Complete Pediatric Dental & Airway Care
Dr. Olga Dolghier provides a full spectrum of gentle and science-backed services, covering everything from a baby’s first tooth to teen orthodontics. Her care goes beyond clean teeth, focusing on healthy jaw growth and unobstructed breathing so children sleep, learn, and thrive.
Infant & Early Childhood Dental Care
Dr. Olga recommends the first dental visit by a child’s first birthday or within six months of the first tooth. Parents leave these visits with practical tips and a clear plan for home care.
Gentle exams, playful introductions, and age-appropriate brushing guidance build positive habits from day one.
Cleanings, fluoride, and sealants protect new teeth and help kids stay cavity-free.
Regular monitoring ensures jaws, teeth, and breathing pathways develop in harmony.
Tongue-Tie and Lip-Tie Release (Laser Frenectomy)
Feeding challenges, speech delays, or mouth breathing can often be traced to a tight frenulum. Dr. Olga is one of Scottsdale’s most recognized providers for laser frenectomy. Unlike traditional surgical scissors, the laser allows for a precise, gentle release of the restricted tissue:
No stitches, scalpels, or general anesthesia required.
Most babies and children return to normal feeding and function within a day or two.
less bleeding and swelling, with only topical or local anesthesia needed.
By targeting just the restricted tissue, Dr. Olga preserves surrounding areas, promoting optimal oral development.
Airway & Breathing Assessments
Snoring, restless sleep, dark under-eye circles, frequent nighttime waking, or mouth breathing aren’t just “quirks.” They are often red flags for airway obstruction.
Dr. Olga incorporates airway-focused dentistry into every visit. She looks beyond cavities and gum health to evaluate whether the jaw, tongue, and nasal passages are supporting healthy airflow.
Her airway-focused approach includes:
Safe, low-radiation tools that show jaw space, nasal passages, and airway volume.
Checking for signs of restricted tongue posture, enlarged tonsils, or habitual mouth breathing.
When needed, she works closely with ENT specialists, sleep physicians, and myofunctional therapists.
Catching issues in childhood, when small changes in jaw growth or breathing habits can prevent lifelong challenges.
Growth-Guided Orthodontics & Myofunctional Support
Not every orthodontic case requires braces right away. Dr. Olga uses growth-guided orthodontics to create space and support nasal breathing long before traditional braces might be needed.
To help children breathe correctly and keep results stable, she also provides:
Gentle Restorative & Emergency Dentistry
Kids can develop cavities or experience dental injuries even with the best prevention. She explains every step to both parent and child to ease worries and ensure comfort. Dr. Olga provides:
