Crafting Smiles and Comforting Moms: Dr. Becca Ferns’ Unique Approach to Pediatric Dentistry

Crafting Smiles and Comforting Moms: Dr. Becca Ferns’ Unique Approach to Pediatric Dentistry

At TiScrubs, we love highlighting the inspiring professionals who trust our scrubs in their everyday work. This time, we’re excited to introduce Dr. Becca Ferns, a dedicated pediatric dentist and the co-owner of Honeybee Dental. With a passion for helping kids and providing comfort to their families, Dr. Ferns shares her journey, experiences, and why she chooses TiScrubs.

 
What inspired you to become a dentist?

Dr. Ferns: “I was always good at science and had a creative side, so when I was in high school and thinking about my future, I thought it would be fun to create beautiful smiles. In my fourth year of dental school, I spent time in the pediatric clinic and loved it. Before that, I would’ve told you pediatric dentistry was the last thing I wanted to do, but it quickly became my favorite specialty and my true passion.”

 
What do you enjoy doing in your free time outside of dentistry?

Dr. Ferns: “Between running a dental practice and being a wife and mom to two young kids, free time is hard to come by. But when I’m not working or with my family, I enjoy doing interior design—just for my home—and tackling projects around the house. I’m pretty handy!”

Dr. Ferns: “What drives me is helping kids get out of pain. Even after years in practice, I'm still amazed by how many children struggle with cavities. One of my favorite parts of my job is treating tongue-tie in babies, as it significantly improves their nursing experience. I also love creating a supportive environment for moms, where they can feel at ease and learn how to nurse their babies comfortably after the procedure.”

 
If you weren’t a dentist, what other career would you have pursued?

Dr. Ferns: “If I weren’t in dentistry, I’d probably own my own bakery. I love baking bread and cookies, and I think it would be a lot of fun!”

 
Do you have any dental myths you love to debunk?

Dr. Ferns: “Moms often say, ‘But he doesn’t eat much candy,’ when I point out their child has cavities. But cavities aren’t just caused by candy and sugar. Many factors are involved, including the makeup of a child’s saliva. And here’s something a lot of people don’t know: one of the worst things for kids’ teeth is Goldfish crackers!”

 
What’s your go-to joke or pun when talking to patients about dental health?

Dr. Ferns: “I’m not usually one for straight-up jokes, but I love telling patients—especially those around two to four years old—that I’m looking for funny things in their mouths, like dinosaurs or blueberries. They get such a kick out of it every time.”

 
What do you look for in your medical scrubs?

Dr. Ferns: “The number one thing I look for in my scrubs is comfort. After that, the cut and style are what matter most to me.”

 
How do your scrubs make a difference in your daily work?

Dr. Ferns: “TiScrubs’ lightweight fabric makes me feel ‘light!’ I love the athletic feel because a pediatric office is always active. We’re constantly on the move, not just running between rooms but also keeping up with energetic, wiggly kids!"
