Brandi O.

great overall experience

Took my 18 month old son and great overall experience. We walked in with welcome sign and very clean and baby friendly environment. Dr. Ambrose was great! Very caring, creative and full of energy and enthusiasm. Fellow parents looking for a place to get teeth cleaning/ basic check up for your baby/toddler/child, this is the place especially if you live the Howard County/ Baltimore County area.

Dental Care for Kids, All in One Place

Preventive Care

Cleanings, exams, fluoride, sealants. The basics, done calmly and without rushing. We focus on catching small things early and showing kids what’s happening as we go, so nothing feels like a surprise.

Non-Invasive Dentistry

When something needs attention, we start with the least aggressive option. That might mean monitoring, reinforcing home habits, or using techniques that avoid drills when possible. Slower, gentler, and often easier on kids who are still building trust.

Dental Emergency Services

Toothaches, chipped teeth, playground accidents. These moments never happen on schedule. We make room for emergencies and focus on relief first, then next steps, keeping parents in the loop the whole time.

Special Needs Dentistry

Some kids need extra time, a quieter room, or a different pace altogether. We adjust appointments, communication, and expectations so visits feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
