Your child's first dental visit should happen at age one. If that surprises you, you're in the majority — 69% of families don't know that.

We've been saying it for 21 years. And every year, I meet families who wish they'd known sooner.

Age one is about establishing a dental home — a place your child knows, with faces they recognize, before anything ever goes wrong. It's about building a relationship with a dentist while everything is still healthy.

We want to meet your child while habits are still forming, while the questions are just starting, and while we can build a plan together from the very beginning.

The first visit is easier than you think.

Some things don't need words. 🦷🤲

You'll just have to watch this one.

We spend a lot of time talking — about airway health, jaw development, tongue ties, sleep, and all the things that make a huge difference for your child's health. And we LOVE that part of our job. But sometimes? We just love showing up for the fun of it.

This is us. This is our team. This is the kind of place we've built here at Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics — one where the joy is real, the people are genuine, and yes, we absolutely will make a tooth out of our hands just because we can. Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi, CEO & Founder, built this practice around something simple: kids deserve a dental home that actually feels good to walk into. A place where the team is warm, a little silly, and completely in it for your family.

If your child's never had a dentist they actually looked forward to seeing — we'd love to change that. Come find your people. 🙌

When you call Children's Choice, the person on the other end of the line knows your child's name, knows our mission, and knows why we do what we do.

Some of our team works virtually. They're not in the building every day — but they're part of every family's experience. Same culture, same values, same expectations as the team who greets you at the front desk.

That means scheduling is easy. Follow-ups happen. If you need something between appointments, you're talking to someone who knows your family's history and can help — not someone reading off a script.

Because it doesn't matter whether someone is sitting in our office or working from home. If they're representing Children's Choice, they carry the same warmth and the same commitment to your family.

The warmth you feel when you walk in should be the same warmth you feel when you call.

POV: You've been watching our reels, learning all the things, nodding along… and still haven't booked your FREE orthodontic consult. 👀

We see you. And honestly? We get it. Life gets busy. You bookmark the post, tell yourself you'll do it later, and then somehow later never comes.

But here's what we want you to know — that consult? It costs you nothing. No commitment. No pressure. No "we're going to upsell you the moment you walk in." Just a real conversation about what's going on with your child's teeth, their jaw, their airway, and whether early orthodontic treatment could make a difference for them.

Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi, CEO & Founder of Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, built this practice on the idea that every family deserves answers — not just the ones who already knew to ask. The consult is free because access to good information shouldn't have a price tag.

So if this meme just called you out a little… maybe that's your sign. 😄

69% of families don't know that age one is supposed to be their child's first dental visit. We've been saying it for 21 years and it's still not getting through.

So we decided to go bigger.

We created the Age One Advantage – an event built around everything you should be thinking about in your child's first year of life.

For our first one, we brought in a child psychiatrist, a chiropractor, a physical therapist, a regenerative health specialist, and a financial advisor. Our physical therapist set up a PlayStation in the waiting room. Our chiropractor was doing infant massages.

Because if you're already walking through our door, why not walk out with a full picture of what your child needs – from oral health to development to planning for their future?

That's what the Age One Advantage is about. One visit. A whole roadmap for year one.

😄 That moment when the thought finally hits you... *maybe it's time.*

You've been quietly wondering. Maybe it's been a while. Maybe your child keeps asking. Maybe YOU keep asking. And somewhere between the scrolling and the snacking and the everyday chaos, the thought creeps in — *what if we just... did it?*

Braces aren't just about straight teeth. They're about your child breathing better, sleeping better, feeling more confident in their own skin. Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi and the Children's Choice team make the whole process feel less like a big scary decision and more like the next natural step in your child's health journey.

And here's the thing — the earlier we check in, the more options we have. We're not rushing anything. We're just making sure your child's growth is going in the healthiest direction possible.

So if that little voice in your head has been whispering *"book the appointment"* — this is your sign. 😊

Walk into most dental offices and you know exactly where you are. The smell, the lighting, the sounds. Your body tenses before anyone even calls your name.

Walk into Children's Choice and your child might not realize they're at a dentist at all.

That's by design. Every smell in our space is intentional. Every sound. Every color on the walls. We thought about what your child registers the moment they cross the threshold, and we built around that.

Because a child who feels safe in a space behaves differently than a child who feels on edge. Their shoulders drop. They explore. They engage with the team instead of pulling away from them.

By the time your child sits down in the chair, the environment has already done half the work. And that changes the entire visit for both of you.

See it for yourself. Visit us in New Carrollton or Washington, DC.

POV: You've been watching our stories for two whole years. 👀

You've seen the reels. The tips. The behind-the-scenes. The one where Dr. Anamelechi talked about tongue ties at 7am on a Tuesday.

And one day, something clicked. Maybe it was a post about your child's sleep. Maybe it was a reel about mouth breathing. Maybe you just kept seeing us show up — and slowly, it started to feel like *your* kind of place.

So you booked. 🎉

That's the thing about Children's Choice — we're not rushing anyone. We know that trust is built over time, and we're okay with that. Because when a family finally walks through our doors (or clicks that "schedule" button), they already feel at home.

If that's you — the one who's been watching from the sidelines — we see you. We're ready when you are.

A new family came in recently – an 18-year-old with some significant challenges, a long care history, and a mom who had clearly been navigating the system for years.

We talked about dental needs. But my first questions had nothing to do with teeth.

"How are you?" "Are you being taken care of?" "Do you feel like you're getting what you need to support your child?"

She looked a little caught off guard. But here's why I go there – if you're stretched to the limit, exhausted, and unsupported, your child can't get the full benefit of the care we provide. Your wellbeing is part of the equation.

She left with mental health resources alongside the dental information. Because the dental visit is just one piece of what your family needs right now.

If you're carrying a lot and could use a team that sees the whole picture, we're here.

😂 We caught it. And honestly? That's kind of our whole vibe.

This team doesn't miss a thing — not a flying phone, not a nervous first-timer, not a kid who "definitely doesn't like the dentist." We show up ready for everything, and we have a great time doing it.

Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi built Children's Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics to be the kind of place that feels nothing like what you're expecting. No cold, scary, silent waiting room energy here. Just a team that genuinely loves what they do — and yes, will absolutely catch your belongings mid-air if needed. 💛

We're accepting new patients at both our New Carrollton, MD and Washington, DC locations. If you've been looking for a pediatric dental home that actually feels like home, this is your sign.
