Welcome to Pediatric Dental Center of North Idaho
Why choose a Pediatric dentist?
With an additional two years of specialized pediatric education, a board-certified pediatric dentist has the unique skills and training to treat kids, from their infant years through their teenage years.
Your child's first dental appointment
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday to ensure all is progressing well. Next appointments should be scheduled every six months or less, as early childhood caries (tooth decay) can develop rapidly.
What to expect
During the first visit, we’ll complete a thorough evaluation with digital X-rays and offer any necessary treatment as we plan for a lifetime of happy, healthy smiles.
Laughter
& Comfort
We’ll laugh and have fun as we make sure your child feels safe and comfortable. With video games in the waiting room and TVs in every room, your child won’t want to leave.
Education &
Healthy Habits
You know your child best. We’re here to help educate and guide you to make the right decisions for them. We’ll answer any questions and give you the tools to create healthy hygiene and nutritional habits.
Parents
Welcome

“Always a great experience!”
Always a great experience! My children are always treated so well. When I went to Dr. Ukich, I was so pleased to see the way he interacted with my children...he looked them in the eye and really spoke to them. My little girl was no longer nervous. He respected her as a little person and now both my girls love going to see Dr. John.
