Located just a few doors down from our Back Bay office is Tiny Tooth Co., a fun, family-friendly pediatric dental office that any little one is sure to love! That’s because Dr. Andrew Vo and Dr. Marcus Heffner are on a mission to make kids’ dental visits something to smile about!

As board-certified pediatric dentists and co-founders of Tiny Tooth Co., Dr. Andrew and Dr. Marcus combine top-level expertise with a warm, friendly approach that helps every child feel safe, confident, and excited about caring for their teeth.

Dr. Marcus, a former dental school faculty member and UCLA-trained specialist, is known for his gentle touch and skill in treating children with special healthcare needs and dental anxiety.

Together, they’ve created a space where kids feel comfortable and parents feel supported — offering advanced, prevention-first dental care with the convenience of having their child’s medical and dental needs met under one roof.

Outside the office, they’re passionate about fitness, family time, and mentoring the next generation of dental professionals. At Tiny Tooth Co., big smiles really do start tiny — and they’re proud to grow them every day alongside the Ocean Pediatrics team!
