Dr. Alex is the founder of Kids Tooth Team, and is proud to lead the pediatric-focused dental team at our South Austin dental office. She originally grew up in Naples, Florida, and she knew that dentistry was her calling from an early age. She went to University of Florida for college, and then attended dental school at Virginia Commonwealth University, where she earned her dental degree.
After graduating from dental school, she continued her education in pediatric dentistry with a one-year residency in Denver, Colorado at the Denver Health Medical Center, where she got her first taste of living in the American Southwest. Then, Dr. Alex undertook a two-year pediatric residency in Alaska, which is the state in America with the highest rate of dental disease.
Dr. Alex first moved to Texas with her husband Tim in 2015. She fell in love with the state and its people, and considers herself an adopted Texan. That’s why, when Dr. Alex wanted to start her own pediatric dental practice, she chose the Buda, TX and South Austin communities.
Dr. Alex is proud to be a business owner in the community. Not only can she create job opportunities for its residents, but as the owner of Kids Tooth Team, she also gets to help educate parents about oral care, and help their kids maintain healthy mouths. Serving people is her passion, and she looks forward to meeting you and your little one, and providing the dental care your child needs in South Austin.

As a board-certified pediatric dentist, working with kids is not only Dr. Alex’s field of expertise, but her passion, too. We provide a full range of pediatric dental services for kids of all ages in South Austin. A few of our specialties include:
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. At our South Austin office, Dr. Alex and our team focus on preventive care including six-month checkups and oral exams. With regular visits to our office, your child can avoid common dental health issues like gum disease and cavities completely.
We offer white zirconia dental crowns at our Sprig-certified office. White crowns are strong and durable, and great for repairing decayed or damaged teeth. And they also look and feel completely natural, so your child’s smile will look as good as new.
Every child deserves excellent dental care in South Austin. We’re proud to work with children with special needs. If your child has physical, medical, developmental, or cognitive challenges, please get in touch with us. Dr. Alex and our team can develop a dental care plan that fits their unique needs.
We know that fillings and other dental procedures can be scary for kids. That’s why Dr. Otto specializes in sedation dentistry in South Austin. With sedation at our office, your child can rest, relax, or even sleep through their entire appointment and get the care they need. No fear, no anxiety, and no worries.
We’re passionate about our community at Kids Tooth Team. And while we know how important dental health is for children, understand that there are lots of things that can stop kids from getting the care they need in the South Austin community.
Cost is often a major barrier to treatment, even though early intervention and preventive dentistry in South Austin can prevent most dental health issues. That’s why we’re proud to serve our community through Kids Tooth Team Outreach. Through this program, we free dental care for underserved communities. With our mobile dental office, Drl Alex and our South Austin team can provide care for kids, free of charge.
We truly believe that all kids in South Austin and in the Central Texas area deserve healthy mouths, and to get the best dental care in the world. So with our mobile pediatric dental clinic, we bring our world-class team to communities in need. Then, kids of all ages can get the quality dental care they need in a fun, safe, and welcoming environment.
And best of all, treatment is 100% free, and funded by donations from Kids Tooth Team and our community. If you’d like more information about Kids Tooth Team Outreach or you want to get involved, you can take a look at our website.
We changed dentists and started coming here. Best choice ever! The staff is exceptional at their job. They have created a safe, comforting, and welcoming environment for my kiddo. The office is decorated super cute and very kid-friendly. The dentist does a fantastic job at helping the parent feel comfortable and understand the process. 10 out of 10 recommend!

The visit was awesome! The kids loved it. The doctor all of a sudden started to speak Spanish and that was a plus. The nurse was extra nice to the babies. I recommend it 100%. The kids can’t wait to go back again. Such a nice place and environment for the kids. Love the extra goodies including a super cute picture!
