I am very unhappy with the experience my child had at this pediatric orthodontic office. The environment was extremely unprofessional for a place that treats children.
During the appointment, staff members were loudly using curse words in the treatment area where children could hear them. That alone made the situation uncomfortable and inappropriate.
I was also very concerned about hygiene and cross-contamination. While working on my child’s braces, a staff member had my child hold the air dryer tool on the bracket while she walked away to talk to a coworker. She touched items at another station and then returned to continue working in my child’s mouth without washing her hands or changing gloves.
The staff also came across as loud, rude, and disrespectful. As a parent, I expect a pediatric dental office to maintain professionalism and proper cleanliness standards. Unfortunately, that was not the experience

I went here to get my braces worked on and I didn’t have a good experience. The staff were being loud and using curse words while kids were around, which made me really uncomfortable.
While working on my braces, the assistant even had me hold the air dryer tool on my bracket while she walked away to talk to another coworker. It felt strange because I didn’t think patients were supposed to do that.
The office didn’t feel very professional and the staff seemed rude. I hope they work on being more respectful and professional, especially since a lot of kids come here.

⭐️ 1 Star – Very Unprofessional Experience
This was my first and definitely my last visit to this office. The front desk staff were extremely rude and unprofessional.
Because it was my first time there for an orthodontist appointment, I accidentally went to the wrong front desk. Instead of helping me, the staff member spoke to me with unnecessary attitude and aggression simply because she could not find my children’s names on the schedule. Later I realized the appointment was actually listed at a different desk.
When I politely asked another staff member to correct my daughter’s name (which is spelled with “PH,” not “F”) and to fix my children’s last name, she argued with me and said it didn’t matter. That response was very disrespectful and unprofessional.
To make things worse, at the end of the appointment no one came to speak with me to explain what was done or what treatment my children might need. I had to go and ask to speak with someone myself.
This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a dental office. I will not be returning and would not recommend this place.

I wanted to give our 1st experience @ the blvd location 5 stars; however, I could not. The receptionist (name begins with ‘J’) was impatient and short tempered. She was seated in the first station closest to the waiting room which unfortunately was very loud due to crying children. On top of the noise, she was playing music so it was difficult to hear all of her questions. She began to speak in a condescending tone when I provided the wrong answer because I thought she said something else. Her response was completely unnecessary. I work in healthcare, this location is not operating efficiently and needs improvement on providing customer service. It shouldn’t take two hours to assess a patient.

My daughter had an 8:00a.m. appointment for teeth cleaning and she said her dentist flossed her teeth too hard/rough. When she came home her gums were still bleeding a little and were swollen. She is only 12. She also told me that another little boy was upset also that his teeth were flossed roughly as well. Please inform your staff to be a little more gentle with children. I’m not sure if the staff were in a rush but being too rough can be painful to the children.

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.

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.
