Dr. Pike, Dentistry for Children

In Portland’s West Slope neighborhood, parents know dental care can feel daunting for little ones. Dr. Pike, Pediatric Dentistry for Children, keeps visits matter-of-fact and kid-friendly, starting with cleanings and exams as early as the first tooth appears. Fluoride treatments and sealants follow naturally once those molars appear, making cavities easier to prevent down the road.

Find Dr. Pike at the top of the Westgate Plaza: 5440 SW Westgate Dr #380, Portland, OR 97221. It’s tucked between the dry cleaner and the optical shop—hard to miss on your way through the parking lot. The suite shares a floor plate with other professional offices, so there’s no chance of wandering into the wrong waiting area.

A quick call ahead saves time on the day you arrive. Just dial 503-297-1711 to coordinate check-ins or clarify any paperwork. They’ll email forms you can finish online before you get in the car, cutting down on the lobby queue. Same-day openings occasionally pop up, but don’t rely on it—plan the visit like any other school or work stop.

Locate the office quickly on the map; the lobby kiosk points straight to suite 380 without circling back to the elevator. Afterward, stroll west toward the greenway trail for a post-appointment picnic—kids digest sugar-and-dentist stress a whole lot faster on fresh-cut grass.
