Spanaway Children's Dentistry today highlighted its commitment to making gentle, dependable dental care easier to reach for families across Pierce County, including parents searching for a pediatric dentist in Tacoma. The Spanaway practice provides complete care for children from their first baby teeth through the teen years, in a welcoming setting designed to keep kids relaxed and parents confident.

Care Designed Around Children

Children have different needs than adults, both physically and emotionally. The practice focuses on clear communication, explaining each step of a visit in words kids understand so that trust builds over time. Families looking for a children's dentist in Tacoma can find a full range of services in one location, including preventative dental care, pediatric restorative dentistry, root canal therapy for children, sedation dentistry, and orthodontic treatment. Everyday needs such as composite fillings, stainless steel crowns, dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, and pit and fissure sealants are also available.

For many families, Tacoma pediatric dentistry means finding a team that can handle routine visits and unexpected concerns under one roof. The practice welcomes new patients and emergency appointments, which helps parents know where to turn when a problem cannot wait.

Experienced Leadership and a Caring Team

Dr. Lucas Trerice earned his D.M.D. in the inaugural class of the UNLV School of Dental Medicine. He has worked exclusively with children since 2008, taught dental assisting for two years, and spent seven years with a nonprofit children's dental clinic. He is also a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Edward Wang and a team of hygienists and support staff work alongside him to deliver patient-centered care.

"Kids should enjoy going to the dentist," said Dr. Trerice. "When a child feels safe and understood, the visit goes better for everyone, and healthy habits are much easier to build."

Families have shared the difference this approach makes. One parent reported that a child with a fear of the dentist now looks forward to returning. Another said a hygienist's patient, gentle manner led to the first successful cleaning for a daughter on the autism spectrum.

Convenient for Tacoma Families

The office is located at 20709 Mountain Hwy E Suite 102 in Spanaway. Most Tacoma families reach the practice in under 20 minutes by heading south on Pacific Ave S through Parkland and continuing into Spanaway. Free on-site parking makes drop-off and pickup simple. Online scheduling is available, and office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 8 AM to 2 PM.

In addition to Tacoma, the practice serves families from Puyallup, Lakewood, Frederickson, South Hill, Graham, Eatonville, and Yelm.
