Mary Nelligan Cella, D.D.S.

Dr. Mary Nelligan Cella earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo, a Master of Science in Nutrition from Columbia University, and completed specialty training in pediatric dentistry at Boston University, where she served as chief resident. She completed hospital training at Boston Medical Center and Franciscan Children's Hospital.  

Having studied behavioral neuroscience at Union College, she enjoys the behavior guidance component of pediatric dentistry and finds it rewarding when a child who is nervous has a positive experience and leaves with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Dr. Cella is a diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.  

Originally from Pittsfield, MA, she is a proud third-generation dentist; her late grandfather was an oral surgeon, and her father is a general dentist. She decided she wanted to be a dentist at the age of five and is honored to carry on her family's legacy.  

Dr. Cella will be seeing patients in our office on Mondays and Tuesdays.
