Dr. Kendra Martin

Seventh Avenue in Charleston has a quiet way of mixing old storefronts with the kind of services every neighborhood needs. Dr. Kendra Martin keeps a pediatric dental practice right where families pass by on their way to school or the grocery store—140 7th Ave, Charleston, WV 25303. Kids who might otherwise dread the dentist chair tend to leave with less fuss after a visit here, though the office itself stays out of the spotlight.

Cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments are standard, but the practice also handles space maintainers and interceptive orthodontics without making a production of it. Parents who want to avoid the downtown parking hassle appreciate that the building sits mid-block, where the sidewalk is wide enough to park a stroller and still let others pass. The category doesn’t usually get much fanfare, yet it’s the kind of place that keeps a street feeling lived-in.

Add the contact info once near the end: call (304) 342-4422. A map and directions can be pulled up at this link. Most people just say it’s the dentist with the blue awning you can spot from the bus stop.
