Board-certified pediatric dentist Dr. Lauren Companioni Strahan has positively shaped the way thousands of children feel about going to the dentist. Children love to visit South Tampa Dental Krewe and feel safe and comfortable with her and her caring, gentle staff.

“Working with kids every day is pretty amazing,” she says. “Pediatric dentistry shapes a child’s view of the dentist. I always try to pick something special to talk about for each kiddo. It helps us to build a relationship and then they look forward to coming back.” 

Dr. Companioni and her team take a holistic approach to dental health and emphasize preventative care. Her gentle touch helps kids stay calm getting cavities filled. She also provides laser treatments to release tongue ties, digital X-rays, nitrous oxide and IV sedation.

Outside of work, Dr. Companioni enjoys relaxing and spending time with her husband, TJ, and their two daughters, Sadie and Libby.
