Book your appointment for a 'GRIN'credible experience
Giggles & Grins is an exclusive pediatric dental practice which caters to the oral health needs of individuals from 0 - 18 years. G&G is a unique space for your kids to feel safe and pleasant during their dental visits. We specialize in addressing the root cause of the issue and provide you with holistic treatment solutions. We are airway focused and myofunctional dentists committed to making a difference in your childs oral health and dental experience. We advocate for gentle and respectful care and do not follow any aversive conditioning methods on kids.
An Airway focused practice has a multidisciplinary team that provides personalized attention to your child's unique oral and overall health needs. A visit to our kids' dental practice goes beyond mere tooth counting and decay treatment. We take a holistic approach, assessing growth patterns, and evaluating essential functions like eating, sleeping, and breathing. From newborn assessments for breastfeeding difficulties to monitoring solid food transitions, sleep hygiene, jaw growth, and tooth eruption, we provide continuous support. Our exclusive oral sensory-motor and myofunctional evaluation protocol enables us to identify potential issues early on, ensuring optimal development and well-being.
When you step into a typical kids' dental practice, prevention is often limited to fluoride treatments, sealants, flossing, brushing, and sugar avoidance. But is that really all there is to prevention?
Observe the irony: some kids indulge in sweets without getting decay, while others, despite being deprived, still develop cavities. The link between sugar and decay is real, but it's oversimplified. Decay is often the result of multiple factors.
True prevention goes beyond just preventing decay. It's about addressing the root causes and eliminating them. As preventive dentists, can we claim to be doing enough if we only focus on decay prevention?
At G&G, we believe in harnessing the full power of prevention. We can help prevent:
- Crooked teeth
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Feeding and eating issues
- Narrow jaws
- Deleterious habits
Join us in redefining the scope of prevention in kids' dentistry. Schedule a visit to Giggles & Grins and discover the comprehensive preventive care your child deserves!

Breastfeeding: Nature's Gift for Optimal Oral Health
Breastfeeding is more than just nourishment; it's a profound bonding experience. Breastmilk is often called "liquid gold" due to its numerous benefits, including immunity and optimal growth. However, few people realize that breastfeeding directly from the breast has additional, immeasurable benefits:
- Wider jaw growth
- Healthier airways
- Stronger oral muscles
- Nervous system regulation
- Oral sensory motor integration
Challenging the Common Narrative
You may have heard that breastfeeding beyond tooth eruption can lead to cavities. However, this narrative neglects the fact that breastfeeding is a natural, physiological process. If breastfeeding were inherently harmful, wouldn't our ancestors have suffered from widespread tooth decay?
The Truth Revealed
Breastfeeding doesn't cause tooth decay; it actually helps prevent it! By strengthening oral muscles and promoting wider jaws, breastfeeding paves the way for spaced dentition, reducing the risk of decay.
Embracing the New Norm
Join the movement and follow in the footsteps of our ancestors:
- Extended, exclusive, uncompensated breastfeeding
- Breastfeeding directly from the mother's naked breast (the first form of myofunctional therapy)
Nature knows best. Trust the process, and give your child the gift of optimal oral health through breastfeeding. If you are facing issues with feeding the baby directly, get in touch with our team to help you and your baby navigate through this!!
