After searching for nearly 10 years ( I have 3 kids ranging in age from 12 -22) I have finally found a dental practice that I LOVE! They don’t push those metal caps for a simple cavity, they actually treat the cavity! They aren’t some big chain with locations in every direction so it has a more home town feel which is exactly what I was looking for. They also don’t have an assembly line of kids and over bookings running through their office. The appointment you make is your appointment and not yours and 10 other kids all lined up with no place for parents to be when your child just wants to be able to see you…

My mother just came in with my 15 year old brother. His age is important here. My brother has been in excruciating pain for a week with a back molar in need of a root canal. He has cried every night and cannot sleep. A dentist turned him away because they said they don’t do root canals and the hospital (which he’s been to twice) has given him pain meds to get through the night but nothing else. He was brought to YOUR office to receive care. You guys said you only pull “baby teeth” but I searched it up and Google says pediatric dentists see patients from 6 months to 1 year up to 18 years old. 18 years old. You guys just turned my brother away because you guys are “closing soon” and you can only pull “baby teeth.” Don’t call yourself a pediatric dentist if you won’t do anything for a child that is 15 years old. How dare you turn my brother away when he is in excruciating pain and he is in so much pain that he wants the tooth pulled out of his mouth instead of a root canal at this point to try to save his tooth (which I see on your guys website you do root canals and tooth extractions). How dare you. My mom waited in your guys office lobby for an HOUR (she had a 3:30 pm appointment) just to be called back and told “we can’t do anything.” And you guys turned him away. How hard is it to pull a tooth out if you do it for children? (Which by the way my brother is a CHILD). Extremely appalled by your guys inconsiderate actions.

I am a first time mom and I scheduled a new patient appointment for my son and was pleased with the conversation over the phone. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to schedule the visit and how quickly they were able to make the appointment.
I showed up 15 minutes early for his appointment to allow time to complete paperwork. I emailed copies of his insurance information a week before the visit. The desk was busy so I placed the completed paperwork in the line of vision of the receptionist working and made eye contact with her to ensure she saw it and she nodded at me. The paperwork was finished before the start of my son’s appointment. Then receptionist came out 10 minutes after the start of his appointment and asked for the paperwork and I explained that I had left it on the desk for her.
40 minutes after the start of his appointment I walked to the front desk and the same woman proceeded to ignore that I was standing there. It took so long that the woman at the checkout desk let her know I was standing there. The woman said she knew and continued her task without so much as a glance up at me. I waited patiently for her to complete her task but after at least 5 minutes the woman at the checkout desk asked me if I had a question. I explained that I had been there for over an hour waiting to be seen and wondered how long the wait was.
I had seen 4 other clients who arrived well after I did be taken into the back. I understand that things happen and make wait times longer. I used to work as a receptionist myself. But I ended up walking out due to the behavior of the receptionist at the front desk. Her blatant disrespect and obvious attempt at ignoring me standing there.was just downright unprofessional and rude.
This office did not feel friendly or inviting whatsoever so parents please protect your own sanity and choose a more friendly environment.
Management please do better with choosing who you have as the face of your practice. The experience begins with the receptionist and can make or break the ability to bring in new clients

From an 8 year old mouth. He enjoyed someone other than himself having to brush his teeth. He looks forward to the next visit!

We had an emergency appointment today and the staff was kind and caring from the receptionist we spoke to on the phone to the hygienist to the doctor. We were so grateful they squeezed us in on such a busy day! Thank you! 😊

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.
