Mission At Pediatric Dental Solutions (PDS) our mission is to empower pediatric dental providers by delivering comprehensive management and administrative support that allows them to focus entirely on what they do best: delivering exceptional oral health care to children across the Northeast. We are committed to serving not only the dental professionals we partner with but also the diverse communities they serve — including underserved and historically overlooked populations. Our goal is to create lasting, positive impact through accessible, high-quality pediatric dental care, ensuring that every child receives the attention, comfort, and excellence they deserve in their dental experience. Provider-Centered at Our Core: Founded by dentists and orthodontists, PDS is built on a deep understanding of the unique challenges and needs of dental practitioners. Every decision we make stems from a simple but powerful principle: to keep the provider at the forefront. We are more than a management service organization — we are a partner, an advocate, and a catalyst for the continued success of our affiliated dental practices. Our leadership model blends clinical insight with business expertise, allowing us to deliver high-impact administrative solutions that free our providers from the burdens of non-clinical responsibilities. From staffing and training to compliance, billing, IT infrastructure, and office optimization, we handle the business so our providers can focus on their patients. Commitment to Clinical Excellence and Innovation: By removing the day-to-day administrative burdens from our affiliated practices, we give providers the bandwidth and resources to pursue clinical excellence. We are deeply committed to supporting ongoing investment in cutting-edge dental technologies, evidence-based methodologies, and rigorous compliance protocols. We support practices in adopting the latest advancements — from digital imaging and paperless records to minimally invasive procedures — ensuring that the care children receive is not only safe and compliant but also modern, effective, and efficient. In doing so, we elevate the standard of pediatric dental care across our network and in the broader community. Creating Positive, Child-Centered Dental Experiences: We recognize that a child’s early experience with dental care can shape their perception of oral health for life. That’s why our affiliated practices prioritize creating safe, warm, and welcoming environments that reduce anxiety, foster trust, and build positive habits. Through ongoing training, design enhancements, and a family-friendly approach, our practices aim to turn each dental visit into a positive and empowering experience — one that supports the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of every child. Expanding Access and Addressing Disparities: Access to quality pediatric dental care should not be a privilege — it should be a right. We proudly support practices in communities with limited access to care, bringing professional dental services to families who might otherwise face barriers due to geography, income, or systemic inequality. By leveraging our infrastructure, experience, and partnerships, we help affiliated practices operate efficiently in underserved areas — from urban neighborhoods to rural communities. Together, we’re working to close the care gap and ensure that every child has a healthy smile, regardless of their zip code. We envision a future in which every pediatric dental provider has the tools, time, and support to practice at the highest level — and where every child receives compassionate, high-quality oral healthcare.
Description Founded in 2015 by Dr. Barry Jacobson, a highly respected pediatric dentist with nearly 30 years of clinical experience, Pediatric Dental Solutions—also known as PDS Management Services—has grown into a leading provider of pediatric dental care across the New York and New Jersey region. What began as a single practice in Queens, New York, has evolved into a thriving network of specialized dental offices committed to making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve.
Dr. Jacobson’s vision for PDS was born out of a desire to improve access to high-quality dental care for children in underserved areas. His original practice in Queens, which remains an integral part of the organization, laid the foundation for a model of care that prioritizes clinical excellence, compassionate service, and community outreach. Under his leadership, PDS has expanded significantly, now operating twelve state-of-the-art pediatric dental offices throughout New York, along with two additional offices in New Jersey. The company’s corporate headquarters are based in Suffern, NY, where a dedicated administrative and support team works to ensure consistency, compliance, and operational efficiency across all locations.
All PDS-affiliated offices specialize in pediatric dentistry, delivering comprehensive oral healthcare to infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special healthcare needs. In addition to pediatric dental care, the majority of our locations also offer integrated orthodontic services, allowing families to receive continuity of care in a single, child-friendly environment. Our clinical teams are composed of board-certified pediatric dentists and orthodontists, hygienists, and dental assistants who are not only skilled professionals but also passionate advocates for children’s health and well-being.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to closing the gap in access to care. Many of the communities we serve face significant barriers to dental services due to economic, geographic, or social challenges. We work tirelessly to break down those barriers by offering multilingual staff, accepting a broad range of insurance plans—including Medicaid and CHIP—and designing our practices to be welcoming, inclusive, and culturally sensitive.
Pediatric Dental Solutions is more than a dental network—we are a movement toward equitable healthcare for every child. We believe that all children deserve a healthy smile and that early, preventive dental care can transform a child’s future. Through our growing network of locations, strong leadership, and unwavering commitment to community-centered care, we continue to fulfill our mission one smile at a time.
