Smiles In Motion

Smiles In Motion is a highly regarded pediatric dental clinic located at 3402 Oakwood Mall Dr Ste 201, Eau Claire, WI 54701. Founded in 2008 by Dr. Amanda Spitz with the first clinic opening in Chippewa Falls in 2009, the practice has since expanded to multiple locations, including Eau Claire, Menomonie, Rice Lake, Amery, and Hudson. Smiles In Motion is dedicated to providing specialized dental care for infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special healthcare needs, focusing on creating a positive and comfortable experience for both patients and their families. The clinic's approach is centered on patient comfort and education. Their team consists of board-certified pediatric dentists who undergo an additional two to three years of specialized training beyond general dental school, focusing on the unique oral health needs of children from birth through adolescence, as well as child psychology and development. The staff is trained to communicate with children using kid-friendly terms, employing encouragement and positive reinforcement to build trust and confidence. The office environment is designed to be inviting and fun, often featuring play areas with slides, colorful exam rooms, and ceiling-mounted TVs where children can watch movies during treatment to alleviate anxiety. Smiles In Motion offers a full spectrum of pediatric dental services, including routine check-ups, cleanings, fluoride applications, sealants, cavity fillings, extractions, and emergency care. They emphasize preventative care and parental involvement in treatment decisions. The clinic is also deeply committed to community engagement, frequently sponsoring events with organizations such as the Eau Claire Children's Theatre, the Children's Museum of Eau Claire, the YMCA, and supporting groups like Girls on the Run and Big Brothers Big Sisters. They also provide dental health clinics at local daycares and elementary schools. This comprehensive approach, combining expert clinical care with a child-friendly environment and community focus, aims to foster positive attitudes towards dental health for a lifetime.
