Pediatric dentistry isn’t just about checkups—it’s about setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Inside Boston Children’s Hospital, you’ll find a dental practice dedicated entirely to kids and teens. This isn’t a standalone clinic but part of the hospital’s Department of Dentistry, which means it’s equipped to handle everything from routine cleanings to more specialized care like orthodontic evaluations or treatment for dental injuries.

The practice is at 300 Longwood Avenue, right in the medical campus area where families already head for pediatric care. Being inside the hospital gives it an added layer of convenience—especially for parents juggling multiple appointments or those whose kids might need coordinated care. Whether it’s a first dental visit, cavity prevention, or managing developmental concerns, the focus here is on making dental health less intimidating for younger patients.

Questions about services or scheduling? The team can be reached directly at (617) 355-6571. For first-time visitors, it’s smart to pull up directions ahead of time—Longwood’s hospital complex is sprawling, and the dentistry department isn’t always the first thing people spot. Pro tip: if you’re coming from Brookline or the Fenway area, the T’s green line drops you a short walk away.
