- SLSHENDI LINov 17, 20255.0Nice dental Zone, my son so loves it! Every time when we go there to check his teeth, they will have a good attitude! We all love it!
- LGLuciana GálvezNov 11, 20253.0I was really disappointed in my first visit because I had to wait 1hand 30min with a toddler. All the Ipads were off and there was no host or any entertainment besides a movie. I heard they were better with kids before , my daughter got a little piggy and the doctors were great but the wait made the experience terrible
- VGVirginia GomezbbNov 10, 20251.0Un pésimo servicio te asen esperar más de 30 minutos te disen que tu cita es ala 1:30 te pasan alas 2:10 😒
- SOSusan olinaOct 24, 20251.0Today my daughter had a horrible experience at the visit today. The dentist accused my daughter of never brushing while all this time it was the retainer that made her gums swell up and yelling at us. It made my her cry. This is a children's dentist. No child should ever go through this. I hope my next visit will not be with Willy Shea.
- GHGabriella HernandezOct 21, 20251.0AVOID AT ALL COST!! Go elsewhere… anywhere. Poor quality drs. They soend under a minute giving techs instructions. There are 10-15 children being treated at the same time. No communication from Dr to parent. STAYYYY AWAYYYY!!
Frequently Asked Questions About Children's Dental FunZone
When should my child first visit the dentist?
We usually recommend scheduling your child's first pediatric dental visit as soon as their baby teeth begin to appear. This allows us to prevent any cavities from forming and talk with you about how to care for your child's teeth.
How often should my child visit the dentist?
We recommend most children visit the dentist every six months. We may recommend coming in every three months if we discover your child is more prone to cavities.
When and how should I start cleaning my child's teeth?
You should start brushing your child's teeth as soon as they start to appear. Use a toothbrush and toothpaste your child likes and turn toothbrushing into a fun game! You can both take turns role-playing as a dentist, brushing the front, back, sides, and top of the teeth in a circular motion.
Why are baby teeth important?
The baby teeth serve as spacers for the adult teeth. Children who have severe damage to their baby teeth are more likely to damage their permanent teeth as well. Early loss of baby teeth may cause loss of space for permanent teeth, causing orthodontic problems later on.
What kind of toothbrush should kids use?
We recommend you get a soft-bristle brush with a small head for cleaning your infant's teeth. As your child grows, switch to a toothbrush with a slightly larger head.
When should children start flossing?
If there is little or no space between your child's teeth, this is usually a sign that you should be helping them floss. Flossing is less necessary if there is a lot of space between a child's teeth.
Are x-rays safe for children?
Yes! Today's x-ray technology uses only 25% of the radiation when compared to earlier generations. Therefore, dental x-rays are considered incredibly safe for your child. If you ever have any questions about your child's safety during their checkup, don't hesitate to ask.
What is the difference between a pediatric dentist and a family dentist?
Family dentists can provide excellent general care for patients of all ages, but our pediatric dentists specialize in assessing the needs of infants and children. We monitor kids to ensure healthy oral formation while also keeping them comfortable, safe, and at ease during their visit.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
The cost of orthodontic care can vary greatly, depending on the patient's needs. We can provide a personalized estimate during your child's appointment. Additionally, we can talk to you about financing and insurance assistance as needed.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Some insurance policies will cover orthodontic care, at least partly, and some will not. It depends on your specific insurance, but we are always happy to talk with you about the best ways to maximize your reimbursement.
