Dr. Erica Sampaio DDS
Pediatric Dentist
My name is Dr. Sampaio, and I’m excited to join the Busciglio Smiles family!
As a pediatric dentist, my goal is to create a warm, positive, and comfortable environment where every child feels safe, understood, and cared for.
I believe every child is unique, and I take the time to understand each patient’s individual personality and needs. Building trust is very important to me, and I strive to make every dental visit a positive experience through patience, kindness, and compassion.
My journey in dentistry began in Brazil, where I earned my dental degree from the Federal University of Ceará and practiced dentistry for many years. After moving to the United States, I completed a two-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at the University of Maryland, followed by specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at Nova Southeastern University in Florida.
I am passionate about helping children develop healthy smiles and a positive relationship with dental care that can last a lifetime. As both a pediatric dentist and a mom of three, I understand how important it is for parents to know their child is being treated with patience, respect, and genuine care.
Outside the office, I love spending time with my husband and our children, traveling, and enjoying time together as a family.
I look forward to meeting you and your little ones and helping them build healthy, happy smiles!
