Do not waste your time! They don't care they closed the day of my 8am appointment I never received a call, email nor text! When I called and got the call center they said someone called once the day before at 5pm but it did not connect. There was a mom that ubered with her daughter that was also not notified! Had I not been there they would have been stuck outside on one of the coldest days of they year!! I was told a supervisor would call me that was over a month ago I never got a call from anyone and they will no longer get my business with such carelessness for the people that keep them in business! RUN!! Also no need to thank me for my review bc no one there really cares!

It's still the same terrible place. If you arrive six minutes late, they won't see you. My son was waited on for an hour and 26 minutes for a "cleaning." Two months ago, he missed his appointment because his stepfather took him, and they refused to see him because I had to go. They already had signed documents authorizing that. His sister had an appointment two days later and was also there with her father. I told them to see her instead of her brother, but they refused again. The woman who attended to them sent word through my husband that if I wasn't happy with them, I could go to another dental clinic—there's one everywhere. At that moment, I should have taken her advice.

I rarely review, but I have had several poor experiences. Showing up for scheduled appointments should not be an inconvenience to staff. On multiple occasions, front desk staff haven’t even acknowledged my presence— not even eye contact— for minutes while standing in front of them at the desk upon arrival. A couple non-empathetic dental assistants with poor bedside manner and rude disposition probably shouldn’t be working with kids who are already nervous to come to the dentist. On more than one occasion, they have cancelled all appointments for the day and only communicated this via an email the same morning of our appointment. We won’t be back.

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.
