The three closest pediatric dentists to Stratham
1. Exeter Pediatric Dentistry (top pick)
40 Portsmouth Avenue, Exeter · (603) 778-0400
Portsmouth Avenue is Route 108, the same road that runs through the middle of Stratham. For most Stratham families this is the nearest pediatric specialist.
Why it ranks first:
- One specialist, every visit. Dr. Natalie Laucius sees every patient, so your child builds trust with one dentist instead of meeting someone new each time.
- In-office IV sedation with a dedicated anesthesia provider. A nurse anesthesiologist handles sedation and monitoring so Dr. Natalie can focus on the dental work.
- Training. Dr. Natalie has a dual Ivy League education: she graduated as valedictorian from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and completed her pediatric residency at Yale New Haven Hospital. She is board certified in pediatric dentistry.
- Child-focused throughout. The team uses a "Tell, Show, Do" approach that helps nervous kids know what to expect.
- Parent feedback. A 5.0-star average across 107 Google reviews.
- Ages. First tooth through age 21.
