Meet the Team

Dr. Amy Hauschildt had a childhood that was a tad more interesting than many of us. While she was born in Colorado Springs, she grew up all the way across the globe in Papua New Guinea. This unique childhood shaped her outlook as she grew up. 

She ended up going to dental school at Loma Linda in California and after graduation joined our office. While she didn't intend to be at a kids only practice, Dr. Amy is glad it worked out that way. Now, she can't imagine being anything other than a kids dentist. She loves talking with kids and hearing their wild, funny stories. 

Through the experiences growing up abroad, she understood the health challenges that underserved communities have to endure. As a result, she founded  International Dental Ministries, a group that provides dental care to rural communities in Peru.

In addition, Dr. Amy is an active member of the American Dental Association.

Dr. Jonelle Romero grew up in Brooklyn, New York with her father, an artist, and older sister. Her interest in dentistry began when her wisdom teeth came in. She wanted to know more about why they came in, why they are so often removed, and how to keep them!

She decided to enter children's dentistry since there is never a dull moment working with kids. Always energetic and full of life, Dr. Romero wanted to ensure the children she treated would always have a great smile to show off to the world.

She received her undergraduate degree in Public Health from East Carolina University, before going on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the ECU School of Dental Medicine. She is a proud member of the NC Dental Society as well as the American Dental Association.

Her best tip for parents for helping children maintain a healthy smile - be a role model! Brush and floss with your kids and try to make it fun by creating games or playing music.
