Dr. Daniel Cohen received his bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University and his dental degree from the University of Maryland Dental School.  Dr. Dan then completed a General Practice Residency at Monmouth Medical Center and a Pediatric Dental Residency at Lutheran Medical Center, where he served as Chief Resident.  He truly enjoys teaching and serves as a mentor to many dental students and new dentists in the field of pediatric dentistry. 

Dr. Dan is a friendly, compassionate, Board Certified pediatric dentist who strives to mold children’s behaviors and develop proper attitudes toward dental hygiene. He understands the significance of communication with both parents and children in order to create a comfortable, relaxed environment and a great experience for every child.   He takes pride in serving as a “dental coach” to his young patients and parents, and in the process changing their perceptions about dentistry.  There is no greater feeling for him than to receive a hug from a smiling patient.

Dr. Dan supports the belief of The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics that children should be evaluated by a Pediatric Dentist by one year of age.  This is important for educating parents about the significance of appropriate reduction of bottle feeding, fluoride supplementation, and proper hygiene/diet considerations.  This visit also serves to establish a growing relationship between your child, family and Dr. Dan. 

He is very active in the community as he volunteers his time every year to Give Kids a Smile, an organization that provides free dental care for underprivileged children.  He also makes dental presentations throughout the year to local preschools and daycares. In his spare time, Dr. Dan enjoys working out, cheering on the Yankees and Giants, and spending time with his family.  He has had the opportunity to coach athletes for various Special Olympic competitions in the past. He is a New Jersey native, and he currently lives in Bergen County with his wife, Lauren and their daughters Hayley and Brooke.
