Meet Dr. Abbey Elson

Why did you become a pediatric dentist?

I have always loved working with kids – from nannying in high school to working at a pediatric dentist in college to now being a pediatric dentist myself! However, I considered plenty of other careers along the way. In college, I almost denied my dental school acceptance to become a phycologist (someone who studies algae – yes, like pond scum!)

In dental school, I even took the exam to become an oral surgeon and did an oral surgery externship where I lived alongside the oral surgery residents. It was there that I decided pediatric dentistry was for me. Nothing I saw lit me up quite like the pediatric cases. I couldn’t picture the rest of my career not being filled with brave and hilarious kiddos.

Why is being a pediatric dentist the best?

Being a pediatric dentist is the best job in the world because I empower kids to be their most confident selves. I can turn a scared and defiant kid into one who begs to come back. I transform fear into laughter and joy. I build trust and acceptance where before there was doubt and shame. I find creative ways to achieve what parents doubted we could accomplish.

I truly love the work I get to do. It is an honor to be the one who forever shapes how a child views going to the dentist! I have so many parents who say, “I hated going to the dentist as a kid.” My goal is to flip that on its head. I want my patients to grow up and say, “Going to the dentist as a kid was so FUN!”
