When my five-year-old had a dental emergency at 9 PM on a Sunday, I couldn’t find reliable information anywhere.
That frustrating experience led me to create this website—and it shapes every editorial decision I make today.
I’m not a dentist. I’m a parent and researcher based in Queens who was tired of unreliable dental information online.
This editorial policy explains how my small team and I work to create the most trustworthy pediatric dental resource for Queens families.
Our Mission
To be the most reliable, empathetic, and useful resource for parents navigating children’s dental health in Queens, NY.
