For Kids

Our pediatric dental practice focuses on a partnership to help each child develop beliefs, skills, and habitual behaviors to support a lifetime of oral and systemic health.

We help children develop beliefs, skills, and habits. We use non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures including laser, ozone, and caries arresting treatment. We use biocompatible materials to restore teeth to their most natural state. We are thankful for the families we have the privilege to serve and serve with happiness and compassion.

We create a positive dental experience while providing a whole-body and holistic approach.

Because you are in charge of your own body, 

We focus on partnering with your child to navigate his or her own journey toward dental health.

Because your teeth are connected to your body, 

We use non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures and biocompatible materials.

Because your teeth are an expression of your body.

We use ALF (Advanced Lightwire Functionals) to enhance craniosacral rhythm and allow the jaw to develop to its full potential.

regular visits

We take the time to mentor kids on oral hygiene so that each child develops the skills and knowledge to maintain good oral health into adulthood. Each visit begins with a one-on-one, mentored approach to oral hygiene skill development. Nutrition education is part of each visit. We do not routinely apply fluoride. 

Dr. Moy and Dr. Nakako’s unique training allows orthodontic assessment and myofunctional assessment to be incorporated into each visit. We create a positive dental experience while providing a whole-body and holistic approach.

treatment

We are passionate about treating the root cause of cavities and that minimal treatment is most beneficial. We advocate strengthening teeth naturally through diet and lifestyle changes. When cavities do form, safe non-invasive treatment is used first and foremost to control the growth of the cavities. Ultimately if fillings are indicated, care is taken to select the most biocompatible materials. 

Ozone is used as a natural disinfection agent for cavities, infections, gum issues, and lesions in the mouth. Laser fillings are an option – with laser, less anesthesia is needed and laser does not create the heat, vibration, and pressure of traditional dental work. Low level laser therapy can be used to promote healing.

alf, osteopathy and myofunctional therapy

We work on the root causes of malaligned teeth and incorporate myofunctional therapy into your visits. We use Advanced Lightwire Functional Appliance (A.L.F.) and work with an osteopath as part of the team on site. We look at your whole body, not just your teeth. Dr. Moy and Dr. Nakako are both trained in cranial osteopathy and myofunctional therapy. With this unique background, we can diagnose and treat the functions of the body leading to malaligned teeth as part of your regular check-ups and ALF visits.
