A Pediatric Dentist is a specialist dedicated to the oral health of children and the monitoring of their facial growth and development. Our office is designed for treating children from infancy through adolescence, as well as the medically and the physically compromised. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child’s first visit to the dentist should occur by 12 months of age. This visit will enable Dr. Elliott or Dr. Molina to evaluate your child and introduce you to proper oral hygiene. Diet, fluoride, finger and pacifier habits and tooth eruption will be discussed to insure optimal dental health. WHAT IS A DIPLOMATE? Upon completion of specialty training, pediatric dentists voluntarily seek the personal quest for professional excellence through an evaluation and critique of their abilities by their colleagues. Pediatric dentists are eligible to be examined by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, a board of five peers elected by the membership of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists. This rigorous examination is voluntary and is for the purpose of validation and improvement of the pediatric dentist’s clinical and diagnostic abilities. Successful completion of the examination permits one to be designated a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and to become a member of The College of Diplomates. WHAT IS A BOARD CERTIFIED PEDIATRIC DENTIST? When a Pediatric Dentist is Board Certified it means that the American Board of Pediatric Dentist’s or ABPD certifies that the dental care being provided is based on standards of excellence that lead to high quality oral health care for infants, children, adolescence and patients with Special health care needs. Certification by the ABPD provides assurance to the public that a Pediatric Dentist has successfully completed accredited training and a voluntary examination process designed to continually validate the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to the delivery of quality patient care.

After graduating with her BS in Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and prior to starting dental school, she worked with Dr. Elliott for 14 months as an intern. Dr. Elliott has been mentoring Dr. Molina since 2001, as we all knew she would be the right fit for our office TEAM!

Dr. Julie Molina

Thank you for allowing us to provide the highest level of care for your child/children.

It is rare to find two doctors who have the same treatment philosophy, clinical skills and management styles. We are fortunate that both Dr. Elliott and Dr. Molina received the exact same training at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. They also graduated at the top of their class and are both Board Certified Pediatric Dentists. They have been long time family friends who have trusted one other for over 13 years.

Dr. Molina and Dr. Elliott have developed Cary Pediatric Dentistry TOGETHER. Our entire TEAM wants to get to know each and every parent and child in our entire patient family. In addition, it is important for each child to develop a relationship with both doctors. If either of the doctors is out of the office or an emergency arises that requires us to see your child after-hours, knowing both Dr. Elliott AND Dr. Molina will encourage trust and successful appointments due to familiarity.

We appreciate your understanding that our office policy is not to schedule by doctor, but by appointment time that is unique for each procedure. When patients come in for their 6 month cleaning appointments, the first available doctor will be the one who sees your child. We often try to each see siblings in a family together utilizing both doctors.

It’s our sincere hope that you will support this philosophy as we continue to grow our family of patients. Having both doctors in our office allows us to offer more appointment availability, an immediate second opinion when needed and a more time efficient appointment! Thank you and Welcome to our Family!
