Expert Pediatric Dentistry in Sarasota, FL
A Comprehensive Approach to Children’s Dental Health
At Give Me A Smile Pediatric Dentistry, we provide expert, compassionate dental care exclusively for children. Our Sarasota office is designed to make young patients feel safe, welcome, and comfortable—whether it’s their first visit or they’re receiving ongoing treatment.
Led by Dr. Jerry Chery, a board-certified pediatric dentist, our practice supports your child’s oral development at every stage—from baby teeth to teen years. We offer a complete range of pediatric dental services with a focus on prevention, education, and positive dental experiences that build lifelong healthy habits.
Preventive and Specialized Care Tailored to Every Child
Healthy smiles start with prevention. Our team provides comprehensive preventive services including dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and routine exams to help your child avoid cavities and stay on track with their oral development.
We also understand that some children need more specialized care. Whether your child experiences dental anxiety, has a strong gag reflex, or lives with sensory or developmental challenges, we’re here to help. Dr. Chery offers Special Needs Dentistry and multiple sedation dentistry options—including oral sedation and general anesthesia—to ensure every child receives safe and comfortable care.
Restorative and Emergency Pediatric Treatments
Sometimes, children need more than just routine care. Whether due to decay, injury, or infection, our restorative dental treatments are designed to preserve natural teeth, restore function, and support your child’s long-term oral health.
We also provide immediate care for dental emergencies such as chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth. Our team is trained to respond quickly and compassionately, helping your child feel calm and cared for—even during unexpected situations.
