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. Children begin to get their baby teeth during the first 6 months of life.

Named a Top Pediatric Dentist in the State of New Jersey in 2018 and a Top Dentist by South Jersey Magazine in 2019, the main thing that Dr. Armstrong attributes her success to is her ability to provide quality customer service, her genuine care for patients and their families, as well as her compassionate nature. 

Outside of practicing dentistry, she lives in south New Jersey. She enjoys reading, skiing, singing, and composing music. She especially enjoys the time she is able to spend with her family and friends.
