Welcome to Sherwood Pediatric Dentistry!

If you’re looking for a pediatric dentist in Austin who really gets kids, you’ve come to the right place. Sherwood Pediatric Dentistry sits right in north central Austin, and we welcome families from all over—Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, West Lake, and everywhere in between.

Here’s the thing: we know most kids would rather do just about anything than go to the dentist. That’s exactly why we’ve made it our mission to flip that script completely. We want your child walking out of here already asking when they can come back. And honestly? That happens more often than you’d think.

Got ideas on how we could make things even better for your kid? We’re always listening. Seriously, tell us what would help.

Our Office Isn’t Your Typical Dental Office

You know that sterile, intimidating feeling most dental offices have? Yeah, we got rid of all that. Walk into Sherwood, and you’ll see what we mean—our lobby looks more like a playroom than a waiting area. Books everywhere, toys scattered around, games to keep busy hands occupied. The kids who’ve been here before usually make a beeline straight for their favorite spot.

Every treatment room has its own TV too, which is a game-changer when you’re trying to keep a six-year-old still. They can watch their favorite shows while we work, and it makes the whole experience so much easier for everyone involved.

What We Actually Do Here

We handle everything a pediatric dentist in Austin should—regular cleanings, checkups, fillings, all the basics. But we also offer some more specialized stuff like soft-tissue laser treatments when needed. Whatever your child needs, we’ve got the training and equipment to handle it right here.

Not sure what services your kid needs? That’s completely normal. Just bring them in for a visit and we’ll figure it out together. No pressure, no judgment—just good dental care.

A Few Things That Set Us Apart

Living in Austin, you’ve got options when it comes to dentists. But here’s why families keep coming back to us:

We actually take time with each kid. No rushing through appointments because we’re overbooked. Your child gets the attention they deserve.

We explain everything in kid terms. Nobody likes being poked and prodded without knowing what’s happening. We make sure even the youngest patients understand what we’re doing and why.

The whole team here loves working with children. It’s not just a job—you can tell the difference when people genuinely enjoy what they do.

Special Needs? We’re Here for That Too

This part is really important to us. Dr. Sherwood has a son with cerebral palsy, so providing excellent dental care to kids with special needs isn’t just something we do—it’s personal. We understand how hard it can be to find a dentist who has the patience, experience, and genuine compassion needed to work with children who need extra support.

Every child is different, and we take the time to understand what works best for yours. Whether it’s sensory sensitivities, mobility challenges, or behavioral considerations, we adapt our approach to fit their needs. Finding the right pediatric dentist in Austin for a child with special needs shouldn’t feel impossible, and we’re committed to being that place for families who need us.

Ready to Give Us a Try?

Look, we could keep talking about how great we are, but the best way to see if Sherwood is the right fit for your family is to just come visit. Check out our website for more information, or give us a call to schedule an appointment.

We’re here, we’re ready, and we’re looking forward to meeting your kiddo. Who knows? You might just find that going to the dentist becomes something they actually look forward to. It happens more than you’d think around here.
