Nurturing Healthy Smiles for a Lifetime

At Well Being Dentistry, we believe that childhood is the most critical time to establish a foundation for systemic health. Our approach to pediatric dentistry goes beyond just “fixing cavities.” We focus on the biological, developmental, and emotional needs of your child.

By choosing holistic pediatric care, you are ensuring that your child’s dental treatments are as non-toxic and minimally invasive as possible, while also addressing the root causes of dental and airway development issues.

A Biocompatible & Non-Toxic Approach to Growing Smiles

Children are more sensitive to environmental toxins and chemicals than adults. That is why we have carefully curated our pediatric protocols to eliminate unnecessary risks.

BPA-Free Sealants and Fillings

Standard dental plastics often contain Bisphenol A (BPA), which can mimic hormones in the body. We exclusively use BPA-free dental sealants and composite resins. These materials provide the same protective and restorative benefits without exposing your child’s developing system to endocrine disruptors.

Fluoride-Free Remineralization

While fluoride is a traditional staple, many parents have concerns about systemic exposure and fluorosis (white spotting on teeth). We offer Hydroxyapatite-based treatments.

This naturally occurring mineral makes up 97% of tooth enamel and works by delivering bio-available calcium that the body can immediately use to rebuild and strengthen enamel. It effectively helps prevent cavities in a way that is safe—even for toddlers who may swallow toothpaste.

While fluoride is a traditional staple, many parents have concerns about systemic exposure and fluorosis (white spotting on teeth). We offer Hydroxyapatite-based treatments. This is a naturally occurring mineral that makes up 97% of tooth enamel. It effectively "rebuilds" enamel and prevents cavities in a way that is 100% safe if swallowed.

Airway-Focused Pediatric Growth & Development: Why Breathing Matters

One of the most unique aspects of holistic pediatric dentistry at Well Being Dentistry is our focus on the airway. The way a child’s jaw develops dictates how they breathe, and how they breathe dictates their health.

Why Airway Screening Matters:

Mouth Breathing vs. Nasal Breathing

Mouth breathing can lead to narrow jaws, crooked teeth, and a higher risk of cavities. We help guide your child toward healthy nasal breathing while monitoring craniofacial development to ensure there is adequate space for proper alignment and eruption of adult teeth.

Sleep and Behavior

Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) in children is often misdiagnosed as ADHD. By identifying and addressing airway issues, we help ensure proper breathing during sleep—supporting better sleep quality, improved focus, and more balanced behavior.

Early Orthodontics (Expansion)

We use gentle, non-invasive appliances to guide the growth of the palate, ensuring there is enough room for adult teeth and a wide-open airway.

Gentle, Low-Radiation Technology for Our Youngest Patients

We want your child to love coming to the dentist. Our technology is chosen to make visits faster, safer, and more comfortable.

Low-Radiation Digital X-Rays

We use the most advanced sensors to reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film.

Ozone Therapy

For small cavities, we can often use Medical-Grade Ozone gas to kill decay-causing bacteria. This can sometimes eliminate the need for traditional drilling and numbing.

Laser Dentistry

When appropriate, we use dental lasers for tongue-tie releases (frenectomies) and soft tissue work, resulting in less bleeding and much faster healing times.

Promoting a Healthy Oral Microbiome

Rather than just killing all bacteria with harsh chemicals, we focus on balancing the oral microbiome.

Xylitol Education

We teach parents how to use this natural birch sugar to starve “bad” bacteria.

Probiotic Support

We may recommend specific oral probiotics to populate your child’s mouth with “good” bacteria that fight decay and gum inflammation naturally.

Nutritional Guidance

We provide advice on “tooth-friendly” diets that focus on fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, and K₂), which are essential for building strong teeth from the inside out.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child first visit a holistic dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a visit by the first birthday. In a holistic practice, this early visit is crucial for discussing nursing/feeding habits, airway health, and tongue-tie screenings.

Is the "No-Fluoride" approach effective?

Yes. When combined with a low-sugar diet, proper hygiene, and the use of Hydroxyapatite for remineralization, children can maintain perfectly healthy, cavity-free teeth without the use of fluoride.

What is a "Biological" extraction for a child?

If a baby tooth must be removed, we ensure the site is cleaned thoroughly to prevent any residual infection. We focus on keeping the child calm and using biocompatible materials if a “space maintainer” is required to keep the gap open for the adult tooth.

Why Parents Choose Well Being Dentistry

We treat your children as if they were our own. Our office is a true “no-fear zone,” where we prioritize the psychological well-being of our young patients just as much as their physical health. We offer a sensory-friendly environment—including comforts like weighted blankets and noise-canceling headphones—to help children with sensory sensitivities feel safe and relaxed.

Using advanced laser dentistry, we can often treat small cavities without a needle or “shot,” making visits easier, gentler, and far less stressful for your child.

Empower your child with a dental experience that supports their whole-body health. We are currently accepting new pediatric patients and would love to welcome your family into ours.
