Here at Southwoods Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to specialize in pediatric dentistry. Our entire staff is very good with children. We know and understand how children think, so we can start them off right. We want them to believe the dentist's office is a good place instead of being scared of it.
Dental care should not be something that you have to do twice a year, it should something that a child incorporates into their daily routine. We pride ourselves on teaching your child proper oral hygiene techniques to prevent dental disease. Prevention is our goal, however, there are times when treatment is needed.
Dr. Gallo was born and raised in New York. She knew from a young age she wanted to pursue dentistry, therefore she enrolled in Fairleigh Dickinson University's accelerated biology and pre-dental program. She was awarded magna cum laude upon graduation. After graduation, she attended New York University College of Dentistry where she received her dental degree.

I initially had a 5 star rating for this office when my son first started attending, but unfortunately the office staff’s inability to do their job is what has me changing my review of this office. I love Dr Gallo and she is great, but twice now the office staff has seriously dropped the ball and made two appointments an absolute waste of time. At our final appt, I immediately gave them my new insurance card (and even checked their site beforehand to make sure they took the new one), filled out all the paperwork and sat for over an hour. Finally Dr Gallo came in and told us they don’t take

We’ve had 2 visits at this office for my 2 year old. Both visits have been during the pandemic. This office is so clean and I’ve never had to share a waiting room with anyone. Wait times have been less than 10 minutes. Dr. Gallo is so wonderful. Their expertise and professionalism is outstanding. Everyone that works in the office is friendly and great with kids.

New to the area I was looking for a pediatric dentist and received a recommendation from my neighbor to go see Dr Gallo and I’m so glad I did! Dr Gallo was amazing with my little girl. She made her feel comfortable and being a parent with everything going on with Covid the office was spotless, has new air filters and plexiglass shields up needless today I was at ease myself.

Southwoods consistently exceeds my expectations. They are kind and courteous, and always help my children develop better habit with brushing and flossing. They take thier time, and the quality of the service really comes through with each visit. I have now been using Southwoods for over a year, and won't be moving to another pediatric dentist anytime soon. These guys are awesome, thier facilities are clean, and organized and most importantly everything is kid friendly.

We love Dr. Gallo and her staff. As a mom of three, she really knows kids- and she understands the struggles that parents have in keeping kids on track with dental health. She doesn’t lecture or shame, but educates her patients and their parents. Having her perspective as a mother AND dentist is really helpful.

The staff and hygienists are AMAZING!! They really know how to work with kids and make them feel safe and secure. My daughter was very happy to have her appointment and everything was explained to her with each and every step. Dr. Gallo was also just as amazing and kind. She took the time to explain things to us, as well as our daughter and just had a sweet, kind demeanor that made you feel welcomed and listened to.

We brought our 14 month old twins to this office, and me and my husband were so impressed by how friendly the staff was and how clean the office was. Dr. Kristina was AMAZING with our boys! She played peek-a-boo with them and made them feel very comfortable. Given there were tears but not tears of fear. We cant wait to come back!

My daughter was a little apprehensive once she knew that we were going to the dentist. She even shed a few tears walking through the parking lot. That all changed when we walked through the doors at Southwoods pediatric dentistry. The atmosphere is bright and colorful and very inviting for children. Her attitude changed completely and she started playing with the toys in the waiting room. Miss Kelly was our hygienist and she was so sweet and patient with my daughter. She made her feel very comfortable for her first visit to the dentist. They do not push any treatment at the first visit but my daughter
