Common Questions

How do I check a license myself?

The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs publishes a licensee search under Dentistry. Search by the dentist’s last name. The record shows the license number, the status and the town on file.

Every detail on this page was checked between October 28 and October 31, 2026 against each practice’s own website and the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs licensee register.

About This Guide

This guide is produced by Garden State Circle. Practices appear here because they meet the criteria described above — a pediatric dentistry office within 15 miles of Long Branch and at least one named dentist with an Active New Jersey dental license and a pediatric specialty permit. That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page. No practice can pay to be included in this guide, to be listed higher, or to change what the comparison table says about it. Practices are listed nearest first, and every detail in the table was verified against each practice’s own website and the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs licensee register in October 2026.

Everything under the heading that begins this guide is governed by the rules above, on every guide we publish. Where a sponsor’s message appears above that heading, it is paid for and labelled, and it buys nothing in the guide. Garden State Circle is supported by the businesses that participate in it. Participation pays for our ongoing work: keeping a business’s entry accurate, re-checking its record, and publishing a page of its own details that the business maintains. There is no paid placement in this guide. Participation does not buy a place here, a position here, or anything the comparison table says. Where a row carries a verification date, that is when we last checked that business’s record ourselves. Nothing on this page is medical advice. Every treatment described here carries risks that depend on your own health and history, and the person to discuss them with is a licensed provider who has examined you.

Garden State Circle is published in New Jersey by Tiffany and Jake Slowinski and covers Long Branch, Interlaken, Oceanport, Deal, Allenhurst and Loch Arbour. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com. How every guide is made, in one place: how every guide is made.

How We Selected These Pediatric Dentists

This guide covers Long Branch, Interlaken, Oceanport, Deal, Allenhurst and Loch Arbour.

A practice is on this page when it has a pediatric dentistry office within 15 miles of Long Branch and at least one named dentist whose New Jersey dental license the state register showed as Active in October 2026, and who holds a pediatric specialty permit on that register at that office’s town, primary or branch, or a legacy specialty permit that the practice’s own words tie to pediatric dentistry. That is a test, not a judgment. Practices are listed nearest first.

No pediatric dentistry practice with an office in Long Branch, Interlaken, Oceanport, Deal, Allenhurst or Loch Arbour meets these tests. The practices above are the nearest that do, within 15 miles of Long Branch.

Something out of date?

If anything here is wrong or has changed — a credential, who is at the practice, insurance participation, or whether they are taking new patients — tell us and we will check it. Corrections are free, for every practice on this page. A practice that is not listed here and meets the criteria described at the top of this guide can write to the same address.
