Our Practice
Welcome to our brand-new, state-of-the art pediatric dental office- where little smiles are our biggest joy! Every child is unique, and so is our care. We focus on prevention and education to help your child develop healthy habits and happy smiles for life.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child with a smile.

Why Families Choose Us in Arbutus
At Candy Care Pediatric Dental, we’ve created more than just a dental office—we’ve built a Sweet Escape where children feel safe, confident, and excited about their visits. Dr. Gupta is a board-certified pediatric dentist. Her residency program was affiliated with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital (Level 1 pediatric trauma Center) and Mailman Segal Center, which is a well-renowned leading clinic for children with autism. This has given her extensive experience in treating children with autism, sensory sensitivities, and special needs. Our practice is designed with your child’s comfort in mind, featuring a sensory-friendly environment, same-day emergency appointments, and hospital privileges at Baltimore Children’s Surgery Center and Kernan Hospital for complex cases.
