Cobblestone Kids Practice History:
Our Mission and Philosophy
Every great smile has a story, and the Cobblestone Kids practice is deeply rooted in a passion for providing exceptional, specialized children's oral healthcare. From our very first location, we set out to build a child-centered dental home where infants, toddlers, and teenagers could feel completely safe, validated, and happy.
At Cobblestone Kids Pediatric Dentistry, we believe a dentist visit should be a positive milestone, not a source of family stress or anxiety. We know that a child's early experiences with a doctor shape their long-term attitudes toward wellness. Throughout the history of the Cobblestone Kids practice, our board-certified specialists have focused entirely on gentle, non-invasive behavioral management — treating every family with craftsmanship and empathy, and removing fear from the equation of routine cleanings and exams.
Dr. George, Dr. Katie, Dr. Tran, Dr. Mattie, Dr. Goldie, and Dr. Lindsay are all dedicated to pediatric dentistry, and you'll know as soon as you step into our Philadelphia, Cherry Hill, or Glen Mills office that your child’s health, happiness, and well-being are our top priorities.

The Foundation of the Cobblestone Kids Practice History
Our practice didn't happen by accident; it was built out of a real need for high-quality, specialized pediatric care. Looking back at the early days of the Cobblestone Kids practice, our founders recognized that traditional adult clinics often felt cold and intimidating to young minds. To fix this, we created something different: vibrant colors, interactive play areas, and child-sized equipment designed to welcome young families warmly.
As the practice grew, our clinical philosophy evolved around the modern "Tell-Show-Do" behavioral framework. Recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, this method ensures we explain every dental tool using playful, non-threatening vocabulary before any care begins. By prioritizing honest, transparent communication with children themselves — not just their parents — we help kids build genuine curiosity and trust in their providers. That's the heart of our child centered dental home philosophy.
5 Uncompromising Pillars of Our Practice
To maintain absolute operational consistency as we expand, the Cobblestone Kids Practice is driven by 5 core clinical principles:
-
Specialized Pediatric Expertise: Every doctor on our team has completed years of rigorous, post-doctoral residency training focused solely on youth oral anatomy and child psychology.
-
Fear-Free Anxiety Reduction: We proactively customize visits for anxious children using safe pediatric dental sedation options, such as mild laughing gas, to ensure absolute comfort.
-
Proactive Preventative Shielding: We partner with parents to stop decay early using advanced teeth cleanings, remineralizing fluoride, and protective sealants.
-
Inclusive Sensory Accommodation: Our offices are structured to support children with diverse physical, cognitive, or sensory healthcare requirements.
-
Centralized Data Transparency: We provide clear, automated reporting dashboards and parent communication tools to keep your child's care perfectly organized.
Adhering to these pillars ensures that every Cobblestone Kids practice location delivers the exact same high standard of care. And behind the doctors at every location stands our pediatric dental support staff — the hygienists, assistants, and front desk coordinators who learn your child's name, their favorite show, and exactly how to make them comfortable.
Community Roots:
The Cobblestone Kids Practice in the Neighborhood
We believe that authentic healthcare requires an active, local relationship with the neighborhoods we serve. An essential part of who we are is our commitment to regional health education: our trusted pediatric dental team partners regularly with local schools, pediatricians, and community groups to provide practical resources on toddler nutrition, baby bottle safety, and early milestone habits.
According to early health data tracked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), establishing a dedicated dental home by age one significantly reduces a child's lifetime risk of severe tooth decay. By keeping the Cobblestone Kids practice open and accessible, we make sure local parents have a trusted, board-certified partner protecting their children's developing smiles every step of the way.
Why Families Trust Cobblestone Kids
Ask around the neighborhood and you'll hear the same themes: doctors who take their time, our pediatric dental support staff who communicate through text and email, and offices that kids genuinely enjoy. Why families trust Cobblestone Kids ultimately comes down to consistency — the same warm, collaborative pediatric dental care whether you visit us in Philadelphia, Cherry Hill, or Glen Mills.
Wonderful Experience All Around!
The staff is so friendly and welcoming and the dentist was really great with my son. The office is beautiful and perfectly set up for children.
They also communicate a lot through text and email, which I find to be so much easier and convenient. Would recommend to all parents/children without hesitation.

We Would Never Go Anywhere Else!
My kids have been going to this practice since we’ve begun their dental care and we would never go anywhere else. Offices are clean, colorful and bright.
Televisions and content for kids for distraction are key and they have them along with little toys has part of goodie bags at the end of every cleaning visit.

My Only Regret Is Not Finding This Practice Sooner!
My daughter is a patient at Cobblestone Kids. She has seen several doctors in the practice, and all of the visits have been beyond what I could have ever imagined for a young child!
All of my encounters with the staff have been great—from scheduling with the front desk, to billing inquiries with the office manager, to advice from the clinicians. My only regret is not finding this practice sooner!
