Kiddsmiles Pediatric Dentistry is a fun, state of the art, positive environment. «It’s a great feeling when a child walks into my office and says, ‘This is the coolest dental office ever!’ However, nothing gives me greater satisfaction than when a child leaves my office with a smile on their face.» –Michele Savel, DDS

History

Established in 2005.

As a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist and mother of 2, I know how important it is that a child likes visiting the dentist. I myself had very poor dental experience as a child and teenager. It became most important to me that children receive quality care by a friendly dentist who cares about their fears and their emotions. My goal is that my patients never develop a fear of dentists.

Our new offices are equipped with the latest state of the art technology, including laser dentistry, digital x-​rays and computer imaging. Our staff has extra training and experience in dealing with children, everyone is aware that the visit is supposed to be as fun and comfortable as possible.

Simply put, Kiddsmiles Pediatric Dentistry is a fun, positive environment. And it’s a great feeling when a child walks into my office and says, ‘This is the coolest dental office ever.’ However, nothing gives me greater satisfaction than when a child leaves my office with a smile on their face.
