Meet Dr. Okoh
I’m a New York City transplant, originally from Brooklyn, NY, and have proudly lived in four out of the five boroughs of NYC. My husband and I met while I was in my senior year of dental school in Philadelphia. We have a one-year-old son together.
School brought me to Philadelphia in 2008, and I’ve been here ever since. I’m the oldest of four girls and am privileged to have attended three Ivy League universities.
My best friend’s mother inspired me to get into dentistry. After my first year of college, she invited me to visit her mother’s practice. I had no idea what kind of practice she meant. But I went and was blown away at what a Nigerian-American woman was able to accomplish. She had a beautiful office, supportive staff, and patients who loved her. I knew in that moment dentistry was my calling.
As a Montgomery County dentist, I treasure all the relationships I build with the families I see time and time again. Both the patient and parents make me smile when another six months rolls around, and I get to hear all their family updates.
I genuinely love what I do and enjoy becoming an extension of my patients’ families.
We asked our dentist some fun questions – see her answers!
What do you do outside of the office?
YouTube! I love being on camera and sharing my passions with others. I’ve been blogging and vlogging since 2009 about fashion, beauty, and hair care. I also enjoy group fitness classes, organizing my planner (#plannergirl), and spending time with my son and husband.
Who is your hero and why?
Oprah Winfrey. In everything she does, Oprah has earned a reputation for championing causes that reflect her beliefs. These beliefs show how each of us should take personal responsibility for our lives and help to improve the world. Like her, I want to be able to use my voice to empower those far or near. My ambition is to become a philanthropist on a global level.
What was the best day of your life? Why?
September 1, 2018 – the birth of my first child. After experiencing childbirth, womanhood and motherhood now have a newfound meaning to me. Being a new mother has been such a blessing, and I’m so privileged to watch my little boy explore, learn, and develop new skills daily.
What is an interesting fact about yourself?
I have a YouTube channel and am a “planner girl.” I have an extensive selection of planner stickers and washi tape.

We Accept Insurance & Sunbit↗
At Farm Park Pediatric Dentistry, we accept several PPO insurances as accessibility to exceptional care is our priority. We recognize that dental insurance can be a helpful way to offset the cost of dental treatment for many families.
Our office is committed to helping you maximize your dental insurance benefits. As a service to our patients, we will check with your dental insurance company to get your coverage detail before your appointment, so please have your dental insurance information ready when you make your appointment. We will also submit a pre-treatment estimate to your provider on your behalf.
Please understand that we file claims as a courtesy to our patients, and we do not have a contract with your insurance company–only you do. Because insurance policies vary greatly, we can estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee it due to the complexities of insurance contracts.

FAQ
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within 6 months after their first tooth appears, whichever comes first.
Children should visit the dentist every 6 months for regular checkups and cleanings. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your child's individual oral health needs.
Yes, dental X-rays are safe for children. Modern dental offices use digital X-rays that emit very low radiation levels. Additionally, protective lead aprons and thyroid collars are used during X-rays to minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnostic purposes.
To prevent cavities: 1) Maintain good oral hygiene, brushing twice daily and flossing, 2) limit sugary foods and drinks, 3) use fluoride toothpaste, 4) consider dental sealants, 5) maintain regular dental checkups, 6) encourage healthy eating habits, and 7) supervise brushing for young children.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, there's a mix of baby and permanent teeth, allowing orthodontists to identify potential problems early.
Invisalign can be suitable for teens, and there's even a specific product called Invisalign Teen. However, eligibility depends on various factors, including: 1) the type and severity of orthodontic issues, 2) the patient's maturity and responsibility level, 3) whether all permanent teeth have erupted, and 4) your orthodontist can determine if Invisalign is appropriate for your child's specific case.
While braces don't hurt during application, you may experience some soreness for a few days after getting them and after adjustment appointments. This discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
