Your baby's first dental visit shouldn't wait until they have a problem. 🦷

By age one (or whenever that first tooth peeks through), your child should already be meeting their pediatric dentist. Not for a procedure. Not because something's wrong. But to build a relationship — and to make sure their mouth, jaw, and airway are developing exactly the way they should.

That's the heart of our Age One Advantage program at Children's Choice. Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi, CEO & Founder, created it because she's seen what happens when families wait too long: cavities that could have been prevented, habits that could have been redirected, airway issues that could have been spotted years earlier.

These early visits are short, gentle, and built around the parent as much as the child. We answer your questions about feeding, teething, pacifiers, thumb-sucking, sleep, and what's normal versus what's worth a closer look.

Because the kids who grow up loving the dentist? They almost always started young. 💛

The most expensive thing we wear isn't a watch or a ring. 👀

Those are dental loupes — custom magnification glasses with a built-in light — and they're genuinely one of the priciest things our team wears. But here's the thing: they're not for show. They're how we see your child's smile the way it truly deserves to be seen.

At Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi and our team rely on tools like these to catch the smallest details — early signs of decay, tiny developing teeth, the things the naked eye can easily miss. More magnification means more precise, gentler care, and earlier intervention when it matters most.

Because protecting little smiles is worth every bit of that investment. 💙

Curious about whole-child, anxiety-free dental care for your family? We'd love to welcome you in.

When you walk into Children's Choice with your child, here's one of the first questions Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi, CEO & Founder, will ask you: "How are you?" 💛

Not just how is your child sleeping or how is the brushing going. But how are YOU doing as a parent?

Because here's what 20 years of pediatric dentistry has taught her: we can't really help your child thrive until we know how you are showing up too. Tired parents need different support than rested ones. Parents navigating a special needs diagnosis need a different kind of conversation. Parents who feel alone need a team that says we've got you.

Recently, a family came in with an 18-year-old patient with special challenges. Yes, we did the dental care. But Dr. Anamelechi also made sure that mom had mental health resources, support, and someone to lean on.

This is the heart of whole-child, whole-family pediatric dentistry. We see the whole picture — because we know that healthy kids come from supported parents. ✨

Here's a sentence I find myself saying to families every single week: common doesn't mean healthy. 👀

Your toddler snores? Common. Your child sleeps with their mouth open? Common.

Bedwetting past age six? Common. Grinding teeth at night? Common. Constant ear infections, restless sleep, "just a phase" picky eating? Common, common, common.

But here's the thing — all of those things can be early signals that something deeper is going on with your child's airway, jaw development, or oral function. And the earlier we catch it, the more we can do.

At Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi, CEO & Founder, has built her practice around this exact philosophy: look at the whole child. Ask better questions. Don't accept common as normal.

If something has been quietly nagging at you about your child's sleep, breathing, or development — trust that instinct. There's a reason you noticed. Let's take a look together. 💛

Today, we pause.

To the men and women who gave everything so we could live ordinary, beautiful days, thank you. To the families who carry that loss, we see you.

From all of us at, Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, we remember.

If I could share one thing with every parent, it's this: early dental habits shape so much more than smiles. 💛

They build lifelong confidence. Trust. Health. The way your child learns to take care of themselves — it starts here, with the smallest, most consistent moments.

A first visit. A gentle conversation. A check-in before there's ever a problem to fix.

At Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi, CEO & Founder, built this practice around a simple belief: when we start early, we don't just prevent cavities — we raise kids who feel safe, seen, and confident in a dental chair. Kids who grow into adults who actually take care of their health because no one ever taught them to be afraid of it.

That's the quiet magic of early care. Small visits. Steady patterns. Big, lifelong impact.

Let's not wait for a problem. Let's raise a generation of kids who love the dentist. 🦷✨

Families drive an hour each way to come here. 💙

Some followed Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi and the Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics team from a previous location. Some started when their children were babies and are still here as teenagers.

We know you have options. There are pediatric dentists closer to your house, closer to your job, easier to get to. We know that.

So when a family keeps choosing us, we pay attention to why. And it's never the dentistry alone.

It's that you feel known here.

Your child's name. Their history. Their personality. Their hard days and their good days. The team remembers. The energy is consistent. The care is personal.

That's what we protect. Every hire, every training, every decision about how we run this practice is made with your family in mind.

If you're looking for a dental home your child can grow up in, we'd love to meet you. 🤍

This is not the dentistry you grew up with. 🦷✨

Twenty years ago, a dental visit meant fillings, fluoride, and out the door. Today, at Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi, CEO & Founder, is leading a completely different kind of practice — one built around your whole child, not just their teeth.

We're talking about educating families on growth milestones, understanding how the jaw, airway, and body are all connected, and using the latest tools and technology to support children at every stage of development. And the biggest difference? You're our partner in this. Not just a name on a chart.

Because your child deserves care that evolves with them — from their very first tooth to their teenage smile and everything in between. That's not a tagline. That's the commitment we show up with every single day.

If you've ever felt like your child needed more than just a check-up, you're right. And we're here for exactly that. 💙

Twenty years gives you time to figure out what families actually need. 💙

In the early years, Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi, CEO & Founder of Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, was focused on building a team, earning trust, and listening. Really listening.

And families told us: they needed more than dental care.

They needed help with infant feeding difficulties. Airway and sleep support. A dentist who would coordinate with their child's other providers and ask how they were doing as a family. Anxiety-free options for kids who were terrified of the chair.

So that's what we built.

Pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, laser treatments, myofunctional therapy through our Thrive House, sedation options, mental health resources, and care coordination across your child's entire team.

When you walk through our door, you're walking into a practice that has spent twenty years building around what families like yours told us you needed.

We're still listening. 🤍

40% less in total dental costs. That's what happens when a child sees the dentist before their first birthday — and most parents have never heard that number.

Here's the truth we share with every family who walks through our doors: starting early isn't just about protecting little teeth. It's about protecting your peace of mind, and yes, your wallet too.

When your child comes in by their first tooth or by their first birthday, we get to do the easy, gentle work — building healthy habits, catching tiny things before they become big things, and helping your child feel safe in a dental chair from the very beginning. Those early visits are simpler, calmer, and far less expensive than the appointments that come after years of "we'll get to it later."

This is the heart of how Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi built Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics over the past 20+ years — care that meets your child early, so families start with confidence instead of catching up later.

Your child's first tooth or first birthday — whichever comes first. That's the moment. We'd love to meet you there.
