Cultivate
kids dentistry is a dedicated pediatric dental office located at 1008 Big Oak Ct Ste D, Knightdale, NC 27545. They serve Knightdale and surrounding areas including Raleigh, Wendell, Zebulon, and Eastern Wake County. The clinic is founded on the mission to enable children and caregivers to master and value the dental experience, with a vision to be the premier pediatric dental office in the region and decrease the incidence of cavities.
The clinic is led by
Dr. Gazdeck, a board-certified pediatric dentist and a mother of three. Her approach emphasizes treating children with the same care she would give her own, focusing on fostering positive experiences to help children grow into confident adult dental patients. Cultivate Kids Dentistry accepts new patients from birth up to age 12, with Dr. Gazdeck determining if a child is ready to transition to a general dentist based on their individual needs.
Cultivate Kids Dentistry offers a comprehensive range of pediatric dental services tailored to the unique needs of young patients. These services include:
Comprehensive Examinations: Thorough check-ups to assess
oral health.
Second Opinions (Consultations): Providing expert consultations and referrals from general dentists.
Oral Hygiene Instruction: Educating children and parents on proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Preventive Care: Including fluoride treatments and dental sealants to protect against cavities.
Restorative Care: Such as tooth-colored

The clinic prioritizes creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for children, understanding that early positive dental experiences are crucial for preventing future dental anxiety. They adhere to the American Academy of
Pediatric dentistry guidelines, recommending a child's first dental visit by age one or with the eruption of their first tooth, whichever comes first. This early intervention helps in educating parents on cavity prevention and establishing a "dental home" for the child. Cultivate Kids Dentistry is committed to providing high-quality dental work and prides itself on being a part of the Knightdale community.
