Dr. Kindell, born and raised in Okeechobee, FL attended the University of Florida after high school where she received her Bachelor of Science and continued on to receive her Doctor of Dental Medicine.
Her pure love of both dentistry and children gave her the inspiration and passion to pursue her specialty in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Florida.
Dr. Kindell and her husband, Eric, stay busy raising their two energetic boys.
The Kindell family resides on a large span of property where they are preparing to be the next Noah's Ark! Dr. Kindell has two dogs, three cats and would love to add a blue whale in the backyard, a few alligators keeping in the Everglades Pediatric Dentistry theme, and even a sloth!
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommend that your child visit the dentist by his/her first birthday or 6 months after the eruption of their 1st tooth.
When the child is seen at one year, the first visit can be enjoyable and positive!
Emphasis is on the developmental assessment of the child's oral health and establish methods of good dental habits.
Caries (tooth decay) or developmental disturbances can be managed early.
Some children are given nitrous oxide/oxygen, or what you may know as laughing gas, to relax them for their dental treatment.
Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a blend of two gases, oxygen and nitrous oxide.
Nitrous oxide/oxygen is given through a small breathing mask which is placed over the child's nose, allowing them to relax, but without putting them to sleep.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recognizes this technique as a very safe, effective technique to use for treating children's dental needs.
