Although very few children are enthusiastic about their trip to the dentist, Dr. Jeannine Wyke decided in fourth grade that dentistry was her calling. Never wavering from this early goal, Dr. Wyke, a pediatric dentist in Bethlehem, dedicates her days to attempting to create great dental beginnings for her patients. Dr. Wyke was born in Philadelphia and grew up in the Roxborough/Manayunk section of the city. She graduated from the Temple University School of Dentistry and completed her residency in pediatric dentistry at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. While in dental school, Dr. Wyke met her future husband, David. In 1998, the couple moved to the Lehigh Valley, where she opened her practice in Bethlehem.
Although she and her husband manage their own dental practice, the Wykes still consider their son, Craig, and daughter, Charlie, to be their greatest achievements. While continuing education and national lectures help Dr. Wyke remain current with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's latest guidelines, she also believes that her own experiences as a parent have been instrumental in helping her understand and bond with her patients and their families.
In addition to her generally upbeat demeanor, Dr. Wyke and her dedicated staff adhere to the philosophy that each patient is an individual with unique needs. In addressing these specific needs and working closely with patients and their families, Dr. Wyke andher staff hope that every individual leaves the office with the information that they need to maintain confident smiles as they grow into adults.
Growing up, Dr. Wyke had envisioned having her own building dedicated to her practice where she can provide care to her patients. She recently purchased and renovated a historic building at 260 East Broad Street in Bethlehem. The complete renovation of the new office building has allowed Dr. Wyke and her team to design a welcoming office space with a modern and efficient layout, ample parking and a convenient location for her patients.
When Dr. Wyke has some free time outside of her new office, she enjoys traveling with her family and spending time “down the shore.” Dr. Wyke considers herself an avid sports fan with a genetically predisposed love for the Philadelphia Phillies. The entire family has also become fans of the Lehigh Valley's own sports teams, and you may even run into them at the next IronPigs or Phantoms game.
