Dr. Kim Kierszenson, DDS, MSD
Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Kim Kierszenson is a board-certified pediatric dentist and brings warmth, expertise, and international experience to her role as a pediatric dentist at Echeverri Dental Center. Her journey in dentistry began in 2019 in San Jose, Costa Rica, where she practiced after completing her dental degree from Universidad Latina de Costa Rica in 2018. Driven by her passion for healthcare and belief that dentistry uniquely combines art, science, and patient care, Dr. Kierszenson pursued advanced training in the United States at UTHealth Houston, where she completed a preceptorship program and her pediatric dentistry residency.
Being a board-certified pediatric dentist sets Dr. Kim apart from many general dentists and even from pediatric specialists who have not pursued certification. This credential reflects a deeper expertise in growth and development, behavior guidance, and infant oral health. It also means she stays current with advances in pediatric dental science, ensuring your child receives safe, effective, and tailored care to their unique developmental needs. When you choose Echeverri Dental Center for "pediatric dentistry near me," you’re choosing a practice led by a clinician whose training and certification provide peace of mind for families and exceptional outcomes for children of all ages.
Dr. Kierszenson dedicates herself to treating children's dental issues with comprehensive preventive care. She takes special pride in educating patients and their parents about dental health, working collaboratively with the dental team to ensure every young patient has a positive experience. She also offers Invisalign for kids!
What truly sets Dr. Kierszenson apart is her genuine enthusiasm for working with children. She views each day as a new adventure, finding fulfillment in her patients' unique personalities and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on their dental health. The happy atmosphere at Echeverri Dental Center and the joy patients experience during their visits perfectly align with her approach to pediatric dentistry.
Outside the office, Dr. Kierszenson enjoys spending time with her husband, Gal. Together they enjoy cooking and baking for friends and family, and they particularly enjoy exploring Houston's diverse restaurant scene. Her love of travel and trying new cuisines enhances her ability to connect with patients from diverse backgrounds.
