About This Provider
Dr. Andy Malcolm is a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist and founder of Malcolm Pediatric Dentistry in Belvidere, Illinois. A Moline native, he completed his Bachelor of Science, Dental Surgery degree, and pediatric dental residency all at the University of Iowa, earning his DDS in 2005 and board certification in 2007. He has spent 17 years building a practice on one core idea: help children become fearless dental patients for life, not just cooperative patients in the short term. Dr. Malcolm relies on behavioral guidance techniques over sedation, treating approximately 95% of his patients without sedatives. His tell-show-do method and one-to-one approach with each child creates lasting trust rather than medication-dependent compliance. Beyond routine pediatric care, Dr. Malcolm brings specialized training in children with complex medical and developmental needs, including Down Syndrome, Autism, Cleft Lip and Palate, and Fragile-X Syndrome, among many others. He holds active memberships in the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists, American Board of Pediatric Dentists, American Dental Association, Illinois Dental Society, and Winnebago County Dental Society.
