A Holistic Pediatric Dentist Who Puts Your Child’s Health First
At Total Care Kids, we do more than fix teeth—we help your child grow up healthy, confident, and cavity-free.
From their very first visit, our gentle, fluoride-free approach supports not just a brighter smile…
…but better sleep, breathing, and whole-body wellness. Every new patient exam is personalized to your child’s age, development, and needs—because no two kids are the same, and their care shouldn’t be either.
More Than Just Teeth: Whole-Body Wellness Begins Here
Your child’s mouth is the gateway to their overall health—and we treat it that way. At Total Care Kids, our holistic pediatric dental approach looks beyond cavities to support the way your child sleeps, breathes, speaks, and grows.
During every exam, we assess more than just teeth. We look at:
Airway health and signs of mouth breathing
Tongue and lip ties that may affect feeding, speech, or development
Oral habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrust
Facial growth and jaw development that impacts future health
This whole-body approach helps prevent problems before they start—and gives your child the best chance for a lifetime of health, not just a perfect smile.
Safe. Healthy. Designed for Growing Bodies.
At Total Care Kids, we believe what goes in your child’s mouth matters just as much as what comes out. That’s why we’ve created a pediatric dental experience that’s fluoride-free, mercury-free, and metal-free by design—because your child deserves the safest start possible.
Our biocompatible approach means:
No fluoride treatments that disrupt developing systems
No silver fillings that contain mercury
No metal restorations—only tooth-colored, body-safe materials
Low-dose digital X-rays to minimize radiation exposure
Laser treatments that are gentle and minimally invasive
We don’t just avoid toxins—we use advanced, natural solutions to strengthen teeth, support healing, and protect long-term health. It’s dentistry that supports your child’s whole body, not just their smile.
A Dental Home Where Your Child Feels Safe, Seen, and Cared For
Dental visits shouldn’t be scary or stressful. At Total Care Kids, we create a calm, caring environment where your child feels safe—and maybe even excited—to be at the dentist.
Every visit is personalized. We take time to build trust, explain things in kid-friendly ways, and respect your child’s unique pace and personality.
What you can expect:
A gentle, no-pressure experience
Custom care plans tailored to your child’s needs
A team that treats your child like family
A true partnership with you, the parent
We’re here to help your child feel confident—not just in the chair, but in their health.

What Is a Holistic Pediatric Dentist?
A holistic pediatric dentist cares for your child’s teeth with an eye on their whole-body health, not just the tooth in the chair. At Total Care Kids, that means prevention first, gentle and minimally invasive care, and fluoride-free, metal-free options chosen with how your child grows in mind.
It’s the same high-quality dentistry you’d expect for your child, with a philosophy that looks at the bigger picture: airway and jaw development, nutrition, and the materials we put in a growing body.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a holistic pediatric dentist do?
A holistic pediatric dentist provides all the usual children’s dental care, including exams, cleanings, fillings, and sealants, while also considering your child’s overall health, growth, and the materials used. The goal is healthy teeth and a healthy whole child.
How is holistic pediatric dentistry different from regular pediatric dentistry?
The clinical care is similar; the philosophy is broader. We emphasize prevention, minimally invasive treatment, biocompatible materials, and attention to airway and jaw development as your child grows.
Do you offer fluoride-free options?
Yes. We offer fluoride-free approaches to cavity prevention and can talk through the options with you at your child’s visit so you can choose what fits your family.
Do you use metal-free fillings?
Yes. We use tooth-colored, BPA-free composite and other metal-free materials designed to be a safe, natural-looking choice for growing smiles.
Is holistic pediatric dentistry evidence-based?
Our care follows established, science-based dentistry. The holistic part is the added attention to whole-body health, prevention, and material choices. We’re always happy to explain the reasoning behind any recommendation.
Do you see families outside American Fork?
Absolutely. Families travel to us from across Utah County and beyond. We’re located in American Fork, Utah, and welcome new patients of all ages.
