The need for pediatric dentistry in St. Peters influenced Dr. Sarah Smith to open her office here in June 2000. Originally staffed with only two people, the practice now employs nine. Dr. Kristen Fahlen joined the practice in August 2004.

Dr. Sarah and Dr. Kristen’s office is a great place for kids! It was specifically designed for our “kid clientele.” Beginning in the reception area, there is a fantastic two-story playhouse complete with windows and stairs. Colorful pictures decorate the reception area walls while up above an electric train circles a track. Toys, books and puzzles are set out to keep anxious children occupied. With such a fun and playful setting, Dr. Sarah and Dr. Kristen hope to make “going to the dentist” an enjoyable experience.

We create an environment in which your child will feel happy and relaxed. The office walls showcase our “Patient Photo Hall of Fame” for your child to see. Children’s posters, books, magazines and toys continue throughout the office. Kids can even play video games and wear sunglasses while getting their teeth cleaned. Above each dental chair is a hanging mobile to occupy children’s attention as well. For patient education, children can practice brushing Dino the Dinosaur’s oversized teeth with his giant toothbrush.

Our office is also a safe and sterile environment. We follow all ADA, CDC, HIPPA and OSHA guidelines for infection and privacy control. Additionally, all instruments and hand pieces are autoclaved for sterilization. Our office is modern with all the current technology. For children who need general anesthesia, Dr. Sarah and Dr. Kristen have privileges at a local children’s hospital.

Dr. Sarah and Dr. Kristen want to provide your child with the highest quality of dental care from toddler to teen. The doctors and the entire staff are completely committed to putting the needs of your child first. Our main goal is to provide excellence in your child’s oral health. We believe that a child should receive friendly and compassionate preventative care. We are committed to maintaining open communication while still respecting your privacy. Above all, we want all children, including those with special needs, to have a positive experience at our office.

We always welcome new patients!
