About Starting Point Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics

Early, phase-1 orthodontic evaluations for toddlers and young kids, timed to when teeth are actually ready, under Dr. Roth.

Starting Point is a pediatric dental practice that also offers orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, expanders, and early treatment. Reviews mention early orthodontic evaluations far more than most practices, with parents noting the office waits until a child's teeth are ready before starting treatment rather than rushing in. Dr. Roth is repeatedly described as patient and thorough, taking time to explain each step, and the practice is also noted for handling special needs and anxious kids and for accommodating patients transferring mid-treatment.

Dr Roth took such excellent care of my daughter teeth as she went through having an expander and braces. All of the staff there are so kind and supportive. So glad we chose Starting point to be her dentist from the start!

I’m so grateful for this orthodontist office. My son’s braces came off, and even though they were closed for the holiday, the doctor still came in just to help him. I truly appreciate their kindness and dedication. The staff is amazing with children, very patient, caring, and professional. This is such a wonderful place for kids’ dental care — you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!

Tried to get my son seen for his toothache. They were only willing to schedule an appointment for cleaning and evaluation. If they determine after doing x-ray that he needs treatment they would schedule a "restorative" appointment and the earliest of those available was more than a month out in late October. He is feeling pain now! Seems like every pediatric dentistry is the same these days. You have to have 2 appointments in order to get the treatment your child needs. Edit 9/26/25. Responding to the response from the establishment; There was nothing ambiguous in our 9 minute conversation. After some back and forth I asked what would happen if after evaluation it was determined that my son's tooth needed to be taken out. I was told that a restorative appointment would be needed and the earliest available was October 27th (1 month away). I told them this doesn't work for me and said goodbye. I then called Leblanc. They scheduled us for an appointment the following day. The dentist there looked at the x-ray and took the baby tooth out about 20 minutes later. No cleaning, no separate evaluation appointment. We were out of there in less than an hour.

Our routine visits are always great. The staff are always friendly, helpful, and patient. Recently, we had a visit for teeth extraction and it could not have gone better. They did an excellent job preparing my child for what would happen, ensured pain was minimal and provided distraction during the procedure. Highly recommend this practice!
