At Bee Happy Children's Dentistry, Dr. Heidi provides dental care to kids in a warm and anxiety-free environment. We believe that happy smiles come from healthy teeth, and we love sharing our philosophy in a fun and engaging manner with your child!
 Dr. Heidi PahlsDr. Heidi is currently the only Board-certified Pediatric Dentist on the Southern Oregon Coast. After graduating from Loma Linda School of Dentistry near the top of her class in 2005, Dr. Heidi married her dental school sweetheart, Dr. Brent Pahls, during her 1st year of her Pediatric Dentistry residency at Loma Linda University. In 2007, Dr. Heidi completed her 2-year residency in Pediatric dentistry, along with a Master of Sciences degree as well. Dr. Heidi has also completed her Certification examinations and is a current Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
She is the very proud mother of two children, Madeleine (born 4 days after her residency completion!) and Beckett. She feels that her ability to love and her capacity for patience and understanding have grown exponentially since becoming a mother. She also knows that these qualities help her to be even more kind and compassionate with her patients. While she is quick to admit that she had never lived in a small town area before, she is equally quick to share how much she loves Coquille. From the dunes, to the beaches, to the coastal towns, to the farms — there is no comparison to the surpassing beauty of the Oregon coast.
