Between school drop-off, ball practice, and a kitchen table full of homework, a child’s dental checkup is easy to push to next month, and then the month after that. If you are a Lowell parent looking for a pediatric dentist who makes that visit feel manageable for your child, you do not have to settle for an office that treats kids like small adults.
Purple Tooth Pediatric Dentistry and Braces is a short drive from Lowell in Mt Holly, and we built the whole office around children, from infants to teens. Dr. Kacz and our team handle pediatric dentistry and braces under one roof, so Lowell families can keep their kids’ care in one place instead of juggling providers.
Kids at Lowell Elementary and Holbrook Middle are in the years when regular cleanings, sealants, and early bite checks make the biggest difference. The CDC’s 2024 Oral Health Surveillance Report shows that about half of children ages 6 to 9 have had cavities in their baby or permanent teeth, which is exactly why we focus on catching small problems early.
Our exams and cleanings give us a regular look at how your child’s teeth and bite are developing, and we pair them with dental sealants to protect the back teeth where cavities like to start. We take a conservative, patient-first approach, which means we try in-office treatment first and explain every step before we take it. Younger siblings are welcome too, since infant oral health exams start as early as the first tooth and let the whole family build good habits on a similar schedule.
Many Lowell parents are surprised to learn that an orthodontic evaluation can start well before braces. Our early orthodontics visits let us watch how your child’s jaw and teeth grow, and if treatment makes sense later, the records are already there. Teens have options too, including Invisalign clear aligners and traditional braces.
Dr. Kacz trained alongside the orthodontics department during his pediatric dental residency and has treated more than 500 patients with braces. He also does braces and cleanings in the same visit, which he says can save families seven to ten trips to the office, a real difference when you are working around school and practice schedules. You can see everything we offer on our orthodontics page.
Purple Tooth covers the everyday needs of growing kids and the less common ones too. Here is a look at what our Lowell families come to us for:
If your child needs something that is not on this list, ask us. We would rather talk it through with you than send you away without an answer.
A drive to a new dentist has to be worth it, so here is what we think sets Purple Tooth apart.
Dr. Kacz completed a pediatric dental residency with advanced training in orthodontics and tongue tie release, and he has presented on pediatric restorations at international dental conferences in Mexico, El Salvador, and South Africa. He is also bilingual in English and Spanish.
Our seasonal displays and the yard signs families take home have become part of the Mt Holly landscape, and kids notice them. Our Happy Room is designed for one to three year olds, so the youngest patients get a space that was made for them.
We are in-network with Delta Dental and accept Medicaid. Our dental insurance page explains how that works, so you know where your family stands before you book.
New patients from Lowell are always welcome, and the first visit is built to be low-pressure. We never push kids into treatment before they or their families are ready, and we explain what we are doing as we go. If your child has a habit like thumb sucking, bring that up too, because we can talk through habit-breaking appliances and whether your child needs one.
Our What to Expect page walks through the visit step by step, so you and your child can both feel ready before you walk in.
Finding the right pediatric dentist is easier when the office is a place your child actually wants to return to. At Purple Tooth Pediatric Dentistry and Braces, we would love to meet your family and show you what a kid-friendly dental visit looks like.
