Our unique business model was developed by Dr. Ben Unruh, who is passionate about putting children at ease and delivering a positive, pain-free experience every visit. Dr. Ben was born and raised in a small town located just outside of Wichita, KS. He received a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Kansas in 2004 and went on to obtain his DDS from the UMKC School of Dentistry in 2008.
After receiving his DDS, he spent four years in the National Health Service Corps providing dental care to underserved children. He went on to complete specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at Northwestern University in Chicago where he was named Chief Resident in his second year of residency. While attending Northwestern, Ben began practicing at Jenkins & Leblanc Dentistry for Children.
In 2017, Ben saw a need for a Pediatric Dentist in the Blue Springs, MO area and decided to open Hello! Pediatric Dentistry. When he is not in the office, Dr. Ben enjoys spending time with his family's dogs, golfing and watching the Kansas City Chiefs.
