Milestone Kids Dentistry: A Pediatric Dentist That Treats Kids Like Kids
Ever heard the phrase, “it’s like pulling teeth?” At Milestone Kids Dentistry, that’s a positive correlation! We’re here to change the notion that kids will always dread going to the dentist. Friendly dental care from an early age sets the stage for better overall health and confident smiles.
Since 2014, our caring pediatric dentists have given hundreds of kids a dental experience that is comfortable, fun, and age-appropriate. Our dental offices in Arlington, Lake Stevens, and Snohomish make parents happy and kids even happier with an experience that is excellent for the whole family.
Our Mission: Giving Kids Positive Experiences at the Dentist
We know that pediatric dental care is about so much more than just cleaning teeth. Your child deserves to build a lifelong, positive, and confident relationship with the dentist. Forming healthy habits early gives kids the chance to take part in their own overall health from a young age.
Milestone Kids Dentistry creates a fun, empowering space where your child feels comfortable, supported, and excited to care for their smile. We use special vocabulary, comfortable tools, and train every member of our team to care for all children, including neurodivergent or special needs kids.
Kid-Friendly Terms at Milestone Kids Dentistry
Here are some of the common terms we use:
- “Sugar bugs” → cavities or decay
- “Funny air” → nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
- “Sleepy juice” → needle or shot
- “Tooth tickler”, “water whistle” → drill
- “Tooth dance”, “wiggle a tooth” -> extractions or pulling teeth
- “Count teeth” → dental examination
- “Tickle teeth” → dental cleaning
Please support our mission by refraining from using the technical dental terms you might hear as an adult.

Dental Care for Neurodivergent Children

For children with autism, sensory differences, anxiety, or ADD/ADHD, a safe space to be themselves while receiving dental care makes all the difference. We’re proud to have a sensory-friendly office and trained staff who can care for all children.

There are so many reasons our team has been trusted by hundreds of parents to treat their children with respect and compassion. Don’t just hear it from us – nearly 1,000 people have left us five-star reviews across our locations in Arlington, Lake Stevens, and Snohomish!
We love being part of everyday life in the communities around us. You’ll often find our team at local festivals, farmers markets, sporting events, tournaments, and family-friendly gatherings, including favorites like the Strawberry Festival in Marysville and Aquafest in Lake Stevens.
Our school involvement is hands-on and service-focused. When a school needs extra help running a booth or supporting an event, we’re happy to pitch in. We help where we’re needed and spend time connecting with students, parents, and staff.
We’re also passionate about helping kids build healthy habits early. Throughout the year, we visit schools, camps, daycares, and youth programs to lead age-appropriate dental hygiene presentations. These talks cover smart food choices, simple ways to care for teeth, and why oral health matters at every age.
