Your child’s smile is a gateway to their confidence, comfort, and overall health.
At Dimples Family Dentistry in Norwalk, IA, we specialize in creating joyful, stress-free dental experiences designed just for little ones—and the parents who want the best for them.

Starting with prevention not only helps families save money over time, but it also ensures that children feel comfortable, relaxed, and empowered about their dental care—as they develop lifelong healthy habits.
Extra Protection for Your Child’s Growing Smile in Norwalk, IA
Baby teeth may not last forever, but they play a big role in your child’s health and development. They guide permanent teeth into place, help with proper chewing, and support clear speech.
Cavities in baby teeth can cause pain, affect eating, and even interfere with how adult teeth grow in.
At Dimples Family Dentistry, we help families in Norwalk, IA and surrounding areas protect young smiles with fluoride treatments for kids and biocompatible dental sealants—two safe, painless ways to lower the risk of tooth decay and keep teeth strong.
1. Fluoride Treatments: Strengthening Teeth from the Start
Fluoride treatment is a quick, painless application of a mineral solution that helps rebuild weakened enamel and make teeth more resistant to cavities. This is especially important for children who are still perfecting their brushing habits.
When should my child get fluoride treatment?
Most children benefit from fluoride during every dental cleaning, starting as soon as their first teeth appear. This regular protection keeps smiles healthy between visits.
2. Biocompatible Dental Sealants – Invisible Shields Against Cavities
Dental sealants are a thin, protective layer placed over the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help stop food and bacteria from collecting in the grooves.
They’re invisible, long-lasting, and wear away naturally over time—so no extra appointment is needed for removal.
Are dental sealants safe for my child?
Yes. Our biocompatible sealants for children’s teeth are non-toxic, comfortable to apply, and proven to reduce cavity risk in molars by up to 80%.

Advanced Protection for Your Child’s Smile in Norwalk, IA
At Dimples Family Dentistry, preventive care is just the beginning.
We also provide specialized treatments that support every stage of your child’s dental development—ensuring healthy growth, proper alignment, and a confident smile.
Early orthodontic care focuses on identifying and correcting misalignment while your child’s jaw and teeth are still developing.
If we see signs of crowding, bite issues, or crooked teeth, we may recommend early intervention orthodontics—such as braces or other appliances—to guide teeth into a healthy position before problems become more complex.
When is the best time for my child’s first orthodontic check?
The American Association of Orthodontists suggests an evaluation by age 7, even if baby teeth are still present. Early assessment helps spot potential issues before they worsen.
Solea laser technology allows us to treat cavities and soft tissue concerns without drills, needles, or anesthesia in many cases.
This gentle, high-precision approach reduces discomfort, shortens recovery time, and often makes treatment easier for anxious kids.
Is Solea laser dentistry safe for children?
Yes. Solea laser dentistry is FDA-approved, safe for pediatric care, and ideal for children who may feel nervous about traditional dental tools.
It’s quiet, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated by most young patients.

Patient Reviews: Gentle, Trusted Dental Care for All Ages
I've been seeing Dr. Ethan Roos at Dimples Dentistry for over 5 years and have always been happy with the care I've received here. The staff has always been very welcoming, as if you are part of the family. I highly recommend!!
Called Dimples and wish I called them first. Their receptionist was SO kind and SO helpful. Even offered to call to have my records sent to them in hopes to save me some money from doing x rays again. She was nothing but sweet! Got me scheduled within 2 days. Went above and beyond and was kind when I arrived.
Dr. Roos and his staff are incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Their pricing is also extremely reasonable, even for those without insurance. We had an excellent experience with a dental emergency exam; they also had availability to fit us in for a routine exam and cleaning after the emergency exam.
