At Pediatric Dentistry of Reading, we specialize in the treatment of infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special health care needs. We believe that through the use of gentle dentistry, we can create a pleasant dental experience for children at an early age, and they will be more likely to have a positive attitude towards dentistry that will last a lifetime.

From arcade games and movies to a coffee bar, our goal is to create an environment that is not only comfortable and inviting for our "pint-sized" patients but for you, the parent, as well. We want to thank you for choosing us to address your child's unique dental care needs and invite you to continue exploring our site to see who we are and what makes us the perfect office to care for your child.
Services
In a pediatric dental office, our specialist and staff are specifically trained to work with infants, children, adolescents, and those with special health care needs. After attaining a traditional dental degree, a Pediatric Dentist then completes 2-3 years of additional training. Upon completion of this specialty training, the Pediatric Specialist limits his/her practice to treating only children.
Whether it's during the day or after normal business hours, we have got you covered! Should your child experience a dental emergency, we are here to help with a doctor on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If you have a serious concern about your child please call the office immediately 484-334-2310 or take your child to the emergency room.
We, at Pediatric Dentistry of Reading, as well as The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and The American Dental Association (ADA), recommend that your child see a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than his/her 1st birthday.
General Anesthesia, often referred to as "being put to sleep" or "sleep dentistry, " is a medical procedure that renders your child completely asleep in a pain-free environment, allowing for the safe provision of dental diagnostics and treatment. Treatment is completed in a hospital or surgical center setting and conducted as 'outpatient' surgery, meaning that the patient is usually able to go home a few hours after the procedure is finished.

Dr. Beth and her team are A-mazing!! Having a child with high dental anxiety is very frustrating but her office does everything they can to make a visit an enjoyable experience! Scheduling is super easy for any and all appointments! The arcade in the lobby is always well enjoyed at each visit too!

If you have a mask requirement you should probably tell someone when they make the appointment. Many people will not put a mask on a toddler, for obvious reasons.

My daughter is 6 years old and autistic. She had an awful mouth and since they did not take state insurance it would've taken me awhile to pay it out of pocket hence why I waited and played with this situation. My daughter started having real trouble and they saw me and were very decent to me and prescribed an antibiotic for her. They scheduled her surgery for Feb. The next week my daughters mouth swelled up to the size of an apple. The antibiotics, although I skipped one dose were not working. I called them and I was asked to send a picture, I did and I received a call back to watch my daughter

I can't praise this office enough! From the clean and modern facilities, to the welcoming and kind staff. I feel blessed to have taken my children to this office. My autistic children can be a challenge in uncomfortable and new situations. Everyone that works there is patient, kind and extremely positive when working with each of them. Thank you to Dr. Gratson and the whole staff for being amazing people and having a wonderfully positive impact in my kids' lives.

My 14 month old daughter broke her front tooth in half and we have no idea how it happened. I was quite flustered since we did not have a named dentist for her and I solely relied on Google reviews to help me find a top rated pediatric dentist who could see her right away. The office was closed on the day I called; however, Dr. Beth answered my… emergency call, asked me to text her pictures, and followed up within seconds of sending the pictures. We were not even her patient! She told me that her office staff would call me to schedule a next day appointment in the AM and that is exactly

I first want to say that this office is extremely clean and inviting to kids. Dr. Beth is very professional and made my daughter feel very comfortable during her visit. Dr. Beth explained to my daughter step by step what she was doing, and made the visit fun. By the end of the visit, my daughter was asking when she could come back and regularly talks about how much she loves going to her dentist! (Mom's favorite part of the visit- NO TEARS!) We highly recommend Dr. Beth and staff.

Dr. Beth and her staff were amazing with my son. They are so efficient and quick when taking care of any oral problems. I am so grateful for the care and patience they took with my boy. The game room was a great motivator for him as well! Cannot thank you all enough!!

Took my son here for a second opinion, and I could not believe how incredibly nice Dr. Beth was and the staff. Made me and my son feel at ease, Dr. Beth took her time with us, didn't push one way or the other for what we should or shouldn't do. I'm so glad we came here, I am definitely bringing him back for regular check ups.

Took my daughter to her first dentist appointment yesterday. What an amazing place - fun waiting room, high-tech, clean upscale furnishings, super friendly staff. Although my daughter didn't like the dental chair lift, Dr. Beth made her feel at ease and had other ways to check her teeth and make the experience fun. It was worth the wait to get her into this office. She did not stop talking about it all day!! Thank you.
