Daniel Ford, DDS
Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Daniel Ford has cultivated a profound foundation in the field of dentistry, beginning with his undergraduate studies in physiology and developmental biology at Brigham Young University. He continued his education at the University of Utah School of Dentistry, graduating in 2022. Currently, he is completing a rigorous two-year pediatric dental specialty training program at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania, set to conclude in June 2024.

Certified in both pediatric advanced life support and basic life support, Dr. Ford is deeply committed to pediatric dental care. His memberships with the American Dental Association® (ADA) and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) underscore his dedication to his field.

His professional goal is to offer honest, individualized care ensuring that each family and child receives the best experience possible.
