Dr. Amy Planz
Known as “Dr. Amy” to her
patients, Dr. Amy Planz of
Hills-
borough Pediatric Dentistry
strives to make dental visits pleas-
ant and fun for her patients. Her
primary focus is to create a posi-
tive experience for each and every
child, and to make them feel spe-
cial. “I wanted to start the type of
practice that I would bring my
own children to,” said Dr. Planz, a
mom to a six year old daughter
and newborn son.
Dr. Planz has gone to great
lengths to create an atmosphere
appealing to children. Her waiting
room is stocked with games,
books and a Wii System. Her
friendly staff relates to children by
using child-appropriate lingo and
engaging them by teaching tech-
niques to keep their teeth and
gums healthy. Patients are reward-
ed with stickers and prizes and
multiple tasty flavors are offered
for cleanings. Her modern office is
equipped with televisions posi-
tioned above the treatment chairs
and state of the art digital radi-
ographs and equipment.
Aside from making dental visits
fun and appealing, Dr. Planz said
that her other primary focus is on
prevention. The earlier a patient is
seen, the less of a challenge it is to
address poor habits or problems
that may have already developed.
Dr. Planz said that the American
Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
recommends establishing a “den-
tal home” by age one, or within
six months of the first tooth. Dr.
Planz said that perfect coopera-
tion isn’t expected at the first visit
and concern about behavior
shouldn’t be a deterrent for par-
ents to bring their child in at an
early age.
Recalling some of her own
unpleasant dental experiences as a
child, Dr. Planz said that she has a
unique empathy for children that
parents seem to appreciate. Her
practice, which opened just a year
ago, continues to grow.
Dr. Planz is board certified and
is a Diplomat of the American
Board of Pediatric Dentistry. She is
a member of the American Dental
Association and the American
Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
and other professional organiza-
tions. She is a graduate of Boston
College with a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Biopsychology and a
graduate of The University of
Maryland School of Dentistry with
a Doctor of Dental Surgery
Degree. After completing a Gener-
al Practice Residency at the Mal-
com Randall VA Medical Center in
Florida, she practiced General
Dentistry in New York. Dr. Planz’s
love for children and interest in
helping to shape and mold their
dental experience is what beck-
oned her to further her education
and fulfill those goals. She com-
pleted a Pediatric Dental Residen-
cy Program at Maimonides Med-
ical Center in New York, where
she served as Chief Resident.
The office is located at 390
Amwell Road, Hillsborough, Build-
ing #2, Suite 201. Look for the fish
decals in the window. The office is
open on Monday, Wednesday,
