Who We See

Pediatric Dental Excellence treats children from ages 0-17 years old. Those with special needs can be seen past 17 years old.

Babies

On occasion babies and newborns need to see the dentist right away. Did you know some babies are born with teeth? No problem though, Dr. Ryan can help. We also treat babies who have “tongue-tie" or "lip-tie".

Toddlers

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry “AAPD”, recommends that children begin to see a dentist by 1 year of age, or by the time their first tooth comes in. Why so early? It turns out that children who see the dentist from an early age are MUCH LESS LIKELY TO DEVELOP CAVITIES. Dr. Ryan believes if your child gets to know him from an early age, most fears of the dentist go away.

Big Kids

Most children start to get their adult teeth around age 6. Bye-Bye baby teeth, hello forever teeth! It is a very important time to make sure brushing and flossing habits are perfect! It is also when Dr. Ryan can start to tell if your child’s adult teeth are developing normally and when you can expect to see more.

Teenagers

By age 12 most children have only adult teeth. Before Dr. Ryan was a pediatric dentist, he was a general dentist (adult dentist). So, we see children up to age 17.

  This is one of the best Pediatrics office in Philadelphia. Excellent costumer service from the front desk ladies. Doctor Ryan is phenomenal at what he does & made my 4 yr feel comfortable & relaxed while getting his fillings done. He was so informative & patient. Most offices rush you through just to get to the next patient. He took his time with us & really heard out all my questions & concerns. He also has an amazing sense of humor 😁 Great dental assistants in the back, extremely professional & pleasant. I am a dental assistant myself, been in the field for 16yrs & I am extremely picky when it comes to choosing the right dentist. Thanks to PDE I found the perfect dental office for my children 🫶🏼

  Brought my 14 month old for her first dentist visit and couldn’t be happier with the choice I made. The staff was extremely nice and welcoming and quelled every ounce of anxiety I had surrounding her first visit. I left with every question I had answered and I can confidently say I know she’s in great hands! They also a super quick with responding to messages and inquires!!! If you’re in the Philly area and unsure about a pediatric dentist they’re it!!

  I was nervous to take my 18 month old to her first dentist appointment, but Dr. Ryan did a fantastic job. He took the time to answer all my questions and help me and my daughter feel at ease. The office is clean and very kid friendly and all the staff were great. I cannot recommend this office enough.
