😊🦷Did you know some children are born with extra tooth buds?
Sometimes, extra tooth buds form before birth and can create additional teeth. This happens when the dental tissue that forms teeth divides or develops differently very early in pregnancy. In some children, this process creates more tooth buds than usual, which may lead to extra baby teeth, extra permanent teeth, or both. Genetics can also play a role, and this variation occurs naturally during dental development.
Every smile develops in its own unique way, and these differences are part of normal dental growth. With thoughtful monitoring and gentle care, our team can guide healthy development as a child grows.

💛 Part 3 of 5 — When hope finally replaces years of worry 😊🌸
Cheryl shares how years of challenges left her feeling discouraged. One phone call changed everything. Dr. Reem personally called her back and took time to talk through what was possible. Together, they created a plan that included care under anesthesia when needed, followed by ongoing support designed to help avoid repeating it. Through patience, trust, and thoughtful planning rooted in special needs dentistry, Melissa has continued care successfully. What once felt overwhelming now feels almost miraculous.

💛 Part 2 of 5 — What if special needs dentistry actually planned for your child? 😊
Cheryl shares how Smiles offered something she never expected. One familiar dental team could support Melissa’s regular visits while also preparing for more complex care. Extra time, clear communication, and emotional understanding mattered. For children with developmental disabilities, anxiety around dental care feels real. Smiles approached every visit with patience, intention, and preparation rooted in special needs dentistry.

🦷✨ What if dental anesthesia for children supported comfort through gentle dentistry?
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, founder Dr. Reem approaches pediatric dental anesthesia as one supportive element within a much larger picture of wellness, trust, and emotional safety. Care begins with education, preparation, and honoring how a child experiences dental visits — not with numbing alone.
In her latest blog, Dr. Reem shares a thoughtful, wellness-centered perspective on dental anesthesia for children, exploring its history, its appropriate role, and why gentle dentistry remains essential for shaping lifelong dental health. Anesthesia serves best when paired with communication, modern technology, and respect for a child’s nervous system. 💛
Through intentional conversations with parents, age-appropriate explanations for children, and carefully chosen comfort tools, Dr. Reem designs dental experiences that protect confidence and reduce anxiety — while supporting health rather than fear.

🍿🥤 Why can cavities start appearing in the teen years even if they brush? 😬
It’s more common than many families expect.

As teens become more independent, snacking habits often change 🛍️📱. Frequent snacks and sweetened drinks can expose teeth to repeated acid attacks throughout the day. Every sip of soda or bite of candy restarts this acid cycle, which softens enamel for hours ⚡🦷. Over time, this weakens teeth and increases cavity risk, even with regular brushing. Simple swaps can help. Replacing candy with cheese for 30 days 🧀 can lower cavity risk by up to one third by supporting enamel strength and balancing mouth pH. Small changes in daily choices can make a big difference for teen smiles.

Does this sound familiar in your household, or did this surprise you? 💬
We’d love to hear what snacking habits look like for your teen.
