A Podcast That Makes Dental Care Simple and Fun

Dr. Olga Dolghier loves making dental health easy and fun for parents and kids. That’s why she created the Ask the Dentist podcast, a lively show that transforms common dental and breathing concerns into simple, practical tips.

Broadcast from her home practice, Palm Valley Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in Scottsdale, the podcast gives families free and trustworthy guidance right from an experienced pediatric dentist and airway health advocate.

Why Did Dr. Olga Start the Podcast?

For years, Dr. Olga noticed she was answering the same important questions again and again in her office: When should my baby see a dentist? Is thumb-sucking really a problem? How do I know if snoring is normal? She realized that if these parents had the same concerns, countless others probably did too.
The Ask the Dentist podcast was born out of her desire to reach more families than she could in the clinic alone. Her goal is to empower parents everywhere with the tools and confidence to help their children grow up with strong, cavity-free smiles and healthy habits that last a lifetime.
By sharing her knowledge with a wider audience, Dr. Olga hopes to:
  • Educate parents early about pediatric dental hygiene before problems begin
  • Encourage healthy habits from the start, making brushing and oral care fun instead of stressful
  • Raise awareness about airway health, so kids don’t just grow up with straight teeth but also with healthy breathing and restful sleep

Why Parents and Kids Tune In

Every episode is built around real questions Dr. Olga hears in her office and from listeners online. Short, upbeat episodes (usually 10–20 minutes) fit into busy schedules, if you are driving to school or winding down before bedtime.

  • Infant care advice, teething comfort, first-tooth brushing, pacifier and thumb-sucking guidance
  • Airway and breathing insights, how to recognize mouth breathing, snoring, or sleep-disordered breathing early
  • Orthodontic know-how, when to schedule growth checks, what early treatment looks like
  • Everyday tips, turning brushing and flossing into quick, kid-approved routines

Popular Dental Health Topics Parents Love

Each episode blends science with storytelling, so even children enjoy listening. Listeners often start with these fan favorites:

  • “The First Tooth Milestone”,  what to expect and how to make that first visit stress-free
  • “Breathing Better, Sleeping Better”,  identifying airway obstruction signs before they affect school performance
  • “Tongue-Tie Truths”, separating myths from facts about laser frenectomy
  • “Orthodontics 101”, when kids may really need braces and how early monitoring helps
