Why NoPo Kids and a Whole Body Approach is Different…

At NoPo Kids Dentistry, we believe in whole body health and know that the health of our children’s mouths directly impacts their systemic well-being!

We focus on providing exceptional dental services centered around functional and holistic practices and offer services and an experience unlike no other, with a main focus on the emotional health of the child and the family. What makes us different:

The Doctors and Team Members at NoPo Kids have additional trainings in sleep and airway health, functional nutrition, myofunctional therapy, behavioral management, laser proficiency, tongue-tie procedures and TOT’s, oral microbiome support, and ozone therapy.

Functional and Holistic Dentistry

As a holistic dentist and a member of the Holistic Dental Association, Doctor Staci thinks about your child’s body as a whole and not just your child’s teeth and mouth.

Ozone Therapy

We are fortunate to be among a few dental practices in the country trained use ozone in treatment. Ozone has been used in healthcare throughout Europe and South America for years.

Infant and Child Frenectomy Procedures

A frenectomy is a procedure used to correct a congenital condition in which the lingual (tongue) or labial (upper lip) frenulum is too tight, causing restrictions...

Oral Hygiene & Nutritional Counseling

Doctor Staci’s favorite phrase is “Eat A Rainbow!” It’s an easy way to teach kids that foods that are vibrant and colorful are healthier for us.

Esthetic Crown Options

Deeper cavities that extend into the nerve of a tooth often need full coverage crowns to protect them from breaking and leakage.

Growth and Development Assessment

Every time your child see Doctor Staci and the team at NoPo Kids Dentistry, she completes an thorough assessment of their growth and development.

Our mission at NoPo Kids Dentistry is to create a super fun, positive, and happy dental experience all while providing a whole-body and holistic approach to your child’s dental needs.

First Visit to NoPo Kids Dentistry, Ideally by Age ONE!

At NoPo Kids Dentistry, Doctor Staci, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), recommend to establish a "Dental Home" for your child by around one year of age. Children who have a dental home at younger ages are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care, as well they are more likely to avoid future dental issues and disease. They also learn early to love the dentist and are less apt to have fear and phobias with coming to see us. Learn More

What is Functional and Holistic Dentistry?

As a holistic dentist and a member of the Holistic Dental Association, Doctor Staci thinks about your child’s body as a whole and not just your child’s teeth and mouth. We thoroughly examine and discuss how one part of the human body can affect another part and talk a lot about how we are an interconnected system...not just a bunch of separate body parts. Learn More

Patient Testimonials

Excellent staff and service. Both our boys were super nervous about getting their teeth cleaned. The folks here did everything they could to make our boys' experiences fun and as worry-free as possible. All of the chairs have a fun pillow pet stuffed animal and also a TV on the ceiling with kids movies on it.

We had our first appointment this morning with Dr. Staci for our 2-year old. We were so impressed with this office! They were welcoming and had great toys to play with while we waited (which wasn't long). The dentist and assistant were great at helping our little guy feel comfortable and gave us great tips for healthy teeth! We'll definitely be telling our friends with little ones about this office.

- Abby O.

Everyone was so kind, efficient, and amazing! I was definitely nervous for my son and that was wiped away the second we walked in the door. Great experience. He can't wait to go back to the "tooth doctor."
