Dr. Tiffany Rangel, of Twice Pediatric Dentistry, and Dr. Lauren Poole, of Sweet Truth Dental, are making dental care easier for families in Brentwood. With two offices located side by side in the old Brentwood library in Maryland Farms, parents can drop off their children for dental appointments and step right next door to take care of their own pearly whites.
Dr. Rangel is a Florida native who decided with her husband that Brentwood was where they wanted to be. “I really enjoy getting to be a part of the community that I’m also servicing,” she says.
She adds she always enjoyed working with children and decided to become certified to open Twice Pediatric Dentistry. “I love the challenge of kids, the innocence, and the ability to win them over." As a parent herself, she's able to relate to mothers in providing children treatment in her own dental chair.
Dr. Poole, whose husband is a native of Brentwood, was visiting his family here for the first time when she recalls knowing that this is where she wanted to live. “The community here – you just can’t beat it. Everything family-oriented here is so important to us.”
Her office, Sweet Truth Dental, is founded on the practice of holistic dentistry. After diving into a holistic lifestyle herself, she decided she wanted to open a holistic practice of her own. Holistic dentistry is standard dentistry using a more preventative approach to ensure no toxic chemicals are used. “We just want to do things more safely for my patients. I have more options, I do more explaining, and I offer patients a toxic-free approach,” says Dr. Poole.
Dr. Rangel and Dr. Poole’s friendship bloomed out of their work at previous practices. When Dr. Poole found a large space in Maryland Farms for her own practice, she called up her friend and asked if she would like to join her next door and divide the space into two separate offices. Dr. Rangel was ready.
“It’s nice to have a colleague next door to bounce ideas off of as far as running businesses or just as a mom,” says Dr. Rangel. They cherish their relationship both personally and professionally. They support one another whether it’s in their work or in their roles as mothers and wives. “As a woman and a mom and opening a business, I wouldn't have survived this without doing it with her,” says Dr. Poole.
