Welcome to Brush n Brace
Going to the dentist is just about cleaning your teeth, right? Wrong. At Brush n Brace, we have a different set of rules. Here, going to the dentist is about having fun. Here, we recognize that crooked smiles and bad breath can be more than social concerns; they can also be early signs of larger health issues.
THIS IS WHY WE CREATED A ONE-OF-A-KIND CONCEPT FOCUSED ONLY ON TEENAGERS BEING SEEN BY DENTAL SPECIALISTS.
Unlike general dentists, each doctor here has years of additional training and experience to meet the growing teen’s oral health, as well as their emotional, needs. Whether the issue is related to their growing body, changing social needs, or increased concerns for esthetics procedures (like orthodontics, braces, or whiter teeth) we are here to nurture the health and confidence of your growing teenager.
WE DON’T JUDGE, WE CONNECT AND COACH, AIDED BY UNIQUE ACCESS TO STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY. WE’RE SURE YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE.

Best kids dental office in town.
Germania Davis
My daughter had her wisdom teeth extracted and Dr. Mac and his nurse were phenomenal. So caring and informative. My daughter was scared in the weeks leading up to the procedure but they put her at ease and answered any questions we had. Caring and knowledgeable! Dr. Mac checked on her that evening to ensure she was recovering well!!

I love this dentist! We started at Dr J's other location when my kids were little (Scripps Pediatric Dentistry next to Trader Joe's). But when they turned 13 they moved to Dr J's office for teens. It's such a smart idea because my kids were beginning to feel like they were outgrowing the dentist office for little ones -- and now they are loving being at a teen location that caters to their age. I'm also big on friendly and helpful staff and everyone here, from the front desk to the dental assistants, are extremely friendly, polite and helpful. If you have teens, I highly recommend Brush n Brace. I love this dentist! We started at Dr J's other location when my kids were little (Scripps Pediatric Dentistry next to Trader Joe's).
