Junior Smiles Pediatric dentistry is a specialized dental practice in Boca Raton, Florida, focused on providing comprehensive dental care for infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special needs. The clinic is led by Dr. Drew C. Popper, a board-certified pediatric dentist, who brings a wealth of expertise and a passion for working with children. The practice's core philosophy centers on creating a positive and stress-free experience for young patients, believing that a child's first experiences with dentistry shape their attitude toward oral health for life. The clinic's approach is designed to be child-friendly, from the physical environment to the communication style. They use a "Tell, Show, Do" technique to help children feel comfortable and involved in their own care. The team at Junior Smiles Pediatric Dentistry is trained to be gentle and patient, and they encourage questions from both children and parents. A key differentiator for the practice is that they welcome parents into the treatment room, fostering an environment of transparency and trust. Junior Smiles offers a full range of pediatric dental services, including routine check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments. They also provide more advanced procedures such as fillings, crowns, and extractions, all tailored to a child's unique needs. The practice places a strong emphasis on preventive care, educating both children and parents on proper brushing and flossing techniques and the importance of a healthy diet to prevent cavities. They also offer early orthodontic treatments and dental restorations for children. The clinic accepts most private dental insurance plans, Medicaid, and offers flexible payment options to ensure access to care.

My daughter had been going here since she was around a year old and every time we go it just gets better and better! Dr. Popper and his dental assistants are amazing and my daughter loves them! She had such a good time today at her visit and they made her few so special. She hasn’t let go of her toothbrush and floss since we left 😂 Looking forward to our next visit!

My child had a major dental emergency while traveling. We called Dr Poppers line after hours and he was so quick to get back with us that evening and get us scheduled the next morning. He and his staff were so kind and gentle. I could not recommend this office more. It’s too bad we don’t live here or he would be my child’s dentist. If I could give 100 stars I would.

Dr. Popper is an amazing pediatric dentist! He’s incredibly attentive and so gentle when caring for my kids. The office is warm, welcoming, and truly kid-friendly—with fun touches like video games in the waiting room that make visits something my kids actually look forward to. It’s also parent-friendly, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend Dr. Popper and his team!

We absolutely love Dr. Popper! From the moment we walked into his office, we felt welcomed and at ease. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so friendly and patient with little ones. He takes the time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand, making both kids and parents feel comfortable.

Dr. Popper’s warm and gentle approach made our visit stress-free, and his entire staff is just as wonderful. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and their dental health. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing pediatric dentist and wouldn’t trust anyone else with our child’s smile! Highly recommend!
