- https://www.childrensdentalutah.com/our-doctors - https://www.childrensdentalutah.com/saint-george - Verification notes: Lead dentist Dr. Jeremy Scholzen, DMD (Hurricane native), with partner Dr. Brandon Spencer, DMD (joined 2013). Founded 2007. Site explicitly self-identifies as "family and locally owned." Two locations across the 435 area.
Children's Dental is a pediatric-focused dental practice with two Southern Utah locations, in St. George and Cedar City. The practice was founded in 2007 by Dr. Jeremy Scholzen, a Hurricane native who returned to Southern Utah after dental school, and was joined in 2013 by partner Dr. Brandon Spencer.
Pediatric dentistry has a different rhythm and clinic design than general dentistry — open-bay treatment areas, behavior-management training, sedation when needed, parent communication built into every visit. Children's Dental serves the bulk of pediatric patient volume across both cities, with the two-location model letting the practice see Cedar City and Iron County families without requiring a drive to St. George.
Both owners are publicly named, both founding and partnership dates are published, and the practice site explicitly states "family and locally owned." That kind of explicit positioning is itself a verification signal — pediatric practices acquired by dental services organizations rarely keep the language. Web presence is strong across the practice site and external listings.
For 435 Alliance, this is one of the cleanest pediatric-dental candidates in the region: named owners, published founding year, two-city Southern Utah footprint, and clear independent positioning.
