About Pawsitive Pediatric Dentistry
Pawsitive Pediatric Dentistry was founded by Dr. Milca Mendez-Ceballos with the vision of creating a dental home that is joyful, intentional, and deeply connected to the community. Our vision is simple: as a team we strive to educate and positively contribute to our community while having fun and providing intentional, high-quality dental care.
