The Tooth Ferry Pediatric Dentistry: Dr. Megan Posthuma, DDS

Pediatric dentistry isn’t just about cavities. In the Crown Hill area, a practice specializes in the kind of care that makes kids—even the wary ones—sit still for a cleaning. The focus here is on preventive checkups, fluoride treatments, and those first-lost-tooth celebrations that somehow turn into milestones. No grand promises, just the steady work of keeping small smiles intact.

The office sits at 8757 Holman Rd NW, a stretch where residential quiet meets the occasional hum of nearby Ballard’s busier streets. It’s the kind of address parents note down after a playground chat or a school newsletter mention. Questions about sealants or thumb-sucking habits? They field those too, along with the logistics of scheduling around naptimes and soccer practice. For the direct line: (206) 486-7260.

Crown Hill’s sidewalks don’t scream “dental hub,” but that’s part of the appeal. The neighborhood leans more toward bungalows and coffee shops than medical plaques, which might explain why a place like this fits right in. Double-check the map if you’re coming from Phinney Ridge—the turn’s easier to miss than you’d think.
