Your Trusted Adult and Pediatric Dentist In West Baltimore

One practice handling both children and adults means one set of records, one phone number, and one relationship with a team that knows your family. For West Baltimore households in Lakeland and Mt Winans juggling work, school, and limited transportation, cutting dental appointments from two practices down to one is a real practical relief.

Dr. Spates handles all pediatric care while Dr. Robinson handles adults at the same Federal Hill location. You are not bouncing between providers or re-explaining your family history at every visit.

Family block scheduling groups parent and child appointments back to back in the same visit window. Instead of two separate trips across the city, West Baltimore families from Violetville and Morrell Park come in once and both the parent and child are seen before they leave.

This is especially useful for parents who rely on a single vehicle, work non-traditional hours, or have children in multiple age groups who each need different types of care. Call us at (443) 681-6455 and our front desk team builds the block around your schedule.

We see emergency patients for both children and adults including on Saturdays from 7AM to 1PM. Severe tooth pain, swelling, broken teeth, and knocked out teeth are all evaluated quickly so the problem is stabilized and the next step is clear before you leave.

West Baltimore families near Edmondson Village and Carroll Park are about 11 minutes from our Federal Hill office. Call (443) 681-6455 as soon as the emergency happens and our team walks you through what to do before you arrive.

Digital imaging lets Dr. Spates and Dr. Robinson detect decay, bone changes, and developmental issues that are not visible during a standard exam. Catching problems early means simpler treatment and lower cost, which matters especially for West Baltimore families managing care on Medicaid or a tight budget.

Every image is explained to the parent or patient before any treatment is discussed. Nothing moves forward without you understanding what we found and why it matters.

Yes. Sealants are one of the most cost-effective preventive tools we offer and are fully covered under Maryland Smiles Medicaid for eligible children. We apply a thin protective coating to the chewing surfaces of back molars, covering the deep grooves where cavities start in school-age kids.

Families near Coppin State University and Westport ask about sealants often. If your child is getting their permanent molars, this is the right time to ask Dr. Spates whether sealants make sense.

Yes. Dr. Spates holds a pediatric dentistry certificate from the University of Maryland with specialty training in treating children with special healthcare needs. West Baltimore families near Mt Winans and Morrell Park come to us after other offices told them they were not equipped to help.

Every visit is adapted in advance. Parents discuss their child's specific sensory, behavioral, and communication needs with our team before the appointment so nothing catches anyone off guard on the day.

Yes. Sparkling Charms accepts Medicaid through the Maryland Smiles program. West Baltimore is a community where Medicaid coverage is common and specialist-level care that accepts it is not. We close that gap for families in Lakeland, Violetville, and Westport who deserve board-certified pediatric and adult dental care regardless of insurance type.

Our front desk confirms your coverage before your first visit so there are no surprises at check-in.

Dr. Kheri-Ann Robinson, DMD completed her General Practice Residency at BronxCare Health System in New York City, one of the busiest safety-net hospitals in the country. She joined Sparkling Charms specifically because of its commitment to increasing dental access in underserved Baltimore communities like West Baltimore.

West Baltimore adults who have avoided the dentist for years, whether due to cost, anxiety, or past negative experiences, find Dr. Robinson's judgment-free, unhurried approach to be a significant departure from what they expected. She builds treatment plans around what each patient actually needs, not what generates the most appointments.
