13 years and THE one everyone turns to when things get tricky!

Happy work anniversary to our amazing Amanda M., EFDA & Clinical Team Lead! 🦷✨

Amanda has been in dentistry since 2003, and after years with our team, she's become the backbone of our clinic.

When something needs to get done, Amanda doesn't just figure it out — she IS the "figure it out." 💪

From training and mentoring new assistants to making every patient feel at ease, her skill, dedication, and heart show up every single day.

Amanda, we are so lucky to have you leading the way. Here's to many more years! 🥳

🎉✨ 7 YEARS OF MADISON! ✨🎉
Seven years ago today, our practice gained so much more than a team member — we gained a multi-faceted Super-Force who makes every single day brighter!
Whether Madison is working chairside, mastering sterilization, assisting our doctors through tongue tie procedures, or swooping in to save the day for our admin team — she does it all with grace, skill, and a smile that lights up the room.

But here's what makes Madison Madison — the moment she walks through that door, the entire energy shifts. She is a genuine breath of fresh air and nowhere is that magic more visible than with our littlest patients. Madison is our very own “Pied Piper of Pediatrics”. Children are instantly drawn to her warm spirit, her gentle presence, and her incredible gift of making them feel completely safe. That bond? It's real, it's immediate, and it is pure Madison.

And the beautiful thing is — that same amazing spirit she pours into our patients and our team? She brings them home as well. Madison is fully devoted to her own children, soaking up every precious moment, and standing as their rock-solid support whenever they need her most. She is as wonderful a mother as she is a teammate — and that is truly saying something.
Here's to 7 incredible years Madison, and to so many more ahead!!!

Say it with us… MYO • FUNC • TION • AL THER • A • PY! 👄✨
(Hannah insists on proper enunciation — she IS the expert, after all! 😄)
Today we celebrate Hannah L., RDH, OMT — our beloved Myofunctional Therapist & RDH — on 8 incredible years with our practice. Since 2018, Hannah has poured her whole heart into this work, into her patients, and into this team, and we are better in every way because of her.

Hannah, you are the definition of STRONG 💪 — strong in your passion for Myofunctional Therapy, strong as an amazing momma, and strong in the quiet, steady way you show up every single day. You bring empathy and compassion to every appointment, creativity and engagement to every session, and patience and reassurance to every patient — making complex therapy feel approachable and putting each person at ease from day one.

You don't just do this job — you live it. And the lives you've changed because of that? Immeasurable.

Thank you for choosing us 8 years ago. Thank you for choosing us every day since. Congratulations, Hannah! ❤️

Help us celebrate Melanie and her milestone anniversary today!

Melanie is the cornerstone of Dandelion Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics! Eight years is a serious "tour of duty" in office management.

It’s one thing to be the "glue" that keeps the team together, although Mel is more like the "caulk", she’s the one filling the gaps, stopping the leaks, and making sure the foundation of this practice stays airtight!

We celebrate you Mel, thank you for all you do!!!
