About Oregon Kids Pediatric Dentistry

Oregon Kids Pediatric Dentistry originated because Dr. Lentfer felt it was time to open her own practice so she had the control to treat patients in a manor she was treated by dentists and doctors when she grew up, a way that is fading in our current day….taking time with her patients! Dr. Lentfer enjoys getting to know her patients and developing treatment plans for each individual child. She truly believes there is no one way to treat a child and encourages open communication with patients and parents to create a treatment plan that fits your child’s needs.
