pediatric dentistry made easy
About Dr. Lana
Hi! I'm Dr. Lana.
Thanks for visiting!
I am a Pediatric Dentist based in New York City.
​
In this digital age there is certainly no shortage of information out there... but searching through mommy facebook groups and google for advice and information can be daunting!
​
Parents want the best for their children, and I would like to help bring that science-based information from trusted sources straight to moms and dads everywhere. Whenever possible I also prefer dental products that are more natural and environmentally friendly.
​
I believe that all children should have the opportunity to be at their best dental health. Though education and prevention, this can be achieved.
I am open to any ideas or topics you would like to discuss. To contact me, send an email to DrLanaDDS@gmail.com.

"Cooking in Queens Kitchen"
"Once my daughter's pediatric dentist moved out of state I was searching for a pediatric dentist that would be just as patient, gentle, attentive, friendly, and caring. Dr. Lana is all the words I just described. My daughter was terrified due to a previous negative experience and Dr. Lana was able to get her to relax and calm down. I would definitely recommend..."
