My 4 yo has been afraid of going to the dentist. He would never allow the hygienist to look in his mouth. Since we started going to Dinosaur Dental that has changed! The hygienists and dentists are the most caring and compassionate people. They took the time to make my son feel comfortable and explained everything. They even cleaned my sons stuffed animal’s teeth, that he brought! I would highly recommend this practice.
We love Dinosaur Dental. They are quick, clean, friendly, and professional. My kids love it here, especially with the TV’s on the ceiling so they can enjoy Netflix while getting work done, it helps distract them from the less comfortable moments. I drive 1 hr 20 minutes to take my kids here because the quality is really worth the drive.
I was amazed at the professional, friendly staff. They made my daughter feel so comfortable and worked incredibly fast to keep her that way. They know their job and do it exceptionally well. I highly recommend this practice!
We LOVE this dentist office! The excitement our kids have, just driving by the building thinking they have an appointment is unreal. From the minute you walk in, to the minute you walk out, it’s obvious that your child’s comfort is their top priority! They’ve turned a dreadful and sometimes scary experience for a child into something worthwhile and engaging to ensure a lifelong healthy habit. Our boys can’t get enough of the giant dinosaur on the roof, always careful not to get eaten by him as they sneak in and out of the office.

Bio coming soon!
Dr. Ayah Rashwan is a board-certified pediatric dentist. She was raised in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida with the dream of following her parents footsteps into a career in health care. Ayah grew up dancing and playing soccer, but it was through after school piano lessons when she learned that she liked working with her hands. As a University of Florida undergrad, Ayah volunteered with Streetlight, a palliative care hospital program that focused on children and adolescents with chronic illnesses. This experience helped Ayah realize that she wanted to align her career with pediatric populations and the preventative arm of dentistry. Ayah completed a Bachelor's degree in Biology, with a double major in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology and Family, Youth, and Community Sciences, as well as a minor in Business. She then completed her doctorate training at the University Of Kentucky College Of Dentistry. With dental school complete, she pivoted to the Big Apple to pursue her passion in pedodontics by entering an advanced training program at NYU Langone's Pediatric Dentistry program in Brooklyn, NY. Outside of dentistry, Dr. Rashwan can be found reading or doing hot yoga. Her hobbies also include traveling, nutrition, snowboarding, and appreciating the underwater beauty of the ocean when scuba diving.
