Meet Dr. Cella

Nelligan Cella

Mary Nelligan Cella

D.D.S., M.S.

Pediatric Dentist

Dr. Cella earned her DDS 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.

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 board-eligible pediatric dentist 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.
