As far back as I can remember, Ive always wanted to be a dentist. My hope is to create memories of how much your child loves coming to our office, and how special they feel as my patient. As the mother of two young children, I understand kids and how different each and every child is. My promise to you is that I will be kind and compassionate and will treat your child as if they were my own. All their individual needs will be met in a caring, relaxed environment which will help them look forward to future dental visits.

Dr. Bolton and every staff member we interacting with was AMAZING !! My coworker recommended them and now I know why. The xray interpretation, plan of care, and prices were explained in great detail. The office was clean and kid-friendly !! I wish I could give them 10 stars !!! Update: We just had another appointment, and it was just as great as the 1st one ! I highly recommend this practice. Update #2: We have had several appointments for our new set of braces. Still amazing care, clean office, and very friendly staff (from the front desk to the provider )!! We never wait more than 2 mins after our appointment time ! 10/10 I highly recommend this practice ! Update 3: Care is still top tier!! 10/10- I highly recommend !

Last week was my daughters first time at this office. Prior to coming here we did not have a good experience with our dentist so my daughter was scared. However from the time we walked in the door until we walked out the door my daughter was happy, comfortable and not scared at all. I can't even begin to express how great of an experience this was. She even had two teeth pulled and they reassured her during the whole process that she was doing great. They put on her favorite show and she just laid back and before we knew it, it was over. Thank you so much for giving us a great experience. If I could give 1000 stars I would.

Always a great experience! The staff is wonderful, professional, and always so kind to my children. They have done such a great job during this pandemic to make our visits as safe as possible. It's hard to believe that I was a patient of Dr Tull and now my children are too!

My 2 year old Son had a cleaning today with Monika. I wasn't sure how it was going to go but Monika made him feel so comfortable it was as if he goes to the dentist all the time. Thanks for making his visit so enjoyable!

Hygienist were great and were very patient with all the children being seen in the office. Location was kid friendly and a welcoming atmosphere for kids! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dentist office for children.

After my 3 year twins proved to be more than my family dentist could handle (if you know twins... you know what I mean) we we're referred here. Hands down the best experience I have ever had taking any child to the dentist. The staff was incredibly kind, caring and understanding to both my girls needs and mine as an overwhelmed mom. I cannot sing their praises enough. Thank you for everything!

My children had their first dental visit today at Pediatric Dentistry, and it was a success! My son is 3 1/2 and my daughter is 2 1/2. I was honestly very nervous to take them, thinking they would be terrified and cry the whole time, but both of my kids had a full cleaning with no tears! They even wanted to stay and play afterwards. Our hygienist Monika was SO great and welcoming with the kids. Her calming and fun presence made their first dental trip a great one for ALL of us!

My 6 year old had their teeth pulled and the dentist and assistant were amazing. Quick and efficient and made it painless for him. We had a great visit! Highly recommend.

All three of my children love going to the dentist! And, that is because of their experiences here with the Doc's and their entire staff who make sure to exceed all of your standard expectations:) My personal favorites today included and are not limited to the unicorn spear toothbrush for my approaching 6 year old, the demonstrated lesson on how and what purpose properly flossing is/does and the giggles (without laughing gas) my 4year old was having with his hygienist when her tools and hands where doing their job in his mouth.

They are the best pediatric dental practice in the Annapolis, Arnold and Severna Park area. I would highly recommend them!

My son fell on a toy truck knocking his front tooth loose this afternoon. Even though Pediatric Dentistry was closing in 30 mins they didn't hesitate to tell us to come in and take a look. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and helpful and did excellent working with my son. We were in and out within 30 minutes, including getting an X-ray and follow up chat with the Doctor. We've found our new pediatric dentist . Thank you!
