About This Provider

Dr. Mary Tierney is a pediatric dentist and founder of City Kids Dental, located at 4700 N Western Ave in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood. She holds a DDS and a Master of Science in pediatric dentistry, specialty credentials that go well beyond what a general dentist earns. Dr. Tierney is recognized across Chicago for converting fearful, resistant children into cooperative patients, a quality families cite after 15 or more years of continuous care with her practice. She has particular expertise with children who have learning differences, sensory sensitivities, and prior dental trauma, adjusting her technique to meet each child where they are rather than applying a one-size approach. Her ability to connect with children through genuine conversation and careful attention is a consistent theme across long-term patient accounts. Dr. Tierney uses ceiling-mounted video screens to keep children calm during procedures and offers nitrous oxide sedation for anxious patients. City Kids Dental also holds Saturday morning appointments and same-day emergency slots, giving working families the flexibility to get care without pulling children from school.
