ABQ Pediatric Dentistry is pleased to welcome Dr. Spencer Tasker as the new owner and lead pediatric dental provider. Current and prospective patients can reach the practice online at https://www.abqpediatricdentistry.com.
Dr. Tasker takes over from Dr. Audrey Rawson as she begins a new venture in Hawaii.
Dr. Tasker graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in French. He attended Case School of Dental Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. He was introduced to New Mexico in 2004 during his introductory postgraduate dental program at The University of New Mexico. After completing his pediatric residency at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital back in Cleveland, Ohio, Dr. Tasker decided to make New Mexico his home. He has practiced in New Mexico for 18 years.
As a board-certified pediatric dentist and Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Tasker provides compassionate care with great expertise. He offers a high standard of dental care from infancy through the older teen years.
Unique services offered by Dr. Tasker include the practice of special needs dentistry and the availability of four levels of sedation dentistry:
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
- Oral conscious sedation
- IV sedation dentistry known as deep sedation, which is completed at the ABQ Pediatric Dentistry location with an anesthesiologist
- General anesthesia in a hospital setting
Dr. Tasker also uses a laser to perform lip and tongue-tie procedures. The laser facilitates an efficient procedure and minimizes discomfort in addition to promoting a faster healing time and decreasing the risk of infection, which can promote improved results over traditional methods.
“I am honored and excited to join ABQ Pediatric Dentistry, and I wish my friend and former colleague, Dr. Rawson continued success in her career in Hawaii. I look forward to building strong, trusting relationships with patients and their families!”
