Smile Republic Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

We celebrated some big milestones over at this month! With Belinda from Orthodontics celebrating 30 years with us, and Dr.Kristine celebrating 5 years! Two amazing women who represent nothing but the best. We’re so lucky to have them here with us!

Warmth from the moment you walk in our door. We’re so excited to share our new immersive space! It’s been a long time coming, but the vision we had for this space has finally come together, and we can’t wait to share it with you all!

Today we had the pleasure of correcting the tongue tie of the nephew of one of our team! Check out this cutie pie & happy parents! He did so good with the help of his favorite Tia and favorite dentist. We’re so excited to hear how this short procedure changes him going forward!

Dr. Justin and his little ones had a blast at the Family Literacy Festival!📚✨They even had a chance to meet our city’s mascot Sammy Clarita, and some characters from childhood classics.

Our guess the pumpkin weight giveaway! This year we had over 500 entrees and SO MANY WINNERS! No one guessed the exact weight (86.5lbs!) but we had a few 86lb and 87lb guesses. IMPRESSIVE!!! Our giveaway was two $50 target cards, so we raffled from the winners for those two cards. We couldn’t let the other amazing guessers go without, so those patients will get a $25 gift card!

Congrats to all the winners! The office will give you a call Monday to claim your prize.

We had guesses ranging from 20lbs to 6000lbs! What would you guess it is?

Things are getting spOoky around here! Be the first morning patient and use a magic wand to turn on our floating candles ✨ 🧙🧙‍♂️ Our resident skeleton, Jon Bone Jovi, will be in the waiting area, waiting for you!

Could you guess how big this pumpkin is??

Swipe right to see who could!

Hundreds of entries and only one right guess! Congrats!! Spoiler: it was a whopping 56.4 lbs!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth at the home and garden show this weekend! Our community is truly the best!

Huge shout out to Dr.Kristine on passing boards! After graduating pediatric residency, dentists are then pediatric dentists. Only a select few choose to complete the prestigious licensure to become board certified. After a few covid-postponements, Dr. Kristine has proudly joined the club! Congrats Dr.K! We’re so happy to have you as part of our office! 🥳

Holiday celebrations with our smile SCV team. We clean up nice for a holiday dinner, and get messy for a paint 🎨 party! Such a great way to end the year, we’re excited for what 2022 will bring! 🎊

Merry Christmas from the Bermans 🎄💚

Happy birthday, Dr. Justin!

For the third year in a row, we're collecting halloween candy to send off to the troops with ! Last year we sent off almost 300 POUNDS of candy 😛⁠
⁠
How much do you think we'll send this year?⁠
⁠
If you plan to bring by your candy, we kindly ask it is *new* halloween candy. Our troops deserve to keep their teeth too!

Meet Dr. Justin Berman! Dr. Justin has a special ability to help even the most nervous children relax and enjoy their dental experience. He also makes it a priority to volunteer and educate young aspiring dentists. We are so lucky to have him as part of our team!

How much toothpaste should my child be using?

For children 3 years of age and up we recommend a "pea size" amount of fluoridated toothpaste.

Fall is in the air! The start of Autumn is followed by the fall holidays filled with sweets and treats. Swap out the sticky candies for healthier options like apples, nuts, and cheese to keep your children's teeth strong and healthy!

We always strive to make every experience special, educational and fun for our kiddos. We are so happy to hear that your little ones love coming to the dentist!

During the ages of 7 to 12, children begin losing their baby teeth and obtaining their permanent, "adult" teeth. This is a crucial time to schedule bi-annual dental visits so we can make sure the permanent teeth are erupting properly and that they are protected.

By closely monitoring the eruption of permanent teeth, we can also determine if there is a need for early orthodontic treatment. If your kiddo is starting to lose their baby teeth, contact our office so we can help them maintain proper oral health.

From poking wires to severe toothaches, children also experience dental emergencies.

If your child is in pain, you may question whether your child needs to go to the emergency room. We recommend contacting our emergency pediatric dentists for any tooth-related emergency your child may be experiencing.
