As specialists in pediatric dentistry, we focus on the unique needs of infants, children, and those with special needs. Being leading family pediatric dentists in Ormond Beach FL and Port Orange, Florida, we educate parents on the proper care of newly forming teeth, nutrition, and what to expect as your child grows. We encourage you to join your child while they are being seen for their visits so you will know everything being discussed and can be an active part of our team approach.

McDonnell & Parsons Pediatric Dentistry is a prevention-based practice focused on the needs and comfort of our patients. We understand a positive dental experience early in childhood will impact them throughout their lives. Our goal as pediatric dentists in Ormond Beach FL and Port Orange, FL is to provide a positive, fun environment and the care your child deserves.

You can rest assured we would never perform treatment that is not absolutely necessary. As a childrens dentist, we feel the childs needs are much more important than what the insurance company determines as the best treatment. Unlike most insurance companies, we prefer to prevent cavities, not restore them when not necessary.

    Love the staff and doctors. They aren't in network with any insurance companies. I can't afford the bills any more for preventative care.

    My granddaughter had a toothache and we called this dental practice. They were very kind to see my 3 year old granddaughter within a couple of hours on a Friday. Thank you so much!

    They'll book you for unnecessary appointments and charge you a lot. I had to pay $215 for them to brush my kids teeth, when I do that myself for free everyday. Unless you actually have a problem, just consult Google and do it yourself. This was a waste of time and money.

    We take our daughter there; she is profoundly handicapped. The service is prompt, professional, pristine and above all, the level of sensitivity and caring demonstrated by every member of the staff, unexampled. We have 100% confidence in this practice; they are a priceless asset to Volusia County!

    This dentist is AWESOME with children! My son was so comfortable with the blanket they let him use, the Karate Kid movie they put on the screen for him to watch and the care they took with the local anesthesia that I'm not even sure my 6 year old felt the shots happen!

    Words can't express the love I have for this practice! I have been a patient of Dr. Barnes, McDonnell, Parsons since I was 3 years old (now 25!) Yesterday, I had a frenectomy procedure done by Dr. McDonnell and his amazing assistant Jenifer and I am extremely pleased on the outcome! If you're looking for a talented, caring and peaceful environment for your child give them a call!
