- DLDana Luzzi5 days ago1.0Got there early, filled out my son's paperwork, other kids/families that got there after us got taken back. I asked about my son and they forgot about him in the waiting room. The cleaning itself took 5 minutes, and then had to wait longer for the doctor to come in. The place is just too busy.
- RERainelle EllerbeApr 1, 20261.0My appointment was basically canceled and was told that the doctor was hrs behind. A simple call would have been nice but they waited until I arrived to tell me.
- SASarah AbdelrahmanMar 31, 20261.0Had my daughters appointment there today that I have had scheduled for a month now, after a 10-15 minute wait i get called to the desk telling me the doctor is behind and it will be at least another 45 minute wait. I can either wait or reschedule. I asked her how come? She said the doctor is behind and just took in her patient that will take at least 45 minutes. My daughter was scheduled for a simple filling that doesn’t take longer than 15 minutes. She could have easily taken us then taken her longer appointment. I live 20 minutes away, have had the appointment for over a month now and that is what happens after I take the time to go to the office. I understand things happen but I could have gotten a call and given that option before I dropped everything and left my house. Very unprofessional and not the first time I have had an issue with this office. I constantly have some type of problem with this office. Looking for somewhere else that will take my insurance .
- BJBrian JoachimMar 30, 20261.0The dentist is fantastic but the office crew is awful. We almost always have a coding issue with insurance and they never seem to have our paperwork up to date. Went in today for a quick follow up after my daughter had dental surgery last week and the dentist who we made the appointment with wasn't even there. My daughter has special needs and is comfortable with this dentist, this wound up not being a big deal, just saw a different one, but they also insisted that I fill out "new patient" paperwork. Now mind you, we were in the hospital outpatient wing last week with the dentist from this office with all sorts of clearances and insurance pre-authorizations, so I know our paperwork is up to date and tried to explain this. I was just met with an attitude and told I wouldn't be seen. I tried to explain that the paperwork for my daughter would take quite awhile and that they already had it. After going back and forth another girl jumped and after I insisted with her too she finally looked at the computer and saw that ALL the paperwork was there and up to date. Best dentist worst office staff!
- MEMariii EsMar 13, 20261.0If you can go to another location do it. Ambica whatever is her name is the worst couldn’t explain how a procedure to me, didn’t explain the benefits or consequences of the procedure she wanted to preform on my child. Throws instruments around when she doesn’t like what you hear and won’t continue checking your child. Spoke to someone at the Lakewood office about the whole incident and they were very much understanding and said they would help me if the Howell office didn’t help me with my problem.

Pediatric dentists have expertise in childhood development and behavior. Pediatric offices are geared toward young visitors, you’ll find that the staff, as well as the office design, decorations, and activities.
Why should x-rays be taken at dental checkups?
X-rays help dentists make sure your child’s teeth and jaw are healthy and properly aligned, can help identify if there are any cavities that they are not able to clinically see.
What are dental sealants?
Sealants cover the pits and fissures in teeth that are difficult to brush and therefore susceptible to cavities. Dental sealants are a safe, simple way to help your child avoid cavities, especially for molars, which are hardest to reach.
How should I brush my child’s teeth?
Sit your child on your lap, facing away from you. Cup their chin with one hand, with their head resting against your body. Brush teeth and along the gum line. Brush gently in small circles. Clean every tooth thoroughly and brush the inside, outside and chewing surfaces of teeth.
How often should I replace my child’s toothbrush?
Replace your child’s toothbrush every 3-4 months or when your child is sick.
How can I choose a good toothbrush for my child?
Choose a child’s toothbrush with a small head and soft bristles. You can choose a manual or electric toothbrush.
When should I start flossing my child’s teeth?
Start flossing your child's teeth when you notice their teeth touching. Floss your child's teeth for them until they are old enough to do so themselves, which usually happens by age six or seven. It is recommended that parents should still help and supervise with flossing until the age of ten.
My child plays sports, how can I protect their teeth?
Even children’s sports involve contact, and we recommend mouthguards for children active in sports. If your little one plays baseball, soccer, or other sports, ask your dentist about having a custom-fitted mouthguard made to protect their teeth, lips, cheeks, and gums.
What causes toothaches?
There are many different factors that can cause tooth discoloration. An abnormally colored tooth is anything other than the yellowish-white to the white color of normal teeth. The factors that contribute to tooth color include congenital conditions, genetics, infections, and environmental factors. Abnormal color and shape may be caused by a malfunction in body processes. Some of these factors can influence the way your child’s enamel is formed, while others simply stain the enamel. Teeth may be uniformly discolored or it may appear as spots or lines in enamel. In addition, discolored areas may have a different density and porosity than normal enamel. The color and hardness of enamel can also be affected by drugs or medications taken by either the child during the time of tooth development or by the mother while pregnant.
At what age should my child stop thumb-sucking?
Thumb sucking is a normal habit for many children. Its peak occurrence is at about age two and it can be an important source of pleasure for an infant or toddler. This habit is usually nothing to worry about since your child will usually outgrow the habit. However, if they continue to suck their thumb past age 4, dental problems such as malocclusion may occur.
