Ruby Gelman DMD, Mallory Leibman DMD

Pediatric dentistry often feels like a separate world from the adult version—smaller chairs, brighter colors, and a quieter kind of urgency when something goes wrong. Ruby Gelman DMD, Leah Fine DMD handles those moments with a mix of routine checkups and the less predictable emergencies that send parents searching for help after school hours. Sedation options exist for children who need extra support during procedures, a detail that can shift a stressful visit into something manageable. The practice also keeps pediatric care at its core, meaning every cleaning, filling, or X-ray is approached with the understanding that a child’s comfort shapes their long-term relationship with dental health.
