Dr. Angela Crincoli has been practicing dentistry in a variety of clinical settings for more than 25 years. In 2017, Dr. Angela Crincoli began working with KinderSmile Foundation, an organization that brings dental health care to at-risk children and families.
KinderSmile Foundation operates several programs in and around Bloomfield, New Jersey. Its newest is the KinderSmile Community Oral Health Center, a facility intended as an oral health care home base for under-served children up to age 18. The facility accepts most insurances, including Medicaid and New Jersey FamilyCare, while also welcoming families without insurance. When necessary, the facility offers financial assistance as well.
Children receive complimentary preventive services at the facility, including thorough cleanings and fluoride applications as well as complete oral examinations and X-rays. Children who are experiencing decay also have access to corrective interventions ranging from standard fillings to extractions performed on a case-by-case basis. Emergency appointments are scheduled within 24 hours of a call and are available to all children, with the first visit being free of charge.
The practice also provides dental education for both children and parents, which is also free of cost. The KinderSmile Community Oral Health Center uses story-based educational app that helps children learn about dental health through narration, games, and age-specific, entertaining quizzes. Children of all ages also visit with clinical assistants who teach them how to brush their teeth correctly, and each visit offers the opportunity for parents to learn proper techniques for nutrition and at-home oral hygiene.
