Good oral health during the school year starts with strong daily routines. From the moment kids wake up to the time they pack their backpacks, healthy dental habits help them stay focused, confident, and cavity-free in class.
Daily exposure to fluoride—from toothpaste, drinking water, or in-office treatments—can help harden enamel and fight early signs of decay. For added defense, consider sealants for your child’s molars. These invisible shields protect hard-to-reach grooves where food and plaque love to hide.
Brushing for two minutes, twice a day, should be non-negotiable—just like getting dressed or doing homework. Encourage your kids and teens to use a fluoride toothpaste and soft-bristled toothbrush. Add flossing to the evening routine to remove hidden particles and keep gum tissue healthy.
Avoid snacks high in sugar or starch that can cling to teeth. Instead, offer options like baby carrots, string cheese, unsweetened applesauce, or yogurt. Water is the best drink choice, especially if your child carries a refillable bottle throughout the day. Crunchy fruits and veggies even help clean teeth naturally between meals!
When smart routines become second nature, healthy smiles follow. Book your child’s checkup at North Oaks Dental today to reinforce these habits and give them a confident, cavity-free year ahead! Call us at 248-712-1522 (Royal Oak) or 248-963-1969 (New Hudson) or 586-685-7937 (Sterling Heights) for an appointment. You can also schedule online.
I had a fantastic experience at my recent dental appointment. Reagan, the assistant, was excellent with my X-rays, making the process quick and comfortable. Gina did a thorough and gentle job with my cleaning, ensuring I felt at ease the entire time. Both were friendly, professional, and made my visit smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend their care!
My hygienist, Gina, did an amazing job she was very gentle and professional and I would definitely recommend coming to her, and Reagan did an amazing job helping step by step very sweet and professional!
Had a deep cleaning here after being away from the dentist for a few years. Gina did an excellent job cleaning my teeth and getting them back to good health, all with a really gentle touch. Reagan was also a huge help in getting me set up for future appointments to get me back on track. Very friendly and positive vibes all around.
I used to hate dentist appointments, but I don’t mind coming here at all. Malayna and Daleana were friendly, easy to talk to, and made the visit quick and painless.
Update!!!!: Two years later and they are still the only people to work on my smile. Susie has been my Hygentist the entire time and I appreciate her since of humor and attention to detail. Even the billing people are pleasant.😅 This is not a fly by night operation and worth every penny! Awesome Awesome. They throughly explained what was going with my mouth. Patient Friendly staff! Even gave me a free gift as I left. Dr. Daboul, Nichol, Tammy , Ashley and the rest were all great to work with.
Today, I had my first time visit with North Oaks Dental. They’re very friendly and I felt comfortable. Daleana is such an amazing and caring hygienist. She wants the best dental care for everyone in her chair!!! When you book at North Oaks as for Daleana 😁
Malayna (assistant) and Gina (hygienist) were wonderful. They made me son feel very comfortable with his cleaning and even the questions that we had. Awesome service!
I just left North Oaks dental and orthodontics. Reagan, Gina and Malayna were so so nice!!!! I would ten out of ten recommend them and this office for you are your family. I am definitely going back!!!
Daleana was amazing!
Daleana and Reagan were both fantastic! Very kind and very informative about what is going on with my dental health. You can tell they love their job and it shows with how they treat their patients! Thanks again guys!!!
The only thing better than Gina, Reagan, and dr. Karmo are the north oaks dental chapsticks they give you. The front desk staff as a whole are awesome too!
I have replaced my top teeth with implants..Dr Dabaul and his assistant have always been very professional and knowledgeable. I have always felt I was in a very competent environment. Every procedure was explained in detail to me. Being a senior I feel this procedure is superior to any other artificial appliance. I started out with a bridge that never was comfortable. In fact, it was at times rubbing my gums.and constantly painful..I am so excited to get the final implant of front teeth. Dr Dabaul is excellent and very competent oral surgeon. I only wish I had done this years ago.
They have a Very professional staff that went out of their way to comfort me during my procedure that was urgent. They also made sure to get me in as soon as they could.
Had 6 on 6 done. They did a great job. They have been there for me every step of the way. Rana was a huge help and has helped thru the entire process. Best quality and knowledgeable staff. All the best technology . The Dr is the best your going to get. Life changing to say the least!
"Always a pleasant experience! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. The office is clean, modern, and well-organized. I appreciate the clear explanations, gentle care, and personalized attention. North Oaks Dental truly prioritizes patient comfort and satisfaction. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch dental care in Royal Oak! Rating: 5/5 stars Will I return? Absolutely!

Thank you the team at North oaks for taking good care of my teeth Gina, Malayna, and Reagan. Such an awesome team you have!!!!!
The staff and dentists are amazing! I called with a dental emergency and I was seen the same day. I had no wait time and they were very helpful. Love this office!!
North Oaks Dental is definitely one stop shop for all the dental needs. Whether it’s annual dental maintenance, cleaning, extraction, or orthodontics, they got you covered. Excellent dental professionals with transparent reasonable cost with a convenient location, just could not think of a better place that has all the check marks. I had the pleasure to work with Dr Kammo and Kara for my orthodontics needs. ( then with Dr Luca) had a great time experience. With excessive crowding I had previous consults of various orthodontists. All were before even start anything they recommended to extract all for pre molars. On the other hand Dr Kammo, took the original approach. Set the braces first and monitor the movement and make the decision on what extractions to be done. This resulted in only removing two of the premolars. Not only he was extremely knowledgeable and able to correctly assess the right course of action. Kara did a fantastic job following up on the appointments and adjusting the braces and other items. And of course shout out to my hygienist and as well as the front desk admin for being extremely flexible with my schedule and last minute changes. If you are in need for a any dental needs around Royal Oak, Berkeley, Southfield, Beverley hills and Birmingham this is the place to be
Such a friendly office! Reagan was so sweet while she took my X-rays and made me feel very comfortable. Gina gave me the most thorough cleaning I’ve ever gotten and made my teeth feel squeaky clean!

I've been coming to North Oaks since before it was North Oaks Dental. I have been a faithful patient for 14 years. Today Daleana did my deep cleaning and her professionalism is off the charts! What a joy to work with and an awesome person! I would be the first to recommend her for your dental hygiene needs at North Oaks. Dr. Daboul has been my Dr. for over 14 years. He and his team have nursed my teeth back to strong health and would recommend North Oaks to everyone! ROCK THAT!!!
Even though I hate going to the dentist 🦷 I always leave feeling so much better. The staff is amazing and they do excellent work on your teeth. I would highly recommend!!!!

Wow, I can't say enough GREAT things about this dental practice. Dr. Karmo, the assistants, billing staff everyone is super nice. I had an emergency cracked front tooth today. They were able to see me and fix some day. I'm so appreciative of fitting me in on a Saturday and getting me on my way. Been going here for years. I would highly recommend this practice. Absolutely fabulous folks all around!!
Just moved to Royal Oak and needed a new dentist, chose here based on reviews!! Lovely atmosphere, and while I can't say I love going for teeth cleanings, Gina made it as painless and easy as it's ever been before in my life!!! She and everyone are super kind, and take good care of our teeth. Everyone is also upfront about insurance and pricing, no surprises. Definitely recommend!!
Susie Karpowicz and her assistant Kenia. Did a great job taking care of me and offering me solutions that will help my healthcare, great job!

Best dentist and staff. They go the extra mile for you. I usually get very nervous not here. They make me feel comfortable and calm. Can't thank them enough. Beautiful smile.
Great office! Very friendly and professional and gave a lot of great details into the health of my teeth and their recommendations. Super happy to have found them!

I had an amazing experience during my visit. The hygienist Gina made me feel very comfortable and made me laugh during my cleaning. Dr. Karmo was very professional and nice as well. I can’t wait for my next cleaning at this office!
It was the best cleaning I have had all year
The dentist I wish I had when I was little. Amazing staff - solid communicators, easy to connect and chat with, make scheduling a breeze. I brought my son (3) for his first appointment and he was immediately comfortable with the staff and not scared at all. Environment - clean and open concept which makes me feel comfortable and confident going in. Dentist was great. Worked on my cavities super quickly and filed down my front tooth from a chip. Christine (orChristina) helped me and was awesome. She set me up for what to expect with numbing and how long it lasts. And shared her personal story of chipping a tooth lol. Highly recommend this spot! They’re doing it right.
Wonderful job! I went in for an emergency and they saw me quickly. They were very caring and explained everything as it was happening. I felt well taken care of
Staff is incredibly sweet. And they are willing to work with you on payment plans/discounts based on your situation. Highly recommend this place. One of the best experiences I've ever had at a dentist.
Haven't been to the dentist since I was a young fella and was a little nervous about what to expect (literally 10+ years). I have never been more comfortable meeting new people in my life. The entire staff here is super friendly, and all have a very easy going personality to them that didn't come off as generic or forced. They answered all of my questions, made sure I was comfortable, and even put together a plan for me to repair my teeth. I met quite a few people so I can't name everyone but I did have my teeth cleaned by Gina who was amazing and super awesome to work with! I plan to continue coming to this office long term and recommend to give them a try, especially if you feel nervous about anything.
Wonderful service. They were able to accommodate us when others could not. They were able to make it happen. The staff were friendly and professional.
I always receive top tier service at North Oaks! Stopped in for a cleaning and a filling this week, my hygienist Gina and Dr. Hotait did an amazing job.
Dentist has always been my least favorite place to go. However, the staff here are so nice. They are very informative. Make you feel welcomed. They take really good care of your teeth, and are very thorough.
So fortunate I started going here...so professional...so nice...every single person...my dental health has improved expedentially since going here
Saw me quickly for my visit, and scheduling a follow up for my procedure was a breeze.
Very professional staff!
Every visit is a great experience with Dr. Nawar Karmo and his team. I always receive the best care!
