Dr. Kevin Black is a general dentist serving children in Galveston, TX. Dr. Black earned his dental degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, after earning his bachelor’s degree from the Ohio State University. Being born in South Korea and raised in Katy, Texas, he understands that each family comes from different backgrounds and has unique concerns.
With this perspective, Dr. Black approaches each family individually and develops treatment plans with an emphasis on honesty, communication, and compassionate care.
For patients with extreme dental anxiety, he provides hospital treatment at HCA Houston Healthcare at Clear Lake every Friday, working with top medical anesthesiologists to provide treatments under general anesthesia. Dr. Black continues to attend advanced continuing education training in pediatric dentistry every year while participating in various events with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry as an affiliate member.
Away from Children’s Dental, Dr. Black has been serving as a dental officer in the Army Reserve for the past 17 years. He has served several missions including a deployment to Afghanistan. He hopes to see and meet new families and patients here at Children’s Dental.
