Dr. Luis Cruz is a pediatric dentist in Palm Coast, FL, with 19 years of experience helping children feel comfortable at the dentist. He earned his dental degree from the University of Puerto Rico and completed advanced training in pediatric dentistry at New York University, where he also participated in important research studies. Dr. Cruz speaks both English and Spanish and is a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association. He uses modern techniques like nitrous oxide sedation and laser technology to make dental visits easier for kids, and he designed his office to feel like a welcoming "Dental Home" rather than a clinical clinic.
