Community Involvement

Community Focus

We are proud members of the community we serve. The staff at Pediatric Smiles Dentistry has participated in several outreach projects in our local area.

We have had the privilege of supporting Martha Lafitte Nature Sanctuary, The Northland Early Education Center, The Liberty Hospital Foundation, and many local PTAs and sports teams! We’re always looking for new ways to support our community, so if you know of an individual, group, or charity that could benefit from our attention, be sure to let us know!

And, if you’d like to get involved in our current community efforts, we’d love to have you, so give us a call to join in!

What Families Say About Us

Families across Kansas City Northland trust Pediatric Smiles for compassionate, judgment-free care in a warm environment. Our patients appreciate Dr. Francois gentle approach, our commitment to making dental visits comfortable, and the personalized attention we give to every smile.

Amy Cohoon

They were so great. Kiera (hopefully i spelled that right!) was wonderful with my 7 year old daughter. She has sensory issues with certain things and they were so patient and kind and sweet with her. And not just Kieran, but everyone from checkin to checkout was wonderful. We will be going back and definitely recommend to others, especially if you have really sensitive littles that need just an extra but of patience! Thanks so much!

Molly K

We had an emergency dental situation and as new patients, I was thrilled with how quickly the office got us in for a consultation. My daughter was nervous but the dental assistant was so nice and relatable and made my 9 year old daughter feel comfortable and at ease, singing Encanto songs with her. When we came back for her procedure, Dr Francois was great!!!

My daughter had her very 1st dental appointment today and I was really nervous. All my butterflies were put to rest immediately, the staff is wonderful. They let my baby be her normal busy self until it was time for cleaning. The dentist assistant turned on Moana for her and spoke calmly to her while she explained everything she was going to do before proceeding...

Jeni Schrimsher

We love Dr. Francois and Pediatric Smiles. The entire team is friendly and professional. It's easy to get appointments scheduled and the office is almost always running right on time. My son was afraid of the dentist and we had two unsuccessful appointments at other dentists before coming to Pediatric Smiles. They explained everything that was going to happen and made my son feel comfortable. Now he loves going to the dentist!

Sydney McDonald

Showed up two weeks early for an appointment and they worked us in to save us a drive! They tirelessly worked with me to get my insurance issues worked out. Addie and B were amazing with my girls and made them feel so at ease which is a blessing at the dentist. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend bringing your kiddos here.
