Dr. Donald C. Peterson, DDS

Pediatric dentistry bridges the gap between clinical care and a child’s comfort—no easy balance. On Cedarwood Drive, just off Muscatine’s quieter commercial stretch, this practice handles everything from first dental checkups to orthodontic screenings without the frills of a chain clinic. The second-floor suite at 2104 Cedarwood Dr #204 sits above the street-level hustle, a deliberate choice for families who prefer a low-key visit over a shopping-plaza setting.

Routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, and cavity prevention dominate the schedule here, but emergencies—knocked-out teeth, sudden pain—get addressed without the usual wait. Unlike general dentists, the focus narrows to ages infancy through adolescence, which means equipment scaled for small mouths and explanations tailored to nervous kids (or their equally nervous parents). No promises of balloons or treasure chests; just the standard scope of pediatric dental work, from sealants to space maintainers.

Directions matter when the office isn’t front-and-center. A quick search for 2104 Cedarwood Dr #204 pulls up the exact spot—no guesswork about which building or floor. Parking fills the lot out front, though afternoon slots tighten when nearby offices empty out. The entrance is unmarked except for the suite number; a detail worth noting before heading upstairs.

Questions about insurance coverage, sedation options, or that first appointment? The line at (563) 263-1000 connects directly to the office—no automated menus, no transfers. Calls during business hours reach someone who can confirm availability or walk through prep instructions for a filling. For everything else, the map link pins the location without extra commentary.
