Sarah Morales, DMD
Dr. Sarah earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biomedical and medical sciences from the University of South Florida before completing her dental training at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. She began her career in general and family dentistry, practicing for two and a half years before discovering her true passion in pediatric care. After spending two years working in pediatric dentistry in Florida, she made the move to Oregon and soon found her home at Acorn Dentistry for Kids.
Becoming a dentist had been a dream of Dr. Sarah’s since she was just four years old—thanks to the inspiration of her own pediatric dentist, who she still considers a superhero. After relocating to Oregon, she returned to general dentistry but quickly realized how much she missed working with children full time. When the opportunity to join Acorn came through her inbox, she knew it was something special. “I remember asking my husband, ‘Is this too good to be true?’—and I still ask myself that, because being at Acorn truly feels like a dream come true.”
Dr. Sarah describes herself as a big kid at heart. She loves singing (even if off-key!), telling stories, and creating joyful, engaging experiences for her patients. For her, pediatric dentistry is about more than teeth—it’s about building trust, encouraging confidence, and helping every child grow up with a healthy smile and a positive outlook on dental care.
Outside the office, Dr. Sarah and her husband enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, and exploring Oregon with their two beloved dogs, Cash and June Bug. From the Columbia Gorge to Mt. Hood, they’re always chasing their next outdoor adventure.
