About This Provider

Dr. Cissy K. Furusho is a pediatric dentist at Dentistry for Kids, Ltd in Lincolnwood, IL, treating children from infancy through adolescence. She earned her Bachelor's in Biology from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, then completed her DDS, Pediatric Certificate, and a Master's in Oral Biology at UIC College of Dentistry. That graduate research degree is uncommon among pediatric practitioners and reflects a deeper investment in understanding how oral structures develop. She also holds a certificate in orofacial myofunctional therapy, giving her specialized training to assess tongue-tie and lip-tie restrictions that affect feeding, speech, and long-term oral development. Parents consistently describe Dr. Furusho as calm, thorough, and genuinely personable. She has built a strong clinical reputation treating children with special needs, sensory sensitivities, and severe dental anxiety, including children who experienced trauma or failed treatment at other practices. She takes time to explain every step of a procedure and follows up with parents after care is complete. Her documented ability to preserve teeth that other dentists recommended extracting reflects a conservative, clinically careful approach that parents notice and trust.
