Dr. Leona Kotlyar comes from a long line of dentists, but what makes her a first is her dedication to dental care for children and adolescents. Ever since dental school, Dr. Kotlyar has been drawn to children, volunteering at daycares and schools to promote the importance of getting an early start on healthy habits and good oral care.

A Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Kotlyar knows how important it is to immediately engage her young patients. Working with children for so many years, she has garnered a long list of tricks of the trade to gain their trust. From telling a joke, playing show and tell or nicknaming her dental tools, Dr. Kotlyar makes the experience engaging and fun. Pristine Pediatric Dentistry is a green practice equipped with the latest technology including a painless laser for fillings that requires no anesthetics or needles.

Nothing is more important to Dr. Kotlyar than community outreach and education. She knows the mark that the first dental experience has on good future habits. For the past 14 years, Dr. Kotlyar makes weekly visits to local daycares dressed as a tooth fairy to teach preschoolers how to brush and be healthy. Complete with props and goody bags, she leaves an indelible impression that lasts a lifetime.
