It is important to offer children a specialized for me tailored approach to dental care. There are many reasons why this is crucial, beyond the behavioral approach: for me, its about making kids smile while also finding and addressing problems before they manifest into worse issues.
It is important to address a patients clinical needs and their emotional wellbeing. By making those the top priorities, I make visits more comfortable, decreasing a childs anxiety and building trust. In this, I am able to turn even the most apprehensive child into a fan of visiting the dentist!
These organizations offer a wide range of advanced educational opportunities, including meetings, lectures, and seminars. They also provide numerous publications and journals addressing the latest research, newest technologies, and changes in treatment protocols.
Dr. Mujica recently returned from a dental mission trip with Heart for Africas Project Canaan, where she treated over 260 orphans. Closer to home, she has also participated in rural outreach dentistry in Virginia, caring for underserved individuals.
When Dr. Mujicas not in the office, shes most often found with her husband Ethan, their daughter, Charlotte, and their extended family. She enjoys diverse food, travel, and culture, and is always happy to share stories of her adventures and early life in Peru.
While in high school and college, I began working as a childrens fitness instructor at the YMCA. It was that experience that I realized I enjoyed working with children and the importance of encouraging healthy habits in youth.
My primary goal is to create a comfortable, enjoyable, and trusting dental environment for children and parents. I take pride in creating a positive experience and laying a good foundation of oral health knowledge for my families!
I can remember two moments in my life. The moment I choose to become a dentist, and then the moment I choose pediatric dentistry as a career. Fun. Fact: I originally wanted to be a Veterinarian (because I love animals!), but over time but excitement for it withered. It wasnt until I introduced to dentistry that the sparks flew.
Since I decided to devote my life to children, I have never been happier. Working with children has always been a fun experience, and I have never felt more connected to something so much as I have been with children and dentistry. Combining those two for me has been a magical experience that has brought my life so much joy.
I feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with children, in particular children with special health care needs. I look forward to creating a loving environment where children can develop and maintain healthy smiles that will transition into adulthood.
Dr. Wiggins had the opportunity to complete mission work. Her most recent dental mission trip was with the VCU Jamaica Project, where she had the opportunity to provide comprehensive and emergency treatment to both adults and children in need.
Originally from Hawaii, Dr. Wiggins has resided in North Carolina for most of her life until recently. She relocated back to Charlotte, North Carolina, after she completed her residency in pediatric dentistry.
When Dr. Wiggins is not in the office, she spends most of her time with her friends and family. She enjoys traveling and working out. She loves to share childhood stories and to connect with her patients.
Throughout college, I was a member of two mentoring programs; Jewels Inc. and Young Ladies of Tomorrow in which I was able to work with children and young girls in the Washington Metropolitan area. Being able to watch my mentees matriculate through school and see growth in their personal lives really resonated to me the importance and advantage of early intervention especially for children. This is where my passion for working with children began.
In dental school, I was able to participate in different programs geared to working with children. My favorite experience was participating as lead coordinator for Lessons In A Lunchbox, an oral health awareness program that serviced over 100 kids at Cleveland Elementary School. I was also able to serve as co-coordinator and group leader for H.O.P.E Yes!; a health science enrichment program geared towards minority children. These unique experiences solidified my interest in pediatric dentistry.
My primary goal is to create a healthy foundation and fun environment for patients and parents. I believe early health promotion and disease prevention is key in oral health awareness. I aim to not only provide excellent services to patients, but to establish a rapport and educate patients and parents on the importance of oral health while having fun!
Dr. Oboite enjoys participating in medical missions. She has participated with the Christian Dental Society for two years where she had the opportunity to provide dental treatment to both adults and children in need in Treasure Beach, Jamaica.
Dr. Stephanie Oboite was born in Washington, DC and raised in Prince George's County, Maryland. In her free time she enjoys travelling, spending time with family and friends, event planning and trying new restaurants. She is a Proud Bison!

The doctor was very quick to dismiss us and order X-rays before even looking with her own eyes at my son's mouth. Before even speaking to us she demanded her assistant to order X-rays but I was paying out of pocket so I requested to have her simply look at my sons gums that were obviously swollen. I understand he might have cavities but our emergency visit was solely for the purpose of his immense pain on his cheeks which she did not care to give a detailed explanation for the cause or issue. She said to continue our care routine and have a good day. Not worth the $80 professional opinion that lasted all of one minute of observation. She couldn't even explain the multiple symptoms that he was dealing with. She wasn't the only one in the office that seemed inexperienced. Very unfortunate that I didn't have my insurance on hand and had to pay out of pocket but I don't think I would've gotten any better service after seeing their attitude towards such a concerning issue in a young child.

I've been taking my kids for over a decade, it was great before. After my children's last visit, I would not recommend this place anymore. My child was crying and in a lot of pain; but Dr. Oboite dismissed my child's body and verbal language and continued drilling on the tooth. To think she wanted me to leave her in the room alone with my child during treatment. My child loved the dentist, this has been the one and only bad experience my child has had at a dentist office, she is traumatized and wishes to never go back. That was the last time my children would be at this office.

They always listen to us parents. I know they listen and understand me as a parent. It's hard keeping up with their little mouths but the people at this dentist office are great with kids. Thank you. Keep up the great work with our children.

Have had such great experiences at this dentist for a year now. My kids do so well here! The front desk ladies are very friendly and accommodating. The hygienists have been thorough. When we've had to get work done, it's been smooth sailing. The doctors have been marvelous at handling the boys.
