  • Children aged 2-6 should brush their teeth twice a day with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. For children 6 and older, a slightly larger amount can be used. It's important to supervise your child's brushing until you are confident they can do it well on their own, typically around age 8. Regular brushing is an integral part of maintaining oral health, and at Total Health Dental Care, Dr. Anisha Uppal and her team can provide more personalized guidance during your child's visit.

  • I had a wonderful experience! I was very nervous because it was a new dental office for me after 10 years. But let me tell you from the receptionist to the hygienist to the dentist I give all of them a 10/10. They all gave me a warm welcome and made me feel very comfortable. I will be returning. Thank you all again!

  • If every doctor’s office could be like this, we would all be begging to get appointments. The shear level of hospitality, warmth and welcomeness that Total Health Dental Care provides is unrivaled. I have never uttered the phrase “I can’t wait to see the dentist again!” until now.

  • Total Health Dental was such a great experience. I was feeling really nervous because it had been a couple years since I saw a dentist. Not only did the team make me feel right at home, they made the process quick, concise and overall pleasant. I met with the dentist virtually and he answered all my questions. I left booked for my first cleaning and I am feeling good. Thank you, Total Health Dentist Care!

  • I absolutely love this place. I am a big baby when it comes to anything dentist related and this is literally the greatest dental office I have ever stepped foot in (and I have been to many, many dentists, trust me). The doctors are all top notch and experts in their fields and you can tell they know what they're doing. They explain options clearly and are very upfront about pricing. I actually look forward to my many appointments!!!
