Take a tour of our office before your first visit.
We are proud to offer dental services for special needs patients. It is important to us that each and every patient feels comfortable coming to the dentist.
The most common anesthetic we use is a local anesthetic. This blocks pain in a specific area of the mouth. We often apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area before we give the injection.
Testimonials
My daughter was seen today for her first dental visit. She is typically anxious for medical visits and everyone at Star Pediatric made her feel safe and comfortable, starting with the office staff. My daughter was then checked by Josephine who so greatly explained all of the tools she would use prior to looking inside her mouth. Next, Dr. Donohue came in and was extremely friendly and gentle. We ended the visit with stickers and a prize and to our surprise, no tears and lots of smiles! Would definitely recommend Star Pediatric Dentistry to anyone looking for a great dentist for their little ones!

My daughter had a flawless experience at Star Pediatric Dentistry! The reception staff is very warm and welcoming and so are the dental hygienist and the dentist! Making appointment for follow up or check ups are always a breeze and the staff tries their very best to accommodate both parents with not so flexible schedules as well as fit in kids that need a procedure done during school days without missing school!
Drs always answer any questions or address concern both on their end as well as parents!

Highly Recommend Star Pediatric Dentistry! It was everything I could have wanted for my son’s first dental appointment. The office was super kid friendly, the staff was patient and Dr. Donahue was the best!

Dr. Verma is amazing. He is so kind and patient. Amazing bedside manner and very comforting to both children and parents in a dental emergency. The staff overall is warm and friendly. The waiting room has a Pac-Man and Space Invaders! Which my daughter that was awesome. Best pediatric dentist around.

My almost 2 year old just had her first ever dentist appointment at Star Pediatric Dentistry of Manalapan. I was nervous because I expected her to freak out with a stranger so close to her but she did great! The hygienist, whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch, was amazing. She was so nice and made my daughter so comfortable. She showed her every tool and let her touch them before they were used. The dentist, Dr. Donahue, was also so nice and great with my daughter. Overall, an unexpectedly awesome first dental experience!!!
