Dr. Brian Cullen

Pediatric dentistry in Yuma keeps things simple—cleanings, sealants, and the occasional filling without turning the chair into a battleground. Dr. Brian Cullen handles the basics from a small suite at 2359 S 22nd Dr #1, tucked between the older subdivisions and the newer strip malls on the south side. Parents who prefer a single provider for their kids’ check-ups tend to circle back here once they’ve tried the chain clinics and decided they’d rather not explain cavities to a rotating cast of hygienists. The office shares a parking lot with a dry cleaner and a taqueria, so weekend mornings can feel like a block party. If you’re mapping the route, pull up directions before you leave; the building numbers aren’t lit after dark. Reach the front desk at (928) 329-9565 when the school forms ask for a dentist’s signature—no automated menu, just a voice that sounds like it’s been answering the same line since the last solar eclipse.

Yuma’s heat makes shade a luxury, but the cottonwoods along 22nd Drive offer a little cover while you wait for the AC to catch up. Most appointments run on time, which is more than you can say for the pediatrician down the road. Bring a book, or don’t; either way, the hygienist will have your kid spitting into the little sink like a pro before you finish chapter three.
