Who Said Dentists Have to be Scary?
Most dental offices look at your child’s teeth. We look at everything. At Castle Creek, every visit includes risk assessments for cavities, gum inflammation, airway development, and sleep-breathing concerns — because what happens in a child’s mouth shapes their entire health trajectory.
Dr. Boyd Simkins, DDS has spent over 22 years pioneering a whole-body approach to pediatric dentistry. He teaches this model at the national level — at the ADA, AAPD, AAOSH, and the Utah Dental Association — and brings that same cutting-edge knowledge directly to families in Northern Utah.

What Makes Us Different
This Isn’t Your Typical Kid’s Dentist.
At most practices, a dental visit means a cleaning, an X-ray, and a reminder to floss. At Castle Creek, it’s a full-spectrum health evaluation. Here’s what sets us apart:
Salivary Screening & Risk-Based Dentistry
We use in-office saliva analysis to objectively measure caries bacteria levels, acidity, inflammatory markers, and more — giving us real data to guide your child’s care. No guessing. No “let’s wait and see.”
Airway & Sleep-Breathing Assessment
Mouth breathing, snoring, tongue posture, and crowded teeth aren’t just cosmetic concerns. They can signal sleep-disordered breathing that affects your child’s brain development, behavior, and growth. We screen for these issues at every visit.
Growth & Development Guidance
We track facial bone development and jaw growth over time — intercepting problems early, before they require more invasive treatment. Prevention isn’t just about cavities. It’s about giving your child the structural foundation they need for a lifetime of healthy breathing, sleeping, and smiling.
Prenatal & Maternal Oral Health
Your child’s oral health journey begins before they’re born. Research shows a mother’s oral bacteria and inflammation directly influence her baby’s microbiome, immune system, and cavity risk. We work with expectant mothers and new parents to get ahead of problems before they start.
