Compassionate, Kid-Focused Care

Dr. Debbie Grant, our board-certified Sarasota pediatric dentist, is passionate about working with kids—and it shows! After discovering her love for working with young patients, Dr. Grant dedicated her career to creating a fun and caring environment where every child feels safe, understood, and cared for.  

We Speak Your Language

We know that every family is unique, which is why we proudly offer multilingual services. Whether you speak Spanish or Haitian-Creole, we’re here to make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable during their visit.

Building Healthy Smiles for Life

Our mission is to help your child develop healthy oral habits from the very start, setting them up for a lifetime of bright, confident smiles. We don’t just provide dental care—we teach families how to keep their smiles shining long after the visit is over.

To support that goal, we offer the following services:

Preventive and Routine Dental Care

Comprehensive Exams and Cleanings
Routine checkups help us monitor dental development, catch problems early, and keep teeth healthy and clean.

Fluoride Treatments
A quick and effective way to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities, especially for children at higher risk for decay.

Dental Sealants
A protective coating applied to the back molars to help prevent food and bacteria from getting stuck in hard-to-clean grooves.

Oral Cancer Screenings
Included as part of regular exams to ensure early detection of any potential concerns, even in young patients.

Restorative and Therapeutic Treatments

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Safe, mercury-free fillings that match the natural tooth color for a seamless appearance.

Pediatric Pulpotomies
Also known as baby root canals, these are used to treat infected baby teeth and preserve the tooth until it’s ready to fall out naturally.

If a tooth is severely damaged or interfering with the eruption of other teeth, we remove it with a calm, supportive approach.

Frenectomies (Tongue- and Lip-Tie Release)
Laser treatment to gently release tight tissue that may impact feeding, speech, or oral development.

Laser Dentistry
Minimally invasive treatment for soft and hard tissue procedures with reduced discomfort and faster healing times.

Orthodontic and Growth-Focused Services

Interceptive Orthodontics
Early orthodontic assessments and treatments that help guide jaw and tooth development, potentially reducing the need for braces later.

Space Maintainers
Custom appliances used to hold space open if a baby tooth is lost too early, helping adult teeth come in properly and reducing future crowding or misalignment.

Airway Dentistry
Evaluation and support for children with mouth breathing, snoring, or sleep disturbances that may be linked to jaw development or oral habits.

Whole-Child Dental Wellness

Nutritional Counseling
We offer guidance on food and beverage choices that support strong teeth and overall oral health.

Home Care Coaching
From brushing techniques to flossing tips, we help your child (and you) build healthy habits that last.
