DFWChild Mom Approved Limited Edition 2025

Mom Approved. Patient Loved.

From early checkups to personalized dental plans, Dallas moms are choosing Central Dentist for one simple reason: peace of mind. With three renowned doctors - Dr. Jill Ombrello, Dr. Sahil Sawani, and Dr. Elizabeth Alejandrezat the helm, Central Dentist is redefining dental care with compassion, innovation, and whole-health expertise.

At Central Dentist, we believe your family deserves more than rushed appointments and one-size-fits-all care. Our team is redefining dentistry with a whole-health approach that looks beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of dental issues - because your child’s oral health affects their total well-being.

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice the difference. Six digital scanners, AI-powered tools, and state-of-the-art diagnostics help us deliver precise, efficient, and minimally invasive care. But what truly sets us apart is how we make every patient - young or old - feel safe, supported, and cared for like family.

Here’s what one local mom had to say:

“I wanted to share some positive feedback about our recent visit to Central Dentist. My daughter had a quick and easy check-up with Shelby and Dr. A regarding the health of one of her molars. Shelby was wonderful with my daughter and easily connected with her. She also took care of scheduling our next appointment. It was our first time meeting Dr. A, and she gave us a helpful suggestion to add to my daughter’s routine to continue remineralizing her tooth. We’ve been so grateful for the guidance Dr. Ombrello and her team have provided over the past couple of months in addressing her ‘sticky’ tooth. We are definitely seeing improvement and, as always, we are very happy with the excellent care we receive at Central Dentist.”

Moms love that Central Dentist doesn’t just “fix teeth” - they look at the whole picture. Root-cause health, biohacking-inspired care, and advanced diagnostics mean families get forward-thinking dentistry that supports long-term wellness, not just short-term fixes.

With over $250,000 in donated care and a practice built on generations of service, Central Dentist isn’t just another clinic - it’s a destination. And with flexible scheduling, a compassionate team, and a calming, kid-friendly space, it’s no wonder so many moms say Central Dentist is their forever dental home.

EING A MOM, working as a parenting editor has its perks. My kids are often the inspiration for story ideas, which means I get to speak to experts about whatever happens to be going on with them…you know, for research. Dallas–Fort Worth is home to an incredible network of medical experts and child specialists, offering top-notch care and guidance right here in our backyard. Getting to pick those pros’ brains? Yeah, that’s a plus.

Then again, there are times when nothing replaces the wisdom of a mom who’s been there. Other moms speak the same language: the shorthand of sleepless nights, toddler meltdowns and that strange mixture of pride and panic when your kid tries something new. They can offer real-life hacks that work in the chaos of everyday life, not just in theory. And you can trust their advice because they’re living it too.

This magazine, our first-ever Mom Approved Limited Edition, combines the best of those resources. In these pages you’ll find hundreds of experts, professionals and specialists across Dallas-Fort Worth to help you and your child thrive—from dentists and orthodontists, pediatricians and pediatric specialists, to OB-GYNs, midwives, therapists, chiropractors, counselors, nutritionists and so much more. And the best part—they’ve all earned the stamp of approval from another mom, someone living the life just like you.

But what does it really mean to be Mom Approved? Here’s how the process works: Every year, we send out a survey asking moms (and dads, grandparents and guardians) to nominate their favorite practitioners and professionals; someone they’d trust enough to recommend to another parent. To keep everyone honest, we do not consider nominations from coworkers or family members—just moms like you who are purely motivated to brag on healthcare practitioners who’ve made a difference in their lives. Before these pros reach our final cut, though, we comb through the details to ensure everything’s above board. Everyone you see here has valid licensing and no record of disciplinary action.

Because at the end of the day, we all want the same thing—to know our kids are in good hands. And with this guide, you can feel confident you’re turning to the very people other moms trust most.

CURRENTLY PREGNANT ?

Jairo Montoya, DDS

Pediatric Dentistry

Congratulations on your growing family! At Aviator Pediatric Dentistry, we’re honored to support you during this exciting journey. We understand that your baby’s health and development are your top priorities— and they’re ours too.

AIRWAY-FOCUSED

Our practice is uniquely airway-focused, which means we look beyond just teeth to assess how your child breathes, sleeps, feeds, and thrives. The structure and function of the mouth, tongue, and airway play a vital role in overall wellness from day one. That’s why we offer comprehensive infant evaluations and early interventions when needed.

FRENECTOMY

One important procedure we perform is a frenectomy—a safe and precise release of restrictive oral tissues such

as lip-ties and tongue-ties. These restrictions, also called tethered oral tissues (TOTs), can affect your baby’s ability to breastfeed or bottle-feed effectively, and may lead to colic, poor weight gain, gas, reflux, or maternal nipple pain during nursing. Left untreated, these ties can also impact speech, oral development, breathing, and sleep as your child grows.

We collaborate closely with lactation consultants, myofunctional therapists, bodyworkers, and pediatric specialists to ensure each family receives personalized care and support. If a frenectomy is needed, we use gentle laser technology for minimal discomfort and faster healing.

WHOLE CHILD APPROACH

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to understanding your

child as a whole, not just their teeth. We believe in early detection, prevention, and intervention to set the foundation for healthy oral and airway development, long before the first tooth erupts.

From the moment your baby is born, the shape of their mouth and the way they use it can influence everything from how they latch, to how they sleep, to how their jaw and airway form. At Aviator Pediatric Dentistry, we are here to guide you every step of the way— with knowledge, compassion, and a focus on long-term health.

We invite you to schedule a newborn or infant evaluation if you have any concerns or simply want peace of mind. Together, we can ensure your baby gets the healthiest start possible.

8x Mom Approved

At Children’s Dental Centre, our team is the secret sauce. They’re the reason parents tell us things like, “My child couldn’t wait to come in today!” And that’s the highlight of our practice.

Here, each staff member is not just skilled, but also kind and caring. We have a genuine desire to help families and create a positive experience for every kid who walks through our doors. Through kindness, patience and intentional care, we ensure each visit is tailored to a child’s unique needs.

Our team is more than oral health care providers—we’re patient advocates and educators for children and families. Our commitment to staying current in our field ensures we provide high-quality care with the latest advancements in dentistry.

From our kid-friendly environment to personalized treatment plans, we go above and beyond to make every visit enjoyable. We aim to educate, empower and uplift—ensuring each child leaves with a brighter smile and a happier heart.

What sets us apart? We focus on the details. From the first phone call to checkout, we work to create a smooth and seamless experience. We are always refining our systems and investing in training to enhance clinical knowledge, technology and workflows. We aim to make every appointment as efficient as possible for our families.

Families describe their visits as easy and educational—just the way we designed them to be. And knowing we’ve made a positive impact makes us smile, too.

Dr. Reena Kuba, board certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, is a native Dallas-ite. She received her Bachelor of Science from the University of Texas at Dallas and Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Baylor College of Dentistry. Continuing at Baylor, Dr. Kuba completed her certification in pediatric dentistry, in addition to a Master of Science in oral biology.

In addition to teaching, Dr. Kuba serves as a consultant to the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners and the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

Beyond pediatric dentistry, Dr. Kuba enjoys traveling and learning about other cultures, which is why she chose a “world” theme for the office. She loves baking, practicing yoga, and reading. Above all, she loves spending time with her husband and two children.

Frisco Feeding & Speech Therapy

Occupational & Speech Therapies

4x Mom Approved

We’re thrilled to share that 24 of our therapists at Frisco Feeding & Speech Therapy have been named “Mom Approved” Wellness Professionals by DFWChild readers. This is a huge honor, and we’re incredibly grateful to the families who took the time to nominate us.

At Frisco Feeding & Speech Therapy, we provide speech, feeding, occupational therapy, and lactation counseling with a family-centered, collaborative approach. We partner with parents to provide education and support, helping them feel confident, informed, and empowered throughout their journey.

Our team includes highly specialized therapists, including dual-certified speech-language pathologists who are also certified lactation consultants (CLC or IBCLC). This expertise allows us to treat complex infant feeding and swallowing issues. We work to improve latch to breast or bottle, evaluate tethered oral tissues, help establish milk supply, and guide parents through the challenges of feeding, creating a positive, stress-free mealtime experience.

Our services extend far beyond infancy, whether it’s helping a toddler explore new foods, improving a child’s ability to communicate, or building the skills needed to meet developmental milestones, we focus on making meaningful progress in daily life.
