Family Dental Care in Cary, NC
One dentist for the whole family makes life easier. At Goodall Family Dentistry, we care for patients from their first tooth through their senior years, so kids, teens, parents and grandparents can all come to one trusted office in Cary.
Busy schedules are why we see parents and children at the same time. Instead of separate trips, your family can book together and be seen side by side, often in Jojo’s Jungle Room, our kid-friendly treatment room.
Dr. Tina Goodall and our team take time to listen, explain every option and never push treatment. Whether your child is nervous, your teen has questions about braces, or a grandparent needs a new crown, we’ll make each visit calm and comfortable.

Care for every age
Dental Care for Kids
We help kids build healthy habits and actually enjoy coming to the dentist. Visits include gentle cleanings, checkups and cavity prevention such as fluoride and sealants, all in Jojo’s Jungle Room with movies and a prize at the end.
Your Child’s First Dental Visit
Bring your child in by age 1 or when the first tooth appears, whichever comes first. The first visit is short and fun: we count teeth, take a gentle look at the gums and bite, and share easy tips for brushing at home. Parents stay in the room the whole time, and many little ones sit on a parent’s lap.
Teens & Orthodontic Readiness
The teen years bring changes in the bite, wisdom teeth and new habits. We track jaw growth and tooth alignment at each checkup and let you know when it’s the right time for an orthodontic evaluation. We also help teens with braces or aligners keep their teeth clean and cavity-free.
Adults & Busy Parents
Your own care shouldn’t come last. Book your cleaning at the same time as your kids, and we’ll handle everything from fillings and crowns to cosmetic treatments in one familiar office.
Seniors
As we age, gum health, dry mouth from medications and worn teeth need closer attention. We care for seniors with thorough exams, gum care, implant restorations and replacement crowns and dentures, with plenty of time to answer questions.

Family Dentistry FAQs
Below are answers to common questions about our practice, for any further questions, please reach out to us!
At what age should my child first see the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age 1 or within six months of the first tooth. Early visits are short, gentle and help kids feel at home.
Can parents and kids be seen at the same time?
Yes. We can schedule back-to-back or simultaneous appointments, and families can even be seen together in Jojo’s Jungle Room.
What is Jojo’s Jungle Room?
Jojo’s Jungle Room is our jungle-themed treatment room made just for kids. With I Spy walls to explore, 4 TVs for favorite movies, cozy blankets and a prize at the end of every visit, kids see the dentist as an adventure instead of something scary. Parents and siblings can be seen together in the room, too – so the whole family’s checkups happen in one fun visit.
Can I stay with my child during the appointment?
Absolutely. Parents are welcome to stay with their child for the whole visit.
Do you treat seniors and patients with dentures or implants?
Yes. We care for patients of every age, including implant restorations and replacement crowns and dentures.
What if my child (or I) am anxious about the dentist?
We go slowly, explain everything, and offer comforts like TVs, blankets and nitrous oxide to help patients relax.
Do you see children with special needs?
We welcome patients of all abilities—please let us know about any needs when booking so we can plan the visit.
