Iowa Pediatric Dental Center - Donald C Peterson Jr At Iowa Pediatric Dental Center, we provide the highest quality care in a fun, child-friendly setting. We want your child to think of the dentist as their best buddy - and that's why we've equipped our facilities with the latest dental innovations, specially designed for pediatric patients. Our team genuinely loves kids, so we work hard to create a safe, comfortable and fun experience for every one who walks through our doors!

Sure, we focus on education and prevention, but we do it all in a playful space that fosters learning.
Services
We recommend oral health exams twice a year, preferably during your child's bi-annual teeth cleaning. Our dentist will examine your. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. They always treat kids with respect and keep them informed with what they are doing, and why. Minimum wait time, kid-friendly environment.
Thank you for your interest in scheduling with us. We know dental health is about more than keeping teeth healthy - it's about keeping children happy. When dentistry is this fun, you can be sure your child will grow into a healthy, smiling adult. Please provide your contact information below and our office will contact you.
Great dental hygiene starts with routine cleanings for your child with a dentist. During appointments, we'll show your child how to floss, brush and develop a great health care regimen he or she can carry into adulthood. We also make regularly scheduled cleanings a time of discovery as our team identifies and talks about each instrument they use.
A winter coat protects you from cold temperatures; a raincoat from a downpour. Dental sealants are like coats, protecting your child's teeth from harsh elements and decay. Dental sealants fill in the grooves on the chewing surfaces of teeth with a thin, plastic-like coating. We usually apply them to permanent molars (back teeth) soon after they erupt to prevent bacteria and food from getting stuck in the creases. The application process is easy and painless. We simply "paint" the sealants on a clean, dry tooth surface and then harden it with a special light.

It was my 8 month old daughters first time going to the dentist and we will be back! Very quick and she loved that she got another rubber duck and toothbrush

I am so impressed with the staff at Iowa Pediatric. My son is extremely anxious, especially at any sort of doctors office. The waiting room is set up for kids, so he was able to play instead of sitting still and waiting for the doctor. The nurses and doctor sweet, patient and understanding. but they didn't pressure him to do things he was uncomfortable with.

They were more concerned with building a relationship and trust with him than getting us in and out as fast as they could. After almost 3 years of fighting every step of the way, I think we finally found our fit. We have a follow up next week, and for the first time ever, I'm not dreading it.

I bring all three of my kids here. The dentist that I have seen are always very kind and they answer any questions or concerns I might have. Plus my kids love the play room and the prizes they get after their visits. I highly recommend this place

The dentist hand slipped with the drill in her hand and cut the area under my daughter's lip. I had to immediately take my daughter to the hospital and she had to get 3 stitches. After my lawyer contacted them 2 weeks later, they sent me a letter saying that they feel they cannot meet the dental needs of my children and to seek dental care somewhere else. Lol. No duh, like I would ever take my daughters back there after cutting her.

The staff is so friendly and able to explain everything to my son before they do it (he gets apprehensive about things) and myself. Also, explains and shows you want needs to be done if there is follow up needed. Highly recommend and the environment/office/scenery is very kid friendly.

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Evans! After lots of uncertainty (from me) on the best way to treat my son's cavities, Dr. Evans provided a solution that was safe, effective and efficient for our situation and my son's age. I felt at ease the entire appointment and felt Dr. Evans treated my son as he would treat his own child.

I love the consideration of our dentists. They make sure we have all knowledge we may need of follow-up care. The part I love the most is that they remind us the kids NEED to brush their teeth daily, but at no time have they criticized us if they are not. They understand that life can be chaotic sometimes.

Very professional and knowledgeable staff. My 8 year old daughter had to have a baby tooth pulled because it was stubborn and wouldn't fall out on its own. The dentist was amazing and made her feel at ease. He was kind and caring and we can't thank him enough for such a job well done!

We love this place, so much more easier with kids then some not very gentle dentist. Definitely recommend taking kids here!
