Dr. Caroline Scholtz, DDS, MS, is a pediatric dental specialist at Pediatric Dentistry of the North Shore, a multi-location group practice serving children across Northbrook, Highland Park, and Lincolnshire on Chicago's North Shore. The practice has cared for North Shore families for over 40 years, building multigenerational trust in the community. Dr. Scholtz holds a Master of Science alongside her DDS, reflecting graduate-level clinical training in addition to the two to three years of specialized post-dental-school preparation required of all board-eligible pediatric dentists. That additional training focuses on child development, behavioral guidance, and the distinct oral health needs of patients from infancy through adolescence. At Pediatric Dentistry of the North Shore, Dr. Scholtz works within a team equipped with the LightScalpel CO2 laser for frenectomy procedures requiring no anesthesia and no stitches, and the Soan Painless Anesthesia system for near-painless injections during restorative treatment. The practice carries particular depth in caring for children with complex medical and developmental needs, including autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing differences, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy, with individualized accommodations structured to meet each child where they are.
