Get to Know Dr. Alex

As the Founder of Kids Tooth Team, Dr. Alex’s goal was to create a pediatric dental office unlike any other. After nearly a decade of being in the profession, it became clear to her that dental offices were becoming more and more about the doctor and insurance companies and less about the patients and the families they serve. 

Dr. Alex hated seeing families waiting forever to see the doctor, only to be told that there was only one way to do things (the doctor’s way of course!). It drove her crazy to hear sales pitches or anyone recommending unnecessary treatment, especially to a child. And not to mention the lost look on a parent’s face as some random person in the office confusingly tried to explain an insurance plan or how much you may owe - they may as well have been speaking a different language. She knew that Kids Tooth Team had to do things differently.  

Dr. Alex is here to serve you and your child - bottom line! As a pediatric specialist with years of residency training and private practice experience, she offers a wide variety of minimally-invasive and surgically complex services. You can rest assured that Dr. Alex has extensive experience providing compassionate care, no matter your child’s needs. 

Dr. Alex takes your time very seriously and has many protocols in place at the office to ensure you aren’t waiting to see her, have a say in every step of the process, and stay informed about your insurance and coverage. She cares deeply about you and your family - something that you will sense the second you walk into our doors. There will never be a sales pitch and you will never hear the words: “This is the only way to do it.” We are here to offer you options that fit your child and their needs as well as your parenting philosophy, lifestyle, and budget.

Get to Know Dr. Rappaccioli

Dr. Eduardo was born in Prague and moved shortly afterward to Nicaragua, where he was raised. Inspired by his grandfather, who was a dentist, he developed a passion for dentistry early on. His goal is to help children of all ages feel as comfortable as possible and enjoy their experience in the dental office. After earning his undergraduate degree in Managua, Nicaragua, in 2015, he completed an advanced specialty program in pediatric dentistry in Loma Linda, California, where he also met his wife, Brittany (also a dentist!). Dr. Eduardo practiced pediatric dentistry in California and served as a university faculty professor before relocating to Austin in 2019. Since then, he and his family have made Austin their home, enjoying time on the lake as much as possible. Dr. Eduardo spends his free time exercising, practicing jiu-jitsu, playing video games, traveling, enjoying good food, and relaxing at home with his three dogs: Luca, Austin, and Sora.
