As a board-certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Preece has undergone additional years of specialized training to understand the needs of the growing child. Her professional expertise is complimented by her perspective as a mother of young children, including one with special healthcare needs. She has built a team of dental professionals who have all devoted their careers to working with children, providing education, attention to prevention, and optimal experiences as the child grows from an infant through adolescence.

Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry dealing with children from birth through adolescence. A pediatric dentist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of the dental problems of children from infancy to young adulthood. They usually care for special needs patients as well.
