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.
Kids enjoy ceiling-mounted TVs, fun distractions, rewards, and smiles at every step. Whether it’s a routine check-up, a special-needs appointment, or a complex procedure, our goal is the same: fearless kids, happy parents, and a dental home everyone loves coming back to with excitement. We look forward to welcoming you and your child with a smile. Please see our comfort menu below.

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.
