Duke Street Pediatric Dentistry

Duke Street Pediatric Dentistry Our mission is to provide the best comprehensive dental care for your infant, child and adolescent in a friendly, safe and state-of-the-art environment.

We want your child to develop a positive attitude toward dental health and learn the necessary skills to maintain a cavity-free smile for a lifetime. As parents, we welcome you to stay with your child for all dental appointments. We encourage your involvement in your child’s dental care. We strive to educate you and your child about achieving and maintaining good oral health. If a problem does develop, we will offer you all treatment options and work with you to determine the best treatment plan and most compassionate approach for your child. Dr. Martha Ann Keels grew up in the foothills of North Carolina in Morganton. Every time she goes home to visit family, she gets sentimental about the view of Grandfather Mountain and Blowing Rock. She graduated from Duke University with a B.A. in Chemistry. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry with a DDS, she continued on to complete specialty training at UNC with a certificate in Pediatric Dentistry. During her residency, Dr. Keels received the prestigious Dentist-Scientist Award from the NIH, which allowed her to complete a PhD in epidemiology – with a focus on the causes of craniofacial birth defects. One of her professional dreams in dental school was to start a pediatric dental program at Duke Children’s Hospital. After volunteering in hospital for 4 years, she was the first pediatric dentist to get privileges at Duke in 1986. Over the past 30 years, her clinical practice has been affiliated with Duke Children’s Hospital through a variety of different business models. As of 2016, Duke Street Pediatric Dentistry is affiliated with Duke Health System via a new entity Duke Oral Health, bringing together Duke Affiliated Specialists in Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, Prosthodontics and Endodontics to provide comprehensive dental care for our patients.
