Where Kids Love the Dentist

At our Puyallup pediatric dental office, we specialize in comprehensive, gentle dental care within a stress-free, enchanting environment tailored to young patients. Our office has been transformed into Featherland Forest — a whimsical, interactive play space and the magical home of Lumi the Tooth Fairy.

We’re proud to be one of the only pediatric dental offices to prioritize exhibit-style experiences, creating a fully immersive environment where learning about oral health is both fun and memorable. Every corner of Featherland Forest is thoughtfully designed to spark joy and curiosity, helping little ones feel safe, celebrated, and genuinely excited about caring for their teeth. From playful installations to hands-on activities, the entire experience encourages positive reinforcement, turning routine dental visits into magical milestones.

You can also bring the magic home with Lumi and the Floss Trees, your child’s very own storybook companion! Kids can bring their book to appointments to collect stickers and special prizes, adding even more fun to each visit.
