Cedar Rapids Pediatric Dentistry: Sarah Swenson DDS

Finding a pediatric dentist who actually specializes in children’s dental care—not just general dentistry with a side of tiny toothbrushes—can feel like a scavenger hunt. Cedar Rapids Pediatric Dentistry keeps it simple: first molars, lost teeth, and the occasional lollipop-induced cavity are all part of the routine here. The office sits at 2218 1st Ave NE, a stretch of Cedar Rapids where the sidewalks are wide enough for strollers and the parking doesn’t require a GPS.

Pediatric dentistry isn’t just smaller chairs and cartoon wallpaper—it’s about timing fluoride treatments, tracking jaw development, and explaining why flossing matters without triggering a meltdown. This practice handles the full spectrum, from infant exams to adolescent braces prep, all under one roof. Questions about thumb-sucking consequences or when to schedule that first orthodontic consult? A call to (319) 364-2413 connects you directly to someone who’s answered them before.

The New Bohemia district has its breweries and bike trails, but for the under-18 crowd, a dentist who won’t treat them like miniature adults is the real neighborhood perk. If you’re mapping out errands near Collins Road or just need a quick route, the office is two blocks east of the library—close enough to combine with a post-appointment book run. No promises on the lack of tears, but at least the drive home is short.
