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.

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.
