What is a Pediatric Dentist?

Pediatric dentists are dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teen years. They have the experience and qualifications to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood.

Children begin to get their baby teeth during the first 6 months of life. By age 6 or 7 years, they start to lose their first set of teeth, which eventually are replaced by secondary, permanent teeth. Without proper dental care, children face possible oral decay and disease that can cause pain and complications. Today, early childhood dental caries—an infectious disease—is 5 times more common in children than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever.


It is our job to care for your child’s oral health through
education, prevention, positive motivation and quality treatment.

Dr. Borodkin truly enjoys working with and teaching children. Her passion and enthusiasm for teaching kids the skills necessary for excellent oral health is seen through the fun and energetic environment created for her patients. Every patient walks away with a custom smile!

Outreach and Donated Dental Services

Since becoming a dentist in 2004, Dr. Adena always knew that she wanted to use her skills to improve the lives of kids in need. Dental decay is the most common chronic childhood disease, and many children worldwide suffer with pain in their mouths.

In addition to volunteering and organizing local charitable events, Dr. Adena recently participated in her first international dental service trip. In August of 2017, she joined a group of volunteers and traveled to the hills of Guatemala. Their group of 24 dentists and volunteers treated over 1500 children in 6 days. It was really hard work, but the most rewarding career experience Dr. Adena has ever had.

I am so pleased with my son’s dentist, she really goes above and beyond in giving your children the attention and ease that is needed when going to the dentist office.
