It was the worst experience i ever had my daughter went home crying I felt discriminated by that doctor i've been taking my daughter since she was a child there. Never have. I ever been treated that way. that doctor I had yesterday. Was not nice, very rude. He didn't want to solve no problem with the situation that my daughter had a serious situation about her teeth coming off and he He made it seem like he didn't want to help us at all with the solution.

An hour into the appointment, still hadn’t seen the doctor. After the cleaning was finished, we had no update for the next 30 minutes, so we decided to leave with no exam. The staff and techs were friendly otherwise. This was now our 4th appointment in this office, and the doctors never seem to care how long they leave patients sitting and waiting. It’s not ideal considering small children have short levels of patience. Leaving them sitting in a dental chair for over an hour, primarily all time waiting doesn’t work. We decided we will find a new office. I’m only writing a review because the office just texted me soliciting feedback about the appointment.

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.
