About Us

At Kind Kids Pediatric Dentistry, we believe in more than just healthy smiles—we believe in creating a space where children feel safe, heard, and excited about visiting the dentist. Leading our practice is Dr. Paula Lobo, a dedicated pediatric dentist whose compassionate care and extensive training have made her a trusted provider for families in our community.

Board Certified Pediatric Dentist | Founder of Kind Kids Pediatric Dentistry

Dr. Paula Lobo, owner and dentist at Kind Kids Pediatric Dentistry, has extensive credentials that include being Board Certified and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Paula is well-equipped to provide the best care for young patients.

Her journey in the field began in 2009, following her General Practice Residency at Loyola University Medical Center and her education at Tufts University in Boston for both college and dental school. Dr. Paula further honed her expertise through a two-year Pediatric Dental Residency at the University of Southern California.

Outside of her professional life, Dr. Paula is an advocate for a healthy lifestyle, enjoying activities like Pilates and yoga. Her love for rescuing animals has brought two wonderful dogs, Izzy and Wrigley, into her life.

As a dedicated mother of two sons, she actively participates in their lives, coaching her son’s soccer team and engaging in various activities, including sports and cub scouts.
