From the moment children walk in the door at Bippo's Place For Smiles, they know they're someplace special; someplace fun. They're greeted warmly and invited into our play area, where there are toys, video games and special contests to keep them happy. Once they get to our comfortable dental chairs, we keep them relaxed with a joke, a smile and a hand to hold. Dentists and kids are on a first-name

basis with one another. And our dentists speak kids' language. When we talk about dental care with your child, we never use scary words like "shots", "drill", "anesthesia," "X-rays" or "cavities." Instead we use child friendly words like "sleepy-juice," "taking pictures" or "tooth bugs." We also use the latest numbing techniques to ensure our care is very gentle. In fact, many kids say they hardly even notice injections because they are so gentle. Plus after their visit, your child will get a prize for being such a good, brave patient. Everyone at Bippo's Place for Smiles loves to make your child's trip to the dentist fun!

Growing athletes need protection that can grow with them. A simple boil and bite mouthguard is often a practical choice while teeth and jaws are still changing.

If you’re not sure what type of mouthguard is best for your child, Dr. Jill and the Bippo’s team are always happy to help.

A bright smile is exciting, especially before a big event, but whitening products aren’t always the right choice for growing teeth.

Before trying an over the counter whitener, talk with your child’s dentist.
We’ll help you choose the safest option to keep their smile healthy and photo ready.

Teeth grinding is common in children, and many outgrow it as they get older. But if your child is waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or showing signs of wear on their teeth, it’s worth having it evaluated.

Our team can help determine whether it’s a normal stage of development or something that needs a little extra attention.

Good oral health starts earlier than many parents realize. As soon as that first tooth appears, it’s time to start brushing with a soft toothbrush and a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste.

Building healthy habits from the very beginning helps set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. If you have questions, the Bippo’s team is always here to help.

The best time for an orthodontic evaluation may be earlier than you think. Around ages 7 or 8, an orthodontist can identify developing bite and jaw issues while they’re still easier to address.

If you’re wondering whether it’s time for your child to be evaluated, our team is happy to help guide you in the right direction.

Not all sweet treats affect teeth the same way. Sticky snacks tend to cling to teeth much longer, giving cavity-causing bacteria more time to do their work.

When your child enjoys chewy treats, encourage them to brush afterward or rinse with water. Small habits like these can go a long way in protecting healthy smiles.

Mouth breathing is more than a sleeping habit. Over time, it can affect your child’s jaw development, tooth alignment, and even the quality of their sleep.

If you’ve noticed your child regularly breathes through their mouth, bring it up at their next Bippo’s visit. Early conversations can make a lasting difference.

Packing a tooth-friendly lunch doesn’t have to be complicated. Small swaps like choosing fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese, yogurt, and water instead of sticky or sugary snacks can help protect your child’s smile throughout the school day.

Healthy habits at lunchtime can make a big difference. Here’s to a happy, healthy school year!
