Hi, parents!
My name is Dr. Kimberly.
I’ve treated many dental patients over the years—students, special needs adults, even soldiers. In my years of practicing general dentistry, I was always drawn to children and teenagers. That’s why I decided to open a Summerville practice especially for them. Palmetto Kids Dentistry is designed to be a fun, pleasant experience for both you and your children.
As a mom, I know first-hand how challenging it can be to get toddlers comfortable with toothbrushes and kids ok with dental exams. I’m here to help so that together we can ensure your child will enjoy a lifetime of healthy teeth and beautiful smiles.
I’m looking forward to meeting your family!
Dr. Kimberly Duffey
