January is Children’s Dental Health Month!

Good oral health is learned at an early age, and since old habits die hard, Dr. Lizzie says…why not start out with good habits! Healthy baby teeth are crucial for proper chewing, speaking and holding space for adult teeth. Cavities or problems in baby teeth can affect the development of permanent teeth and early intervention is key to maintaining oral health and avoiding serious issues later. Dr. Lizzie strongly encourages bringing your child to the dentist by age one so they can begin a journey of lifelong dental success!

After receiving her D.M.D. in 2011 from The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Lizzie completed a two-year pediatric dental residency before earning her Master’s Degree in Oral Sciences from the University of Illinois. Her philosophy is to provide a warm, inviting, creative, and educational experience to each of her patients’ families.

Dr. Lizzie and her caring team at Creative Pediatric Dentistry are dedicated to making every child feel safe, comfortable, and at ease during visits to their new office building in Teays Valley, which opened in August 2024 and is shared with O’Dell Orthodontics. This new space is inviting and thoughtfully designed for the whole family. With a gentle approach and lots of patience, Dr. Lizzie creates a positive experience for even the most nervous patients.

The team at Creative Pediatric Dentistry aspires to educate their patients to take charge of their oral health and to value the importance of a healthy smile. To learn more, visit their website at creativekidsdental.com or call 681-233-4025.
