PRESS RELEASE | Schenectady, NY | 1.6.26
The Schenectady Pediatric Dentistry and Where Smiles Grow Pediatric Dentistry teams are excited to announce that Dr. Katherine Dority has joined our team and is serving patients in the greater Albany metro area.
Dr. Kat completed her undergraduate studies at Boston University before earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University at Buffalo, where she also completed her Residency Program/Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Kat’s interest in dentistry began in childhood, when she would “play dentist” with her neighborhood friends. This early passion stayed with her through college and came into clear focus during a college internship at a pediatric dental office. Her major in Health Sciences, with its foundation in public health, aligned naturally with the fun, preventive focus of pediatric dentistry, making her career path feel clear and purposeful.
“I love witnessing the visible transformation that happens when a child's oral health improves. Helping restore a mouth from active disease to health—alongside positive habit changes—is incredibly fulfilling.”
Pediatric dentistry feels like a team sport to Dr. Kat, and she values being an active part of that collaboration. She enjoys working with children and families to improve their health while creating a friendly, relaxed environment that helps kids feel at ease. Seeing families leave feeling happy and comfortable is the perfect finishing touch.
Both Schenectady Pediatric Dentistry and Where Smiles Grow Pediatric Dentistry are dedicated to delivering outstanding dental care designed exclusively for children. Come meet Dr. Kat and partner with us to help your child build a strong foundation for lifelong oral health and a confident smile.
