Gentle & Caring Kids Dentist | Portland, OR

A note from Dr. Young: 

Friends,
It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing my retirement from dentistry. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve this community as your child’s dentist for the last 21 years. I thank you for putting your trust in me in caring for your child’s dental healthcare needs. I am excited to start a new chapter in my life with pursuing new interests and projects, traveling, and spending time with family and friends abroad.
My goal has always been to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun dental experience for children. As a pediatric dentist, I have had the unique opportunity to watch my patients grow, sometimes from infancy to adulthood. I hope I have instilled positive dental experiences and education that will last their lifetime.
A priority before retirement was to find the right dentist who would continue the quality patient care my practice required. I am confident you will agree with my choice of Dr. Kasey.
Since Dr. Kasey has become familiar with my office, staff, and patients over the months, I know this will be a smooth transition. Please contact our office with any questions or concerns about continued patient care.
Again, thank you for your continued trust and understanding during this transition stage. I will greatly miss being a dental provider to your family and this community.
All the best,
Todd Young, DDS

Young Kidz Dental was established in 2004 by Dr Todd Young. YKD has been a staple in the community for many years with Dr Kasey purchasing the practice in 2025. 

It’s that time of year again: your child’s dental appointment is approaching, and you’re in search of the best kids dentist for your son or daughter. Visiting the dentist often is an event that many children (and adults) dread; thoughts of the cold and clinical atmosphere, intimidating dentist and staff, and scary procedures can all make a child afraid of a dentist appointment. However, a trip to the dentist doesn’t have to be a frightening and daunting experience! Young Kidz Dental is a pediatric dental office designed specifically to make visiting the dentist a positive experience for its pediatric patients. Dr. Kasey and YKD’s kind and attentive staff make sure that every visit for our patients is safe, comfortable, and, (most importantly), fun! So, what makes Young Kidz Dental the best?
