Why choose a pediatric dental office? Because a pediatric dentist is specially trained and entirely dedicated to meeting the oral health care needs of infants, children, and adolescents. Besides attending dental school, a pediatric dentist undergoes two to three years of additional residency training before earning the official title of Pediatric Dentist. Every member of the Columbus Pediatric Dentistry team is highly skilled at interacting and treating children of all ages.
When your child begins losing their primary teeth, their permanent teeth start emerging from the gums. This is when its more important than ever to instill excellent oral health habits. We help you and your child learn proper brushing and flossing techniques to keep their teeth and gums healthy and to avoid decay.
Dr. Nicholas Kerns (Dr. Nick), is the proud owner of Columbus Pediatric Dentistry. He received his bachelors degree in psychology from Miami University and proceeded to obtain a Masters of Science degree at Case Western Reserve University. He then completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, cum laude, at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry. Dr. Kerns completed a two-year residency in pediatric dentistry at Nationwide Childrens Hospital. In 2015, he achieved Board Certification and Diplomate status with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
Outside of his professional career, Dr. Kerns leads a very active life. He enjoys running, road biking, golf, tennis, cooking, and swimming. Dr. Nick and his wife, Jordanna, live in Upper Arlington with their little dog, Penny Sue. He is passionate about giving back to the community and has been involved in multiple community service projects and organizations including Operation Smile, the Special Olympics, and the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. In addition, he provides free dental care to the local underserved community through KidSMILES and Give Kids a Smile.
Dr. Adam Richardson was raised in northeastern Oklahoma and is a Sooner through and through. He received his Bachelors of Science in Zoology at the University of Oklahoma and graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in 2018.
During his time in Oklahoma, he developed his passion for treating children while volunteering at a local non-profit dental clinic. This inspired him to complete a residency in pediatric dentistry at The Ohio State University and Nationwide Childrens Hospital.
Dr. Adam and his wife, Lana (who is also a dentist), love to spend time with their two golden retrievers, Winnie and Sandy. They also love to cook and bake together and try out the newest Columbus restaurants. In his free time, Dr. Adam plays guitar, drums, and the synthesizer, and enjoys running and staying healthy.
Dr. Kyle Beulke grew up in Nebraska before starting his education at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, where he completed his degree in Biochemistry. He returned to his husker roots where he received his dental degree from UNMC. After completing his degree, he continued his education in general dentistry and special needs from The Ohio State University. It was there he met his wife (Jenny) and established his friendship with Dr. Nick. Dr. Kyle continued his Big Ten education by attending University of Iowa for pediatric training and later became a board-certified pediatric dentist in 2017.
A father of three, Dr. Kyle understands the successes and struggles of raising children, especially when it comes to oral care. His favorite aspect of pediatric dentistry is getting to see all the different personalities children can possess, and having an excuse to watch the latest Disney movie. He takes pride in his compassion, patience, and empathy when working with young children, and is excited to bring his skill set back to Columbus.

Wanted my son to be seen by Dr. Lin, because he was my former dentist when I was a child and i loved it. Been calling for about 2 weeks leaving voicemails but it's like they let their phones ring. Quite disappointed he won't be able to experience it. Finally answered after week 4 and we have appointment in 2 weeks.
