Welcome to Smiles in Motion Pediatric Dentistry in Chippewa Falls
Meet your Chippewa Falls pediatric dental experts
Dr. Erin Winn, Dr. Brandy Helms, Dr. Madeline Goettl, and Dr. Nicholas Luke are our dream team in Chippewa Falls, specializing in the smiles of infants, children, teens, and young adults. We follow a patient-centered approach to ensure that your child has an exceptional experience every time they visit us.
Just like you take your child to a pediatrician to care for their body, think of us as pediatricians for your child’s mouth! Pediatric dentists have an additional 2-3 years of specialized training beyond dental school, so they know how to care for your child’s oral health through every stage of their childhood. Oral health is an important part of overall health, and we’re here to help kids build healthy dental habits early in life.

Our Chippewa Falls office is located at 583 Lakeland drive, near St. Joseph’s Hospital and just down the road from Oakleaf Clinics. We treat children from many schools within the Chippewa Falls School District, as well as daycares like Kids USA and Monkey Business.
Our dental clinics are designed with kids in mind
When kids come to Smiles in Motion, it’s clear from the start that we created a place just for them. Our brightly colored welcome area has a playplace and interactive games. Every exam area has screens on the ceiling, so your child can watch their movie of choice while they are being treated. At Smiles in Motion, it’s fun to go to the dentist! By making kids happy and collaborating with parents, we can build positive attitudes about dentistry that last a lifetime.
We can’t wait to meet you! Here’s what you can expect
Infant visit (age one)
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends seeing a dentist for the first time by age one–even the tiniest of teeth need professional care. Your pediatric specialist will assess the growth and development of your child’s mouth (including any thumb-sucking or pacifier habits) and provide tips to help you keep their smile clean and healthy.
Toddlers and preschoolers
We do not expect your child to sit in a dental chair on their own or fully cooperate until at least preschool age, and it’s perfectly normal for young children to cry. Don’t worry, we’ve got this! Your care provider will likely perform a lap-to-lap or knee-to-knee examination with a parent or caregiver’s help, providing reassurance along the way.
Elementary to young adult
These are critical years for building a positive attitude about dental care, so we do everything we can to make your child feel welcome and comfortable during their visit. Your pediatric dentist will explain things in age-appropriate terms and show the instruments they’ll be using. And of course, parents are always welcome in the room.
