Get to know Dentist Dr. Cynthia Pelley, who serves patients in Portland, Oregon.
Dr. Pelley is a board certified pediatric dentist servicing the Portland, Oregon metro area at Little Smiles Pediatric Dentistry. She and her team have special training to help both children and their parents understand how to care for teeth and support oral health.
They offer much-needed help and guidance, including: fun and supportive atmosphere where children can learn the importance of oral health; dietary advice for parents and kids to better guide families in healthy ways to eat for the best smile; collaboration with pediatricians and orthodontists to provide full care; giving children choices and helping them feel in charge of surroundings; and activities and rewards to make the dental office a place that is fun.
A long-term Oregon native, Dr. Pelley received a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts and Science with a focus on Biology from Portland State University. After graduation, she was awarded membership in the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi for academic excellence.
After graduating with her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry Degree from OHSU, Dr. Pelley continued her child-focused dental training in the Pediatric Dental Residency Program at the said establishment. In her final year, she was chosen to be Chief Resident by the Program Director.
Thereafter, Dr. Pelley took the National Pediatric Dental Board Exam and became certified as a Diplomat in Pediatric Dentistry.
Advanced training as a pedodontist balances her passion for the care of children with the science and artistry of dentistry. Dr. Pelley began her care for the health of babies, children, and adolescents through 12 years of nursing, including working in the pediatric ICU. This early training gave her the unique ability to see how the child’s whole body influences overall oral health.
Among her professional associations include the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the Oregon Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology, the American Dental Association, the Oregon Dental Association, and the Multnomah County Dental Society.
In addition, Dr. Pelley has hospital privileges at Kaiser, Legacy, and Providence locations.
Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry dealing with children from birth through adolescence. 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.
