Dr. Christina R. Carter is a pediatric dentist and orthodontist as well as a certified health coach. She and her team focus on children’s overall health in addition to building beautiful healthy smiles.

Dr. Carter is uniquely qualified and enjoys treating special needs patients—especially autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and those with craniofacial differences—and lectures nationally and internationally on the subject. She frequently appears on Sirius Doctor Radio and in magazines.

“I love teaching my patients how easy it is to visit the pediatric dentist, and seeing their confidence grow,” she says.

Past president of the Northeastern Society of Orthodontists, Dr. Carter received her DMD from UMDNJ and completed residencies in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics at NYU. She completed a fellowship in cleft, craniofacial and surgical orthodontics at NYU Langone Medical Center’s Institute for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. She’s one of fewer than 150 dentists across the country that has this unique, comprehensive education.
