After earning a master’s degree in chemistry from the University of Oregon, he completed his dental education at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. He then pursued specialized pediatric dentistry training at UCLA and received his board certification in pediatric dentistry.

Today, Dr. Price finds the greatest reward in building relationships with children and their families, helping them reach meaningful dental health goals, and celebrating the milestones they achieve along the way.

Dr. Price wants families to feel informed, comfortable, and never judged. Your questions are always welcome, because he believes education is a big part of creating healthy habits. He also believes dental visits should include some fun, whether that means dress-up days or hearing about a child’s birthday party, vacation, school, sports, or latest accomplishment. When advanced treatment is recommended, Dr. Price takes the time to explain why it’s necessary, answers all of your questions, and eases anxieties so parents and kids can feel confident about their care plan.

Born and raised in Mukilteo, he values his strong community connections and enjoys seeing patients and their families at schools, sporting events, and around town. He hopes to remain a trusted local resource who supports childhood wellness and healthy habits beyond the dental chair.

Dr. Price is also a parent of two, which allows him to understand and empathize with what parents are thinking during appointments. Outside the office, he enjoys spending time with his family, camping, hiking, playing sports, and taking advantage of sunny days outdoors whenever he can.
