Who we treat

Specialists for every stage of childhood

Pediatric dentistry is a separate specialty with two to three extra years of training after dental school. Every Brush dentist completed it, and every one is board certified for the group your child belongs to.

Our difference

Finally, a pediatric dentist that feels different

Board-certified. Every one of us.

All five of our pediatric dentists are Diplomates of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Not most of us. All of us. Many practices don’t hold their whole team to that standard. We do.

Numbing designed just for kids

Advanced electronic technology numbs the tooth, not their whole face. No droopy lip on the ride home, and most kids never realize it happened.

Shame-free, judgment-free

Cavities happen. A lot. We never say “shot,” “needle,” or “pull.” We speak your child’s language, explain one step at a time, and treat parents as partners, never with guilt.

Meet our founder

Built by a mom who gets it.

Dr. Albert is one of the most unusually credentialed founder-operators in American pediatric dentistry: a Kellogg MBA, an ABPD Board Examiner who personally evaluates the nation’s top graduates, a Trustee of the AAPD Foundation, and a national spokesperson for the profession’s governing body. With nearly two decades of experience, she built Brush as a clinician who is also a mother, who lives in this community, and who knows the difference between a practice that treats children and one that truly knows them.

“My son used to be terrified of dentists. After his first visit at Brush, he asked when he could come back. I cried happy tears in the parking lot.”
SSarah A.Brush parent since 2019
“I didn’t even know they numbed him. He was watching a movie on the ceiling TV the whole time. How are more dentists not doing this?”
MMichael B.Brush parent since 2014
“Clean, modern, efficient. My daughter left feeling like she won a prize. We are obsessed with this practice and recommend it to every parent we know.”
