Services
Harp Pediatric Dentistry has the clinical skills, gentle touch, and ability to communicate with kids that set us apart. The general services kids need to establish healthy oral hygiene habits are here, but we also offer more specialized dental procedures-all under one roof-for maximum convenience and minimum stress.
If you're part of our Harp Pediatric Dentistry family, you know how deeply we care about our Palm Harbor friends and neighbors, and that we strive to provide a safe, welcoming place for children to relax while we work on improving and maintaining their oral and overall health.
We want to help each child and teen develop good habits that build their confidence, and empower them to realize their potential so that eventually, they'll be able to share their unique talents and give back to their community alongside us-or anywhere they go!

Harp Pediatric Dentistry knows that life is complicated enough-so why not start with the basics? General dentistry services are where it all begins! Care for your family's smallest smiles with our general dentistry services. From oral hygiene to dental sealants, we'll clean and protect those precious teeth while teaching your children about brushing, flossing, being careful with their teeth, and the importance of good nutrition.
Keeping an active child's teeth intact can be an epic battle for the ages-just like getting some children to take naps! Kids can be fearless-playing hard, moving fast, and inevitably, falling down, and their teeth get in the way at the wrong time. Other kids draw the short straw when it comes to their teeth, whether issues are caused by genetics, health, or happenstance.
When it comes to oral surgery, it's understandable to be a bit worried-but rest assured Dr. Dawoud is adept in providing oral surgery procedures with years of experience. Our team is attuned to your child's comfort, actively working to ease not only their mind, but yours, too. Our care is tailored to provide the most positive experience and favorable outcome for the specific needs of your child.

Jenny is a horrible person. She goes on to to Google and leaves fake reviews to ruin people buissness when she was never a customer. Literally a liar and a thief. She wanted me to do a job for free and when refused she left a bad review. She also cussed at me when I have her a price and very nasty person. If that's how she is with people who did not even do work for her imagine how she treats employees and customers. This is a real review not a fake one like hers

Dr. Mark and Bryn (I think her name is Jessica) we’re incredible. The entire staff here was professional and friendly. But our experience was so relieving after having a terrible experience at Cobbe Dental. We’ve got my sons next steps for his dental Health in motion thanks to Harp, we definitely have found our new regular dentist office. Thank you!

I loved my first experience with Harp Pediatric Dentistry. Johanna at the front desk was great; very professional, cordial and helpful. My sons dental care today was performed by Ms Jackie and she was so great with my 2 year old. She made the visit fun, easy going, relaxed and she educated us on the importance of dental care starting at a young age, and gave us plenty of useful tips on how to continue proper dental hygiene at home. I am very happy withe whole office and the experience

My children have been going here for a couple of years now. I want to give so much THANKS and appreciation to Jackie, the assistant, who worked on my littlest. She was amazing. SO great with children. She had my girls laughing, excited and overall just made their experience wonderful. Please keep her always! She is a rare gem and deserves all the praise. Dr. Dawoud has always been the best. My girls love him! Thank you Dr. Dawoud and Jackie!!!

The dentist told me that he refused to do any treatment to my child unless done under general anesthesia! That is not necessary at all. Just been lazy and making sure it will go smooth for him, not for the kids. Anesthesia can cause complications in children (such as strange heart rhythms, breathing problems, allergic reactions to medications, and even death).

Huge shout out to both offices. I live in Seminole but my daughter had to have a procedure done in the Palm Harbor office. Thank you all for restoring her faith in going to the dentist. Staff is very good at what they do. Nurses and doctors are incredible. Very patient and answer any questions throughly. They help put this very emotional mind to ease when taking care of my daughter. I couldn’t ask for a better dental team.

We had to find a new dentist because my children’s previous dentist stop taking our dental insurance. We found Harp Pediatric Dentistry recommended through the Dunedin Moms group. We were very happy with our wait time which was much less than our previous dentist and both kids left happy. I was also pleasantly surprised that I was able to sit with my kids while they got their dental cleanings. Our previous dentist office didn’t permit that.

I can’t rave enough about this place! I highly recommend Dr. Dawoud to all children. The moment you walk in you feel welcomed. My son is never nervous coming here. They have it super chill with movies playing in waiting area and during their service. Dr. And his assistant are very friendly, warm hearted and patient. We go in and don’t wait long at all. Keep it up Harp family ❤️

Everything and everyone were tip top from the moment we made our kids' appointments until we left the practice. They are very well-organized, starting with the timely appointment reminders all the way to the after visit follow-up.
Dr. Dawoud is a fantastic dentist and gentleman that you definitely would entrust with the dentistry care of your children.

Outstanding practice! My daughter who's is just under 4 has REFUSED care from any dentist we have taken her too. That being said she was having visible damage because of it. After many attempts we were referred out to Harp pediatric. From the onset this practice was informative and professional regarding treatment and pricing. There isn't a parent out there that wants to take the measures of sedation but dental care is so important that some children need it at first being so young. This staff was so great at making sure every question was answered! Our appointment was on time and

5 stars!
I was hesitant to switch my son's dentist because he'd gone with me to mine since he was 2. But the location of this in proximity to his current and future schools was hard to resist.
The office his beautiful. It's brand new, state of the art, and very kid-friendly. Movies are playing, toys, kid sized chairs and tables and a cute welcome sign with all the kids names on it for their appointments that day.
Everyone is friendly and helpful. We ended up coming back a second time due to a cavity and Dr. Mark had given me the advice not to tell my son (4.5) why he was
