Dr. Deric Truskoski, DMD, MS is a board certified pediatric dentist and co-founder of Floss Academy Pediatric Dentistry and Tongue-Tie Center in Chicago's West Loop. He earned his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences at Marquette University, his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Midwestern University in Illinois, and completed specialty training in pediatric dentistry plus a Master's in Oral Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Dr. Truskoski's clinical work spans the full scope of children's dentistry, with a particular focus on frenectomies for tongue-tied and lip-tied patients, including newborns whose nursing is affected from the earliest days of life. He performs same-day frenectomies using the Light Scalpel CO2 laser, the current gold standard for soft tissue release procedures. Parents routinely note his ability to explain what he is doing, build their confidence throughout the process, and help even deeply anxious children finish an appointment without distress. His care philosophy centers on education, open communication, and trust, with the goal of giving every child a healthy and confident smile for life. He holds membership in the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the Illinois State Dental Society, and the Chicago Dental Society.
