About Pediatric Dentistry of Portland
Pediatric Dentistry of Portland is a dental practice on Northeast Wasco Street in the Sullivan's Gulch area of Portland, Oregon. Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

We have been coming to Pediatric Dentistry of Portland for years, and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. Everyone here—from the dentists and dental assistants to the front desk team—is consistently kind, welcoming, professional, and wonderful with kids. The entire office feels thoughtfully designed for children. It’s cheerful and kid-friendly, while also being exceptionally clean and well cared for—right down to the beautiful fish tank! 🐠 Most importantly, our daughter has always been treated with such kindness and respect. Dental visits have simply never been something we’ve had to dread or worry about, and I think that says so much about the environment this team has created. We’re genuinely grateful to have found them and would wholeheartedly recommend Pediatric Dentistry of Portland to other families.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We love Pediatric Dentistry! They are so good with my now 3 year old, we've been coming here since he was 1. He loves the toys in the lobby and the fish tank, and that he gets a sticker and toy when we're done. And fun animals painted all around the office. They are very flexible with scheduling and understanding when we inevitably always are running late. Highly recommend!
I love this dentist's office for my children. The lobby is very welcoming with many toys and books for the kids who need something to do with their hands and minds. There's even a fish tank with a Nemo, Marlin and Dory, adorably surrounded by tiny starfish. The staff is so charming perfect for working with baby and children. They really soften the introduction to dental tools with fun plastic versions of everything they use so the kids can play too. 101% would recommend.
Kind people who are very knowledgeable about pediatric dentistry. We have been going for years. I only wish we had found them sooner.
They are so amazing. They take their time and make the kids feel comfortable. My son actually likes going to the dentist because of them.
Everyone at the practice is kind, welcoming, and excellent with children! Even when it’s tough or my kid is fearful, they do a great job of being patient, responding empathetically but firmly, and getting the work done. We’ve been taking our kid since she was a toddler and have been very happy!
Highly recommend Dr Yang for her expertise. My son has crowding and cavities due to crowding and mouth breathing at night in addition to other dietary problems. She was straightforward and honest and recommended to treating him in a conservative approach for now. I drive from Hillsboro btw.
It’s very telling when your child is excited & counting down the days to go to the dentist! Pediatric Dentistry of Portland is amazing & so kind, they even called to check in after my daughter had a filling - top-notch! Highly recommend!
I had to take my son here to get some cavities filled, and they are my and my son's new favorite dentist. The entire place is very kid-friendly, the staff is great, and great with kids. They did great work, and it was as pleasant an experience for my son as getting fillings can be.
The facility is so clean and cozy. The staffs are very friendly, polite , professional and very accommodating. Dr. Yang is very professional, kind and understanding. Very highly recommended this place. My kid is very well taken care of . I am so happy to find this place.
Always a lovely experience with Matt and Andrea! Have been going here for as long as I can remember, and will continue for as long as they will accept me. Super kind, really great with kids, and always available to answer any questions. No matter how silly!
