We’re wagging with excitement at Cavity Detective Pediatric Dentistry—because we have a brand-new addition to our family! Meet Chewy, named after our favorite Star Wars character Chewbacca! Chewy is our golden retriever puppy, and the fluffiest member of our dental team!


Chewy may not be picking up a toothbrush anytime soon, but he’s already teaching us a lot about care, patience, and the importance of routine—just like brushing and flossing every day!


As pediatric dental specialists, we know that building trust and making dental visits fun is essential for children. Chewy reminds us every day how gentle encouragement and consistent routines make a big difference in forming lifelong healthy habits.






Here are a few fun lessons Chewy has taught us that also apply to healthy smiles:


🦓 Consistency is Key


Puppies need daily routines—so do our teeth! Brushing twice a day, flossing, and visiting the dentist regularly are the building blocks of a healthy smile.


🐶 Positive Reinforcement Works Wonders


Just like Chewy responds to praise and treats, kids do best with encouragement and smiles. We use positive reinforcement to help children feel confident during their dental visits.







🪄 Chewing the Right Things Matters


While Chewy has a habit of chewing everything in sight (even socks!), we make sure he sticks to safe puppy toys. Similarly, we teach kids to avoid sticky candies and hard foods that can harm their teeth.


🐾 Dental Care Isn’t Just for Humans!


Did you know pets need dental care too? We’re making sure Chewy’s teeth stay healthy with special dental treats and regular vet visits. It’s a good reminder that oral health matters at every age—for every species!







Chewy may not be in the dental chair, but he’s certainly brought new energy, love, and a few chewed-up slippers into our lives. We can't wait for you to meet him in future office updates and social media stories.


From our family to yours—keep brushing, keep smiling, and don’t forget to give your pets a little love, too!
