Braces have come a long way! Today, kids and teens have more options than ever to achieve that perfect, healthy smile in a way that feels comfortable to them. 😁✨

Clear retainers (or aligners) have become a super popular alternative to traditional braces. They offer amazing flexibility—kids can take them out to enjoy their favorite snacks and brush their teeth without navigating around wires. Plus, their nearly invisible look is a huge confidence booster!

However, they aren't the perfect fit for everyone. For more severe bite issues, traditional braces are still the superhero we rely on.

Curious about which path is right for your child's smile? Your pediatric dentist is here to help guide you every step of the way!

We are so proud of Dr. Marisa for spending her weekend giving back at the 2026 Colorado Mission of Mercy (COMOM) in Cripple Creek! 🏔️🦷

COMOM is an incredible nonprofit that travels to a different Colorado community each year, setting up a large-scale, two-day clinic. Their mission? To provide free, high-quality dental care to those who need it most. Dr. Marisa joined forces with other dentists from across the state to provide dental care to those in need. Since 2007, COMOM has served more than 21,000 patients and provided over $19,000,000 in donated dental services! We love seeing healthy, happy smiles everywhere we go. 💙

As a parent, you might be wondering if your child needs orthodontic treatment. While we all want a beautiful, confident smile for our kids, braces also play a huge role in their overall oral health! 🦷✨

There are three common conditions that usually mean it's time for some orthodontic magic: overbites, underbites, and crowding. Each of these can affect how your child chews, speaks, and cleans their teeth.

The great news? Your pediatric dentist has special training in growth and development, and can help advise if/when they should seen an orthodontist!

The exciting milestone of losing baby teeth is here! As your child grows, their transition to permanent teeth is a big deal, and we want to make it as fun and stress-free as possible. 🦷✨

Usually starting around age 6yo, this natural process continues into their early teens. From gently wiggling loose teeth to navigating the funny shark tooth phase, there is a lot to expect.

Remember, it's completely normal for new adult teeth to look a bit larger, less pearly white, or have little ridges! Building great habits now—like brushing twice a day and regular checkups—ensures their new smile stays strong and healthy.

We're always here to support your child's oral development journey with a big grin! 😁 When did your little one lose their first tooth? Let us know below! 👇

Getting back into the school routine can be a handful, but keeping your child's smile bright and healthy doesn't have to be stressful! 🎒✨

Did you know that students miss over 51 million school hours each year due to dental problems? We want to keep your little ones learning and smiling all year long! Start by scheduling a fun, stress-free check-up with your pediatric dentist every six months. 🦷

When packing those lunches, swap out sugary sweets for fun-shaped fruits, whole grains, and cheese to keep those cavities away. Don't forget to let them pick out their own cool water bottle to stay hydrated! 💧🍎

Finally, make brushing and flossing a blast with a fun family playlist or a rewarding weekly checklist.

Talking to your little ones about cavities doesn't have to be scary! ✨ As parents, we want to set our kids up for a lifetime of healthy, happy smiles. But since cavities are an abstract concept, children can have a hard time grasping why we need to brush every day.

The secret? Bring it into the real world! Try using fun, visual models like pouring warm water over an ice cube to show how bacteria eats away at healthy tooth structure. Most importantly, keep the conversation positive. Teach moderation instead of making them fearful of their favorite treats. A scoop of ice cream is perfectly fine when we remember to "wash" our teeth afterward! 🍦🦷

Need a little backup? Our team of kid experts has plenty of fun models to help! Book your child's next cleaning today. 👇

In honor of Shark Week, we felt it was the perfect time to discuss a common dental finding - shark teeth!

Seeing a second row of teeth behind your child's baby teeth can be a big surprise! 🦈 Often called 'shark teeth,' this usually happens around age six when bottom adult teeth make their entrance.

Before you worry about early braces, take a deep breath! This is a super common, pain-free part of growing up.

The best thing you can do? Keep brushing twice a day and flossing to keep gums healthy. Encourage your little one to wiggle that loose baby tooth! Once it falls out, their tongue will naturally help push the new adult tooth right into place.

If the adult tooth gets as tall as the baby tooth and the baby tooth is not loose, just bring them in for a checkup so our dentists can evaluate if the tooth needs some extra help falling out!

As parents, we all want to protect our little ones from cavities, but it can be tricky to know if they’re brushing perfectly every time!✨

That’s where dental sealants come in to save the day! Think of them as tiny, invisible superhero shields for your child’s teeth. They provide a critical extra layer of protection, especially for kids who are still mastering their brushing routine (or those who have a bit of a sweet tooth!). 🦸‍♀️🦷

From reducing the risk of decay by 80% to lasting for several years, sealants are a safe way to keep those big grins healthy and bright. Swipe through to learn everything you need to know about this amazing protective treatment! 👉
