About Dr. Romney

Romney Pediatric Dental is a pediatric dental practice serving the Salt Lake City, Utah, and Rock Springs, Wyoming, communities.

Dr. Romney is from Salt Lake City, Utah, graduated from East High School, and the University of Utah (Go Utes!). Dr. Romney graduated from dental school in 2006 from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. He then completed his pediatric specialty training in 2008 at Primary Children’s Hospital. He has built a dental practice that is family friendly and focuses on helping kids learn about caring for their teeth and smiles.

 

Dr. Romney is a specialist in pediatric dentistry, which is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. A pediatric dentist provides comprehensive oral health care for children of all ages, including those with special health care needs. A pediatric dentist has completed at least two years of additional training beyond the usual four years of dental school required to become a general dentist. This extra training emphasizes a child’s growth and development, the developing psyche, how to best manage a child’s anxiety and behavior in the dental office, and other topics specific to children’s dentistry. The proper and safe use of nitrous oxide, conscious sedation, intravenous sedation, and hospital dentistry are very important components of a pediatric dental residency.

Not all pediatric dentists are board certified. Dr. Romney is Diplomates of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. This means that they have successfully completed an accredited pediatric dental residency program and voluntary pediatric dental board examinations. Their credentials have been verified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, and they are qualified to provide exceptional dental care for your child.

About Dr. Ray

Dr. Cayla Ray was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania. Having been raised in a small town, she values genuine interactions and believes having fun is the ‘root’ of any good experience, whether young or old.

Dr. Cayla obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Biology/Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh, where she also had the pleasure of playing collegiate tennis.

After her dental school training, Dr. Cayla completed a 2-year pediatric dental residency at Primary Children’s Hospital. During this time, she received extensive training in dentistry for children, adolescents, and individuals with Special Health Care Needs.

Her training also specialized in sedation and general anesthesia, as well as managing medically complex cases and dental trauma related emergencies.

In her free time, Dr. Cayla enjoys spending time with her fiancé and 2 dogs, exploring new places and food, working out, and fostering as many dogs as possible until they find their “fur”ever home.
