Dr. Andrea Lochan

Most dental offices cater to the general public, but pediatric specialists focus entirely on the needs of children and teens. Dr. Andrea Lochan operates a practice dedicated to younger patients, handling everything from first checkups to orthodontic prep. The office sits along Elm Street in Princess Anne, a quiet stretch where families often stop between school runs and errands. Pediatric dentistry isn’t just about smaller chairs—it’s about explaining procedures in ways kids actually understand.

Princess Anne isn’t a sprawling city, so finding specialized care can mean relying on a handful of trusted names. This practice covers the basics—cleanings, fillings, and sealants—along with the less routine, like sedation options for anxious children or early interventions for misaligned teeth. Parents in the area often note how few practices in the region limit their scope to pediatric care, which makes a specialist like this one a practical choice for those avoiding the drive to Salisbury or the shore.

Booking an appointment usually starts with a call to (410) 651-5151, where the focus stays on scheduling rather than upselling. First visits tend to run longer, since they include a full assessment and a crash course in brushing techniques (because no child has ever voluntarily mastered the two-minute rule). Follow-ups are more efficient, assuming the patient hasn’t lost their toothbrush between visits.

The office is easy to find—just head to 12165 Elm St and look for the sign. Princess Anne’s pace is slower than the cities, which might be why the practice feels more like a neighborhood fixture than a clinical stop. Either way, it’s there when you need it.
