Welcome to the Cary pediatric dental practice of Dr. Dan Howell. Dr. Dan and his outstanding staff have dedicated themselves to providing you and your child a positive dental experience and the highest quality dental care. We believe that the time and effort that we spend with every parent and child in our pediatric dental practice will prepare your child for a lifetime of excellent dental health.
Early parental involvement in home dental care is critical for your child's dental health. We will demonstrate home care techniques and explain how you can easily incorporate these techniques into your daily family routines. We have found that parents who get involved early with their child's home dental care can expect few, if any, dental problems for their child.

Services
You, as a parent or guardian, may be with your child at all times during his/her dental appointment. Operative appointments (fillings etc.) for all age children will be available during the morning and early afternoon. We expect payment at the time of service and accept cash, personal check, or credit card (MasterCard, VISA, or Discover).
If your infant has any oral or dental condition that bothers you or appears to be out of the ordinary, then he/she should be seen regardless of age. In unique situations we have seen children as early as their first week of life. This includes any problems with trauma to the teeth or mouth.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children receive an oral health risk assessment by six months of age, and that they establish a dental home by 12 months of age.The reason for these recommendations is that some infants will develop cavities within months of the time that teeth erupt into the mouth.

I started as a patient of Dr. Dan's back in the 80's, then got my first job there as a helper for the hygienists in the late 90's. Dr. Dan & his crew have always been a delight to be around. The hygienists are so friendly, patient, & great with kids. Now my 5 yo daughter goes there too & has been a patient since around 2.5 years old. She's had a great experience. Ms. Marie, Ms. Danielle, & Ms. Jen are awesome! :)

Everyone there has always been so great with my girls. The hygienists are all so friendly and make their patients feel so comfortable and at ease and Dr Dan feels like everyone’s crazy fun uncle 🥰 My 2.5 yr old grandson went with me to take my daughter today and he was so happy there he wanted his teeth cleaned too. He has an appt coming up!!

Dr. Dan is an old school dentist. No fancy games and toys for the kids in his office. But the people who work there are fantastic and so nice you will be glad you went. He can help even the hardest issues quickly and professionally. He is always cheerful and positive with my kids! Absolutely recommend him and his staff.

I've had 2 silver crowns put on my molars here & they both have messed up/ been put on wrong. One started hurting back in 2012 & I went to get it fixed again because they said it was no charge, this was a mistake they put my next silver crown on at the same time. (I have 4 in total) now about 3 years after that the other tooth has started hurting, these aren't just minor pains I was awakened at 5:40am to my tooth feeling like someone took a hammer to my face, & I can't eat any solid food. I would not recommend having crowns put on there unless you like agonizing tooth aches.

Thanks to several positive online reviews, I scheduled my 3 and 4 year old for their first dental cleaning with Dr. Howell. It was a fantastic experience. The hygienists are absolutely amazing, caring and comforting. Dr. Dan was happy and energetic and all were very thorough. My kids asked when they can go back to the dentist. Wonderful experience. Thank you!!

Dr. Dan is a great dentist that has quickly won - and kept - the trust of our kids. He knows how to communicate to children, encourages them to care for their teeth (in a way that they understand) and continues to give us great advise on how to help them develop healthy teeth. Only wish he'd file insurance claims directly, but you can't win them all.
