As your kids head back to school, this is a great time to start thinking about your own smile. When you begin treatment now, you can start seeing real changes by Christmas. A confident smile is something every person deserves at any age.

Growing Smiles offers orthodontic care for adults too. Our team keeps the process comfortable, efficient, and focused on your goals. Take the first step toward the smile you have always wanted.

Healthy gums are the foundation of every strong smile. While most parents focus on cavities, gum health plays an even bigger role in protecting developing teeth and preventing discomfort. Early gum inflammation can happen when brushing habits slip or flossing is missed, but it’s easy to correct with gentle care and regular checkups. Our pediatric team looks beyond the surface to make sure your child’s gums stay healthy, comfortable, and ready to support their "growing smile".

Another Growing Smiles birthday celebration for one of our leading ladies, Dr Alice Piatkowski at our St Clair Shores office. She celebrated her birthday yesterday and we were excited to make her day special. Dr Alice is as kind as they come and her gentle touch immediately helps children relax and feel comfortable in her chair. Families adore her, our team loves working alongside her, and her calming presence makes a difference every single day.

Her staff showed her just how appreciated she is by decorating the office and putting together a small celebration filled with treats and love. It was a simple reminder of how much she means to everyone here.

Happy Birthday, Dr Alice, from all of us at Growing Smiles Pediatric Dentistry.

It has been a busy week of birthdays here at Growing Smiles and on Tuesday we celebrated our amazing dentist, Dr Brittany Schweiger. We hope her day was every bit as wonderful as she is. Her enthusiasm for her work and her love for helping children show the moment she walks into the office. She is someone everyone can rely on and the definition of a true team player.

We hope this year brings everything she is hoping for because she deserves it. From her patients to her coworkers, we all hope she knows how grateful we are to have her at Growing Smiles.

And Dr Brittany, we hope you are looking forward to the Wolverines season. HAHAHA. A little nod to our favorite Ohio State fan.

With kids heading back to school, fall sports starting up and family schedules filling fast, this season can feel nonstop for busy moms. Between packing lunches, driving to practices and keeping everyone on track, it is easy for your own dental routine to slip to the bottom of the list. This guide is meant to help you keep things simple while still taking care of yourself.

Small habits like staying hydrated, brushing in the morning and at night, choosing snacks that support your smile and keeping a travel toothbrush in your bag can make a real difference even on the busiest days. These steps are quick, practical and easy to work into a packed fall schedule.

We also know that fall is a busy time for your kids. School routines, sports and new activities can make dental care feel like one more thing to manage. Our goal is to make their visits comfortable, positive and easy, so you can feel confident that their smiles are cared for while you focus on everything else you do for your family.

We are grateful for every mom who trusts us with their children and continues to make Growing Smiles part of their routine. Your health matters just as much as theirs, and we are here to support your family through every season.

Wishing a very happy birthday to our incredible orthodontist, Dr. Tom Rafaill. Dr. Tom brings a positive energy to our office every single day, and it’s something both his patients and his coworkers feel the moment he walks in. He is caring, thorough, and always makes sure every patient in his chair knows they will receive the best care possible.

His calm confidence, attention to detail, and genuine kindness set the tone for our ortho team. He listens, he explains, and he makes every smile journey feel supported from start to finish. Our Growing Smiles family appreciates him more than he knows, and we are grateful for the way he shows up for his patients and for us.

We hope Dr. Tom has the best birthday and feels just how much his GS team loves and appreciates him.
