About This Provider

Dr. Leslee Rutherford is a board-certified pediatric dentist at The Children's Dental Center in Merrillville, Indiana. She earned both her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and her pediatric dental specialty certificate from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry, one of the Midwest's most respected dental institutions. Her board certification from the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry requires passing comprehensive written and clinical examinations that go well beyond what residency completion alone demands, placing her among the most credentialed pediatric specialists in the region. Dr. Rutherford treats children from infancy through the teenage years, providing preventive care, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, nitrous oxide sedation for anxious young patients, athletic mouth guards, emergency dental care, and pediatric orthodontics including teen Invisalign. She holds active membership in the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, ensuring her clinical practice stays aligned with the latest evidence-based standards for children's oral health. Her specialty training equips her to address the behavioral and developmental factors that make treating children fundamentally different from treating adults.
