Dr. Bana Ball provides honest, genuine dental care with an individualized approach for every child. At Shady Grove Pediatric Dentistry, we don’t just treat symptoms, we work with you to resolve the causes of dental issues and create good habits that will last a lifetime. We focus on preventive care and minimally invasive treatments to keep little smiles happy, healthy, and excited to visit their dental home. For more serious problems, we can also provide sedation dentistry in a hospital setting.
Dr. Bana Ball is more than a board-certified pediatric dentist. She is a mother of two young children, so she has first-hand experience of what life with little ones is like. She knows that your child is your world, and she understands the joys and challenges of being a parent. Through her practice, she always treats her patients the way she treats her own children. She lives and practices by “The Golden Rule.”
Dr. Ball always had the dream of opening her own practice so she could operate according to her own personal dental care philosophy. She values providing truly customized treatment options that fit the needs of each individual child and family. She practiced this way for nearly a decade while living in Baltimore, but this all changed when the private practice where she worked was sold to a dental management company, and the corporate ownership model took over. The impersonal practice style that followed was the reason Dr. Ball decided to build her own dental office. She chose Rockville because she and her husband realized this is where they wanted to raise their children. By founding Shady Grove Pediatric Dentistry, she is able to create custom treatment plans for every patient and carry them out with continuity of care. Because she will see every child every time, Dr. Ball can create real relationships and personally serve the community she and her family now call home.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that your child see a dentist by the time they turn one year old, or within 6 months of whenever their first tooth grows in. Seeing a pediatric dentist early lets us track your child’s oral health effectively, and ensures that you can be fully informed during the very important early childhood years.
