Plunk Smiles - Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

Plunk Smiles - Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics http://www.dragansmiles.com Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics in Dallas, TX Dental attitudes are established early and generally last a lifetime.

Our office strives to provide patients and their families with premier quality dental care. Improving patients’ smiles and boosting their self-image is one of our highest concerns. Our goal is to provide our community with healthy, happy, dental patients with an excitement for dental health they’ll keep for life! Unlike most dental offices who either specialize in pediatric dentistry or orthodontics, Plunk & Dragan Smiles specializes in both! Dr. Plunk is dually trained and holds board certification in both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. Dr. Dragan is a board-certified pediatric dentist and as such specializes in the growth and development of children. This means our patients receive expert and professional care that best fits their growing smiles. Our office serves infants, children, teens and children with special needs in the Lakewood / East Dallas area.

An oldie but a goodie 👻

Things you should 👻 GHOST 👻 according to Dr. D!

🪥 Parents should help kiddos brush their teeth until they build the dexterity to do an adequate job. When they can tie their own shoes and write their name neatly by themselves...they MIGHT be ready. Ask your dentist!

🍭 Limit sugary and starchy snacks-giving these too
often can increase the risk for cavities. CHOCOLATE 🍫 is better for your teeth (it dissolves) than chewy, sticky gummies/candies that stick in the grooves and don’t leave! Encourage your kiddo to brush and floss after eating such foods!

❌ Limit juice and sugary drinks! High sugar content contributes to increased calorie consumption and risk for cavities without fiber like you’d get from fruit in whole form! Try to avoid all together until age 3 and limit thereafter!

🍼 Prolonged paci use after 12 months can increase the risk for ear infections and past 18 months can negatively influence the growth and shape of the jaws/dental arches

✨ So beyond honored (and honestly, a little in shock 😅) to be featured in 40 Under 40: Top Dentists in America!
As you can clearly tell from my photo shoot… I absolutely hated every second of it 😝. The shoot was inspired by the in NYC—a mid-century modern lover’s dream—so I was in total paradise. I may have considered sneaking a Knoll womb chair into my carry-on but managed to control myself.
This amazing honor—now in its 15th year—is based on nominations from fellow dentists and peers, which makes it even more meaningful. I’m so grateful for my mentors, my incredible team, and my friends and family who’ve supported me along the way. 💙
Most importantly, my forever inspiration will always be my mom ❤️—the one who believed in 5-year-old me when I announced I’d be the first dentist (and doctor!) in the family. She never thought it was a crazy dream… and here we are. Sometimes, all it takes is someone believing in you 💫.
My mom passed away in 2016 while I was in my residency. Although she never got to see exactly where I’d end up, it brings me so much comfort knowing she knew I had moved to Dallas, loved it here—especially East Dallas—and even visited a few times (I took her to the State Fair!). She also knew I was “talking” with Dr. Plunk as a potential future employer… who would later become the person I’d buy my practice from and continue his incredible clinical legacy.

✨It’s not just a laser, it’s a game-changer for how we complete dentistry in our office✨

Our Solea dental laser helps us provide gentle, precise care for little ones-whether we’re releasing a tongue tie or lip tie, shaping gums, or fixing a cavity without the conventional dental drill or numbing. 🤗

Curious as to how it works? Visit our website (link in our bio) to learn more about our “magic wand” and how it helps shape the way we render compassionate dentistry in our practice!

Debbie is apart of our behind-the-scenes team and helps with our billing and administrative operations. She’s the sweetest thing with the best stories and the best listening ear for how your day/week/month/year is going. We love you Debbie!
