About This Provider
Dr. David Rutcosky earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois, his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Northwestern University, and completed a pediatric dental residency at the University of Illinois. As an associate pediatric dentist at Kids Dentist in Grayslake, he focuses exclusively on children's oral health, from first dental visits through orthodontic treatment. Dr. Rutcosky explains procedures in language children can actually understand, converting natural curiosity into lessons about lifelong oral health. As a father of two, he draws on personal experience to connect with young patients in a genuine way that lowers anxiety and builds trust. He actively pursues continuing education in behavior management techniques, with a focused interest in caring for children with special needs, including those who benefit from modified communication strategies or sedation options. When a procedure is complex or a child needs extra reassurance, Dr. Rutcosky takes the extra time to address questions from both children and their parents before treatment begins.
