Pediatric Dental Associates on Allegheny Avenue is excited to serve the city of Philadelphia and the local neighborhoods of Port Richmond, Kensington, North Kensington, Fishtown, Bridesburg, Juniata Park, Frankford, and Harrowgate.
Our doctors and clinical team are committed to providing quality pediatric dental care for children from their toddler years on through their teenage years. We accept Medicaid and most insurance plans, so each child in our community gets the care they need.
Our pediatric dental office at 2301 East Allegheny Ave was thoughtfully created for kids—bright, welcoming, and comfortable. Supported by experienced pediatric dental specialists and advanced technology, we focus on making every visit calm, positive, and stress-free for children and parents alike.
Our team knows that a dental visit can feel new and a little unfamiliar for kids. That’s why we work hard to make every visit calm, fun, and positive.
Most pediatric dental visits last 30–45 minutes, allowing plenty of time for personalized care without feeling rushed.
At your child’s first visit to our Allegheny Ave children’s dental office, our team provides a gentle cleaning, digital X-rays if needed, and a complete exam. We’ll review findings together, discuss any recommended care, and offer practical brushing and nutrition tips to support long-term oral health.
We’re located at 2301 East Allegheny Ave, on the second floor of the Commonwealth Medical Building at Allegheny Ave and Tulip Street in Port Richmond.

View MorePediatric dentists are specialists in treating the unique needs of children. A pediatric dentist has completed an additional two to three years of specialty training beyond dental school. He/she specifically treats the oral health needs of infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health needs. Pediatric dentists are skilled at using smaller equipment designed for a child’s mouth and better understand the intricacies and importance of baby teeth in a growing child. They also focus more attention on educating patients and parents about preventive care to help children avoid complications such as decay, infection, speech problems, and cosmetic issues. Furthermore, we complete a detailed risk assessment on each patient so it can provide additional support and services to the children who need it the most.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children start seeing a dentist every six months, by their first birthday or once their first tooth emerges.
Primary, or “baby,” teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to erupt.
It is important to remember that oral health affects more than the health of your teeth. Cavities in baby teeth cause pain and swelling that can be tremendously uncomfortable for your child. Oral infections can enter the blood stream and lead to other serious health problems. Bacteria can quickly ‘jump’ from one part of the mouth to another, thus resulting in infections and cavities in new erupting adult teeth.
