Pinnacle Pediatric Dentistry

Pinnacle Pediatric Dentistry is a dedicated pediatric dental clinic located at 1006 Ace Dr, Berea, KY 40403. Led by owner and pediatric dentist Dr. Eric Jacobson, the practice specializes in providing comprehensive oral health care for patients aged 0 to 18. Their core mission is to create an enjoyable, comfortable, educational, and fun environment for young patients, aiming to build positive relationships with children and their families for years to come. The clinic adheres to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommendations, advising a child's first dental visit within six months of their first tooth eruption or no later than 12 months of age. This early intervention allows for proper education on oral health care and dietary habits for parents, and ensures newly-erupted teeth receive appropriate care. Pinnacle Pediatric Dentistry offers a wide array of services tailored to the unique needs of children. These include routine cleanings and exams, preventative care such as sealants and fluoride treatments, and restorative procedures like fillings (white and stainless steel molar crowns, white esthetic crowns for the smile zone). They also address more complex needs with options for nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") for anxious patients and general anesthesia for children who are too young, have severe anxiety, medical conditions, or extensive cavities, often working with a specialized anesthesiologist either in-office or at a hospital. Additionally, they provide tongue-tie therapy. The practice is committed to utilizing advanced dental techniques and technologies, including digital X-rays which use 80% less radiation than traditional ones, to ensure the best possible care. They are in-network with most insurances and Medicaid plans to make dental care accessible. Patient reviews frequently highlight the compassionate and caring nature of Dr. Jacobson and his staff, their ability to make children feel comfortable and at ease, and the positive experiences even during complex procedures. The emphasis on a kid-friendly design, activities, and behavior management techniques helps ensure a stress-free visit for young patients.
