- SLScarlett loveFeb 9, 20261.0All the reviews about canceling your appointment last minute and can’t reschedule til months later is correct, happened to my two little one, absolutely ridiculous, do not recommend.
- ARAna Rodriguez de RosaFeb 3, 20261.0I have been coming to this practice for years. Between 2019 and 2021, everything ran smoothly, but since the COVID-19 pandemic, this place has become a total disaster. There are constant cancellations and rescheduling. On multiple occasions, they have switched scheduled cavity work for simple cleanings at the last minute. They are severely understaffed, relying on only one General Dentist (DDS/DMD) who cancels the entire day’s appointments whenever they take time off, showing zero regard for the patients' schedules. Furthermore, the support staff performs cleanings in the absence of the dentist just to avoid canceling more appointments. "Given the high demand, they desperately need more dentists to fix the poor service quality". I am already looking into better-rated alternatives in the area, like Kearns & Ashby Pediatric Dentistry, to avoid these ongoing issues.
- SAShahobiddin AbdurasulovFeb 3, 20261.0They cancelled all my 3 children’s dental appointments before their appt and moving 6 month away again
- JJJessicaJan 14, 20261.0I waited 8 months for my baby's appointment, and two days before, they canceled it and didn't reschedule. I do not recommend them. ….. They answered something below, but if I wait for another schedule my baby will no longer be a baby and we won’t need them anymore, so THAAAAANK YOU for nothing!
- SWSamantha WinklerJan 14, 20262.0Recently they’ve been canceling and rescheduling appointments. My daughter’s annual cleaning has been pushed back twice now because of “the doctors schedule” They used to be pretty consistent and good about keeping appointments but this keeps disrupting our schedule with having to switch work hours now.

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.
