Great place.. Ana was one of the nurses that stood by my daughter's side while she got an extraction on one of her tooth she's great
We had such an amazing experience with Dr. Walia and Gabby during my daughter’s dental emergency. My 7-year-old was in a lot of pain and naturally very scared, and I was honestly worried this would be a traumatic experience for her—especially knowing she might need to be restrained during the procedure. But from the moment we walked in, Dr. Walia and Gabby completely changed that fear into comfort. They were incredibly gentle, patient, and kind. What stood out the most was how they took the time to explain every single step to my daughter before doing anything. They spoke directly to her in a way she could understand, which made her feel safe and involved instead of scared. Despite the urgency of the situation, they worked efficiently and confidently—removing her broken tooth and placing a spacer all within about 11 minutes. I was beyond impressed, not just with their skill, but with the compassion they showed throughout the entire process. This was, without a doubt, the best dental experience we have ever had. I am so grateful to Dr. Walia and Gabby for turning what could have been a traumatic situation into such a positive one for my daughter. We truly appreciate the care, kindness, and professionalism they showed us.
Excellent service and friendly staff. They were very helpful and professional. Office is clean and kid friendly!
Jonni and Dr Walia were fantastic my granddaughter had a wonderful visit, they both were patient and kind. Highly recommend

What is pediatric dentistry?
Your description goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the description settings
What age should my child first see a pediatric dentist?
Most children should visit a pediatric dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help establish healthy habits and allow the dentist to monitor development from the start.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
In most cases, children should have dental checkups every six months. Regular visits help prevent cavities, catch issues early, and keep your child comfortable with dental care.
What makes a pediatric dentist different from a general dentist?
Pediatric dentists receive additional training focused on infants, children, and teens. They specialize in child development, behavior guidance, and age-appropriate dental care.
Do you offer gentle care for anxious or nervous children?
Yes. Pediatric Dentistry of Fort Myers was designed around the concept of helping children feel safe and relaxed. Our dentists use calm explanations, positive reinforcement, and gentle techniques to reduce fear and anxiety.
What should I expect at my child’s first dental visit?
The first visit is usually short and simple. It often includes a gentle exam, a quick cleaning if appropriate, and guidance for parents on brushing, diet, and oral health habits.
How do you help children feel comfortable during appointments?
Our dentists explain things in kid-friendly language, move at a comfortable pace, and focus on building trust. Parents are welcome to stay nearby for reassurance.
What are the most common dental problems for children?
