We know you will be happy with the care we provide because we take care of kids as if they are our own. A pediatric dentist evaluates, treats and maintains the tissues and structures of the mouth in the developing years from infancy through adolescence. With advances to modern medicine (and specifically dental advances) it would make sense to assume that our teeth would be healthier than our ancestor's teeth were.
We have access to dentists, . We all know that advertisements play a huge role in how we as consumers purchase products. But are sports drinks good for you? And are they really the best option for hydration? No, this isn't a magical, solve-all-your-problems blog about insurance, but hopefully it can clear up some common misconceptions about insurances and their coverage in our office!

I am a native of Lincoln and received my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the UNMC College of Dentistry. I completed my Pediatric Dental Residency at Children's Memorial Hospital of Northwestern University in Chicago. I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and have been elected a Fellow of the International College of Dentists and American College of Dentists.
I grew up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. As a child, my family made many trips to Nebraska to cheer on the Huskers and visit my relatives. I knew early on that I wanted to attend UNL and be a Husker myself! During my 4 years of college at UNL, I met my husband Andrew. I attended dental school at UNMC from 2005 to 2009.
I am originally from North Platte, Nebraska. In 2010 I moved to Omaha and attended College of Saint Mary for my undergraduate degree. I then graduated from UNMC College of Dentistry with my Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2018. Afterward I completed my specialty training with the UNMC pediatric dental residency program at Children's Hospital in Omaha.
A pediatric dentist evaluates, treats, and maintains the tissues and structures of the mouth in the developing years from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric dentists complete two additional years of specialized training following dental school, which includes study in child psychology, growth, and development.
Your child's first dental visit in our office will include a review of their medical and dental history and a thorough dental exam. The dental exam will be an evaluation of the teeth and gums, a head and neck exam, and a preliminary orthodontic evaluation. Your child may also receive a cleaning and fluoride treatment at the first visit.

My daughter has been going there for the last 3/4 years and I’ve never had a complaint. They dental assistants are so nice and great with kids. My daughter gets really nervous but they calm her right when she walks back. Even the the ladies who check you in are amazing! We’ve seen Dr. Libby and Dr. Katie and they’ve both been great! I would recommend this place to anyone, especially for those children who need a little extra care due to dental anxiety!

We drive over an hour each way (and probably pass at least a dozen other dentists) to use this clinic, and it is worth every mile. My kids are literally excited when I tell them we have dentist appointments. I am so so grateful that my kids will never be cared of the dentist thanks to this team. Always a wonderful experience.

My kids had a great experience. Very clean! The hygienist and dentist were so great with my kids and I felt informed and competent to care for my kids’ teeth. Also I really appreciate the schedulers and ease of filling out forms online before the appointment. When you arrive there is a phone option on the menu to check in instead of just randomly selecting a number hoping someone picks up, which makes a huge difference! Overall, very pleased with our experience here!!

I had my daughters first dentist appointment, and beyond impressed would be an understatement. Everyone here was incredibly kind and professional. The dental assistant was helpful in answering all our questions and really interacted with my 12 month old. You can tell the dentist herself loves her job and really cares for her patients. I am so glad we found found this place for our child's oral care. Would reccomend to anyone looking for a dentist for their child.
