Meet Dr. Joanna, the heart and soul behind our pediatric holistic approach at Giggles ‘N Smiles.

A proud alumnus of Fordham University, Dr. Joanna commenced her journey into dentistry with a foundation rooted in excellence. After obtaining her dental degree from Columbia University, she further honed her expertise through a general practice residency at North Shore/LIJ hospital in Long Island. Driven by a passion to cater specifically to the delicate needs of children, Dr. Joanna then pursued and completed a pediatric dental residency at Temple University Hospital.

But for Dr. Joanna, education didn't stop after formal schooling. Recognizing the profound interconnection between dental health and overall wellness, she delved deep into the world of pediatric airway health. Through countless advanced courses, she acquired a wealth of knowledge on how a child's airway intricately links to sleeping patterns, breathing quality, posture, attention span, and overall health. This valuable insight has positioned Dr. Joanna as a vanguard in the world of holistic pediatric dentistry, offering solutions that encompass the complete well-being of a child.

When you entrust your child's dental care to Dr. Joanna, you're not just getting a dentist; you're getting a compassionate caregiver, an advocate for holistic health, and a dedicated professional committed to ensuring that every child enjoys the myriad benefits of optimal dental and systemic health.
