Families in Belmont are only about ten minutes from Purple Tooth Pediatric Dentistry & Braces in Mount Holly, and for many parents, that drive has become a regular part of keeping their kids’ smiles healthy. Whether your child is coming in for their first exam, working through a habit like thumb-sucking, or getting ready for braces, having a pediatric dental office that actually understands kids makes all the difference. Our office is designed around little patients from the ground up, including private treatment rooms, a team trained in child behavior, and a schedule that respects how much school and activities already demand of your family.
Dr. Jonathan Kaczmarski, DMD completed a full pediatric dental residency after dental school, where he trained specifically in treating children of all ages and temperaments. He has treated over 500 patients with braces, integrating orthodontic care directly into the pediatric dental setting so families can address both in one place. At Purple Tooth, we take a conservative, patient-first approach, meaning we try in-office treatment first and always explain what we are doing and why before we do it. Families throughout Belmont, Mt. Holly, and Gaston County trust us with their kids’ care, and we are proud to be a dental home for the community.
Belmont is a close-knit community, and parents there tend to put a lot of thought into who they trust with their kids’ health. The families who make the trip to our Mount Holly office typically arrive for one of a few reasons: they want a pediatric dentist rather than a general family practice, they heard about us from a neighbor, or they searched for a pediatric dentist near Belmont, NC and wanted to make sure they found someone who truly focuses on children. Our entire practice is built around kids, not adults who occasionally bring their children along.
We see children from their very first tooth all the way through their teen years, including pediatric dental services like fluoride treatments, cleanings and exams, tongue-tie release, sedation for anxious patients, and airway evaluation. We also offer orthodontics and braces in the same office, which saves Belmont families from managing two separate providers. According to the CDC’s oral health guidelines for children, establishing a dental home early and maintaining regular visits is one of the most effective ways to prevent cavities and address developmental concerns before they become bigger problems.
Purple Tooth offers a full range of pediatric dental and orthodontic services, all in a single office about ten minutes from Belmont. Parents do not have to split their kids between a pediatric dentist and a separate orthodontist, because we handle both under one roof. The services we provide include:
Every service is delivered with the same conservative, patient-first approach. We talk parents through what we are doing at each step, and we never recommend treatment unless it is genuinely in your child’s best interest.
New patients from Belmont are always welcome, and the first visit is designed to be low-pressure and informative. When you arrive, you will check in with our front desk team, and your child will be brought into one of our private treatment rooms. For younger children, this first appointment is often a “happy visit” meant to introduce them to the office, the chair, and the team before we do any actual treatment. For kids who have been to the dentist before, we move into a full exam and cleaning right away.
Dr. Kaczmarski will review your child’s dental and medical history, take any necessary X-rays, and walk you through everything he finds in plain language. If treatment is recommended, he will explain exactly what it involves and why, and you will always have time to ask questions before anything is scheduled. We are in-network with Delta Dental and accept Medicaid, so please bring your insurance card and we will handle the rest. You can learn what to expect at your visit on our patient information page, and you can book an appointment for your Belmont child directly through our online scheduler.
There are a few pediatric dental practices in and around Belmont, and parents have real options. What tends to bring families to Purple Tooth specifically is the combination of services we offer and the way we deliver them. Dr. Kaczmarski is trained in both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, which is uncommon in private practice. He has also volunteered internationally in pediatric dental care, including work in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Honduras, and has presented on pediatric restorations at international conferences. That background shapes the way he approaches every patient, including the kids who are nervous, the kids with sensory needs, and the kids who have had bad experiences at other offices.
Our office also operates with a fun, community-first personality that resonates with Belmont families. We run seasonal themes, display yard signs, and genuinely try to make dental visits something kids look forward to. That said, we are always clinically serious when it matters. If your child needs special needs dentistry, sedation, or a more complex treatment, we have the training and environment to handle it well. We invite you to schedule an appointment and see for yourself why families from Belmont keep coming back.
Dr. Jon Kaczmarski completed his pediatric dental residency with a focus on treating children of all ages and comfort levels, including those with special health care needs.

Our team brings that same thoroughness to every appointment, whether it is a routine cleaning or something more involved.
