Dr. Hans Petersen is a pediatric dentist with 20 years of experience making dental visits comfortable and fun for children in West Valley City. He specializes in sedation dentistry, which means he can help even nervous kids feel calm and relaxed during their appointments using safe techniques like nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation. Dr. Petersen earned his dental degree from the University of Kentucky and completed specialized training in pediatric dentistry at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. When he's not caring for young patients, you'll find him coaching at gymnastics and little league soccer games, and he even enjoys reading bedtime stories—skills that help him connect with kids of all ages. He's also a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and teaches other pediatric dentists about sedation at Primary Children's Hospital.
