Safe Ear Piercing for Babies & Kids in Boca Raton, FL
Comfortable, Safe, & Medical-Grade Ear Piercing
At Rise & Shine Pediatrics, ear piercings are performed by Dr. Alicia Morrison, MD, FAAP — a board-certified pediatrician with the training and sterile environment your child deserves. We use medical-grade titanium and hypoallergenic earrings chosen specifically for young, sensitive skin.
We offer a curated selection of titanium and plastic earrings designed to minimize allergic reactions and promote healthy healing in a calm, kid-friendly environment where little ones actually feel comfortable.
Why Choose a Pediatrician for Your Child's Ear Piercing?
Sterile and Safe: Piercings are performed by a board-certified pediatrician in a fully sterile clinical environment — the same standard of care as any medical procedure.
Designed for Optimal Healing: We use Blomdahl medical-grade earrings with fixed-back posts that allow air circulation and reduce healing time — a design developed specifically for pediatric piercings.
Age-Appropriate for All Children: We pierce babies as young as 2 months and children of all ages, adjusting our approach to each child's comfort level and developmental stage.
Peace of Mind for Parents: If anything looks off during healing, you already have a relationship with your pediatrician — no need to Google whether a reaction is normal.
Aftercare & Follow-Up Support
After your child's piercing, we provide a complete aftercare kit and written instructions to take home. We recommend cleaning the piercing twice daily with a saline solution and avoiding rotating the earring. As your pediatrician, Dr. Morrison is available if you have any concerns during the healing process — no separate appointment needed.

Ear piercing is offered based on physician discretion. While there is no strict minimum age, we generally recommend waiting until after the first set of vaccines (around 2 months of age) when infants have started their primary immunizations. Timing can always be discussed and individualized based on family preference and physician recommendation.
-
Ear piercing may cause brief discomfort lasting just a few seconds. We focus on making the experience as calm and gentle as possible by using a medical-grade device designed for infants and children. Comfort measures may include feeding, swaddling, distraction techniques, and having a parent present for reassurance.
-
The actual piercing takes only a few seconds. However, we take the time needed to ensure proper positioning, safety, and comfort. Our priority is always accuracy and safety rather than speed.
-
Healing time varies, but ear lobes typically heal within about 6–12 weeks with proper aftercare. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommend leaving the starter earrings in place during the initial healing period to allow proper healing.
-
Yes. We offer a selection of medical-grade starter earrings. The appropriate size and style will be selected based on the child’s age and ear size to promote proper healing and comfort.
