is not exactly in Southeast. In fact, it is in Vancouver (about 20 minutes from the Swap Shop without traffic). So, why would Southeast families need a Vancouver dentist?
Well, as a Swap Shop member and Board member- I would like to sing the praises of Dr. Shebani and her team and let you know why it is more than worth the drive. Dr. Amna Shebani is a pediatric dentist or a pedodontist. She specializes in dentistry for children and the minute you meet her you can feel her love for children.
I think the best way to explain why Dr. Shebani is such a spectacular pediatric dentist is to tell you a story about my oldest son, Charlie. Charlie is not a big fan of going to the dentist. He isn’t scared of the work they might need to perform, but he has a mighty gag reflex and just hates anyone sticking anything in his mouth. When Charlie was 5 or 6, a dentist was able to get x-rays and told me he had 2 cavities. 2 years later – no dentist had been able to fill and treat those cavities, due to Charlie’s gag reflex. I had taken him to every local pediatric dentist, and had not met one who could sympathize with, understand, and treat his problem.
Then, I heard about Dr. Shebani from a Sunnyside Environmental School family. I drove to Vancouver to the most spectacular kid friendly dental office I had ever been to. And, Dr. Shebani was able to get Charlie to relax, and she got his cavities filled. Both my children BEG to go to Dr. Shebani office and look forward to the dentist.
I can’t say enough about Dr. Shebani. I am secretly terrified of dental work- and I wish I could go to her! Her office is filled with great toys, trains that go through the lobby and patient rooms, a toy/prize closest that inspires awe, and a warm, friendly, helpful staff. I could go on and on, about the professionalism and caring at her office! Please ask me and I will!
Every time I’ve been to Dentistry for Children, I’ve seen a fellow Swap Shopper or a Southeast family. And, we always sing the praises of Dr. Shebani and team, and talk about why the drive to her office is so worth it!

It’s great to stay local. If you have a child without Charlie’s special needs or are an adult looking for a caring and friendly environment, we are, of course, delighted to have the services of Dr. Aaron Tinkle at Belmont Family Dentistry and Dr. Rebecca Kuperstein at Parkside Orthodontics just a hop, skip and a jump from the Swap Shop. Dr. Aaron Tinkle has already added several Swap Shop families to his practice since first becoming a Roost sponsor and Dr. Rebecca Kuperstein looks forward to meeting you when your kids are ready for that first orthodontist check around 7 or 8 years old.
