Your child's teeth need regular checkups every six months, and not just to keep them clean. When cavities go untreated, they can affect how your child eats, sleeps, learns, and feels confident enough to smile.

We know getting to multiple appointments can be hard, which is why our pediatric dental team works in the same building as medical care, behavioral health, and WIC. You can bring your child in for dental care and handle other health needs in one visit.

We serve all patients regardless of their ability to pay because every child deserves healthy teeth and a healthy future. Call (816) 474.4920 or visit https://bit.ly/4nxPWMj to request your appointment today.

The US Office on Women’s Health highlights Black celebrity moms who breastfeed for a reason.

Because representation changes norms.

When people see breastfeeding modeled by women who look like them
it stops feeling rare
it stops feeling questionable
it starts feeling possible.

For generations, Black women have faced
less support
more scrutiny
and fewer visible examples of breastfeeding being protected and celebrated.

So when public figures like Serena Williams, Beyoncé, Gabrielle Union, and Keke Palmer share their breastfeeding journeys
they aren’t oversharing.
They’re shifting the narrative.
They’re showing that breastfeeding belongs everywhere
in every body
in every community.
Normalize it by showing it.

Visibility is support
and support changes outcomes 🤱

🤱 Drop this if you breastfed longer than anyone expected you to
or longer than you expected
Your story matters.

At birth, your baby’s stomach is tiny—it can only hold about a teaspoon of milk. By day 3, it holds just 4–5 teaspoons. That makes the amounts of colostrum and milk your body produces a perfect fit.

It also means that unnecessary supplements can fill a baby’s stomach quickly. That makes them less likely to feed at the breast—which signals your body to make less milk.

It’s a cycle that can lead to low milk supply and breastfeeding problems—often before parents even realize what’s happening.

At Baby-Friendly USA–designated facilities, breastfed babies are not given food or fluids other than human milk unless there is a medical need or parental request. This protects milk supply and supports parents’ feeding goals—right from the start.
