The friendly staff made me and my children feel welcomed from the moment we walked in the office. The dentist, Dr. Davis was kind, patient, and an expertise in her field. The staff was equally amazing—helpful, attentive, and professional. They made what can be a dreadful and stressful experience feel easy and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Dr. Davis and her entire team of dental professionals give us a WOW experience each visit since pandemic when we began as new patients with them. Their office staff keep schools calendar handy, provide flexible appointments and only suggest science backed prevention and remedial dental treatments. Check out their patients sketched art gallery and game room. Floss the tooth you want to save.
Dr. Davis & her staff are absolutely wonderful, I’ve been a client for years. They are welcoming, have superb customer service & always treat us with kindness & respect. Highly recommend this dental office to friends and family.
I did my research in the area when my daughter came of age to see a dentist and landed on Healthy Smiles. 5 years later and I am still SO happy with my decision! This is the only dentist my daughters have ever been to because we are so happy with this practice. The dentist can be scary, but Healthy Smiles does what they can to make it less so for my girls. There is a welcoming, fun lobby. Kind employees. A TV screen to watch over the procedure chair. They say everything they are doing out loud to keep your kiddos informed. And a couple of fun little prizes for the brave patient when it is done. I 100% recommend this dentist for your kids.
May have been bringing my 5 children to Healthy Smiles for 14 years. That in itself says something but we all love Dr. Davis. Plus the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Young boy and girl brushing their teeth happilyWondering how to make brushing fun for kids? You’ve come to the right place. As pediatric dentists, we get this question a lot. Although you’re able to take care of oral hygiene for your kids in their youngest years, as they get older, they take over and begin brushing their own teeth. Some kids like it—but most kids don’t. To make it a positive experience for them, you can use a few of the following tips.

Create a Fun Association

Instead of letting your kids see brushing as a boring chore, pair it with another enticing activity. Do they have a favorite song? Have them brush their teeth for the duration of the song. Do you have more than one kiddo at home? Have them brush together to make it a group activity and encourage them to develop their own brush time dance moves.

Let Them Choose Their Tools

Instead of picking out their toothbrush and toothpaste for them, encourage them to take part in the process. Take them to the store with you so they can be engaged with picking out their favorites—this creates exciting anticipation for when they get to use their new tools.

Model the Behavior

Being a kids’ dentist means we get to remind parents to brush as well! When your kids see you prioritize your oral hygiene, they follow in your footsteps. You know they model everything you do—even the things you wish they didn’t! Make use of their early childhood imitative behaviors, and become a good role model with your own daily dental hygiene routine.

Use a Reward System

If you’re dealing with an especially stubborn kiddo, implement a reward system. This could be something as simple as a sticker chart placed near the bathroom sink where they brush. This way, they can work up to a weekend reward if they brush every single night. When they see their progress, not only do they experience a feeling of accomplishment, but they can also choose a prize you agree on! Throughout their lives, kids require dental care—both at home and at your favorite dentist. Learn more about the services we offer and schedule your exam with Healthy Smiles Children’s Dentistry!
