Cancelled the morning huddle. Replaced it with a championship parade. 🏀😂

We had such a wonderful time connecting with families in our community at the fair! 🦷✨

💗 Meet Silenys! 💗

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be part of your child’s smile journey here at First Smiles Pediatric Dentistry! 🦷✨ As a Dental Hygienist, my goal is to help every child and family feel comfortable, welcomed, and cared for from the moment they walk through our doors.

I’m friendly, caring, and detail-oriented, and I absolutely love helping children build confidence at the dentist. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is turning nervous patients into smiling ones! 😊 I enjoy teaching kids all about healthy habits, brushing, flossing, and how to keep their smiles sparkling bright. If your child leaves excited to brush their teeth, I’ve done my job! 🪥🌟

When I’m not at the office, I love spending time with my family and friends, trying new restaurants with my fiancé, exploring new places, planning fun adventures, and celebrating life’s special moments. 💍💕 You’ll usually find me with a smile on my face and ready for the next adventure!

I can’t wait to meet you and help make every dental visit a positive, fun, and happy experience. See you soon! 💙🦷✨

Meet Monica!

I’m a proud mom of two amazing girls who keep me busy and bring so much joy to my life. When I’m not at the office, I love spending time with my family, making memories, and enjoying all the fun that comes with raising my girls.
If you’ve met me, you know I enjoy creating a welcoming and positive experience for every family that walks through our doors. Whether it’s answering questions, scheduling appointments, or sharing a laugh, I love helping our patients feel right at home. 😄

What I love most about First Smiles is the family atmosphere and being part of a team that truly cares about our patients and each other. I look forward to getting to know all of our wonderful families and seeing your little ones smile! 🦷✨💜

Hi, I’m Karla! I’ve been a dental assistant for almost 3 years and truly enjoy helping patients feel comfortable, cared for, and confident in their smiles. Building connections with patients and being part of their dental journey is one of my favorite parts of what I do.

When I’m not at the office, you can find me shopping, traveling, taking hot Pilates classes, going to concerts, and spending quality time with friends and family. I love making the most of every moment and creating new memories along the way! I’m excited to continue growing in the field I love and helping patients smile with confidence! 💗✨🦷

Meet Andrea! 🤍
I’ve been a dental assistant for 4 years and love building relationships with our patients while helping them achieve healthy, confident smiles.

When I’m not at the office, you’ll usually find me at a pilates class, out for a run, enjoying an iced coffee, planning my next trip, or shopping with friends. I love staying active, exploring new places, and making the most of every day! 💙☕️🧘🏻‍♀️
