Dr. Cara DeLeon is happy to call Savannah her home. She spent her high school years in Augusta, Georgia, but also had the unique opportunity to travel and live around the world, in places like Alaska and Germany, while her father, an orthodontist, served in the military. Dr. Cara graduated from the University of Georgia where she majored in Dietetics.
After college, she completed dental school at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) in Augusta. While at MCG, she was very involved in the Student Dental Association, serving as President in her junior year. Before graduating, she was awarded the International College of Dentists Leadership Award, the Georgia Dental Association Outstanding Leader Award, and the Public Health Award.
Dr. Cara was also inducted into the service based honor society, Alpha Upsilon Phi. After graduating dental school, Dr. Cara completed two years of pediatric specialty training at the University of Louisville, providing her the opportunity to work and learn in an outstanding children's hospital.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Dental Association all recommend scheduling an appointment once your child's first tooth has come in, which is usually between 6 and 12 months.
As an introductory meeting, this first friendly visit gives Dr. Cara a chance to check for signs of early decay, as well as talk to you about cavity prevention and proper teeth-cleaning techniques.
In addition, in the event of a tooth injury or emergency, you will have already established a dental home at Pediatric Dentistry of Savannah just in case.

Our team at Pediatric Dentistry of Savannah may recognize that your child seems nervous before or during treatment.
If this occurs, we may recommend nitrous oxide as a way to help make your child's dental appointment more comfortable.
Nitrous oxide is often called "laughing gas, " and is a blend of two gases-oxygen and nitrous oxide.
It is inhaled through the nose, and after just a few minutes the child experiences a sense of calm relaxation.
Throughout the sedation, your child will remain awake.
