Pediatric Dentist in Harrisburg, NC

Finding a pediatric dentist your family trusts takes time, and parents in Harrisburg often start by looking for someone close. But proximity isn’t always the whole picture. Many Harrisburg families drive about 20 minutes to our office on University City Boulevard because the level of personalized dental care they find here is difficult to match at a practice that happens to be a few minutes closer to home.

At University Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Funny is a board-certified pediatric dentist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry with over 15 years of experience caring for infants, children and teens. She is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and a member of the ADA, the AAPD, the National Dental Association and the North Carolina Association of Pediatric Dentistry. For Harrisburg families looking for tongue-tie and lip-tie treatment, a trusted dental home or a board-certified specialist, our office is worth the drive.

What Harrisburg Families Find at Our Office

Harrisburg is one of the Charlotte area’s fastest-growing communities, and many of the families who have settled there are actively building their children’s care teams. Our Harrisburg patients tell us that what keeps them coming back is the way Dr. Funny runs appointments. She does not rush. She greets your child by name, takes time to build comfort before any treatment begins and adjusts her approach based on how your child is responding that day.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child’s first dental visit happen by age one, followed by checkups and cleanings every six months after that. Building those visits around a provider who your child actually trusts makes the routine stick. For Harrisburg families who have dealt with resistant or anxious kids at other offices, our sensory-friendly environment often changes the experience entirely.

A Practice Designed Around Children

Our office features private rooms, adjustable lighting, sensory toys and a low-stimulation setup for children who are sensitive to sound or new environments. For Harrisburg children who have struggled at other dental offices, these accommodations make a real difference in how a visit goes from start to finish.

Owner-Operated, Not a Corporate Group

University Pediatric Dentistry has never been part of a dental service organization. Dr. Funny owns the practice and works in it every day, which means Harrisburg patients always see the same dentist. That continuity builds the kind of trust that makes routine oral health care easier for both children and parents over time.
