, I'd definitely come back. Shanta Harris

My son has severe anxiety with dentists! Been to a few in Kenosha (a couple now refuse to see him), and none compare to this place! They were calm and patient and talked everything over with him! They're awesome!

Everyone here is amazing. The doctor was kind and very informative. The assistant took extra care in explaining to my 5 year old each tool and what it did. She let her feel them so she knew it wouldnt hurt. I went here knowing we were out of network but I've heard wonderful things about this place. I'd rather pay out of pocket then go somewhere that will scare my kids. They even helped my financially, which I didn't expect but was eternally grateful for. The doctor also gave me a card from her neices office that does adults. This is the place to go if you want to be treated like family. They are honest, kind, hardworking people. I'd give this place more stars if possible.

I hope the same doctor that ruined my teeth in my childhood isn't still practicing! Make sure they don't try to sell you EXCESSIVE work that needs to be done to your children's teeth. It will catch up to them later, when the fillings go bad. Put it this way, get a second opinion....

I have lived in the Racine area my entire life and have been going to DeRose dental for over 50 years. The late Dr. "Dorothy" took care of me as a boy and Dr. Francesca as an adult. Always felt well cared for and have been treated as family. Never considered going elsewhere as there has never been a reason to. My strongest recommendation. The "place to go" in Racine for quality family dental care. John J Dykstra

Dr. .DeRose is AMAZING!!! I have 6 children , all with different personalities, including one with special needs. Every time we are in Dr. DeRose goes above and beyond. She takes her time with my kiddos, explains what's going to be done and helps them be calm and helpful. This creates an easy and fun dental experience for them and myself. I would absolutely recommend her for pediatric dental to anyone. She knows what she's doing and takes her time to make everyone comfortable. Thank you SO much Dr. DeRose for being so amazing!!!!
