The receptionists and dentists there are all very nice and friendly people; however, their scheduling process is terrible. They double and triple book patients for one slot. My daughter had an appointment scheduled for 7:20 am so the first appointment of the day and we didn’t get seen until 8:15 am and that was after I complained to the front desk so it likely would have been even later if I hadn’t said anything. Unfortunately, this is now the second time I’ve experienced this after complaining to the office manager both times. Unprofessional and unacceptable customer service in my opinion. Patients are always expected to be on time so providers should be too.

I wanna express my gratitude for everybody at that office. Everything was amazing. Sedation went well. The procedure went well and Levi is doing amazing. Just what I thank everyone at that facility and everyone at the pediatrics can’t express my gratitude enough thank you very much.

Front desk staff are very friendly but the wait is always really long. I think they are trying to see way too many kids at a time. They call 5-10 kids to go back at a time, then a long while later, ur kid comes out & u just leave...Parents can't go back, so you don't get to speak to a dentist at any point. You have no idea what was done or any aftercare instructions, & u can't ask questions or find out any information about your kids teeth. It's like they're herding cattle, not treating children.

Fui dos días seguidos, porque me enviaron equivocados las fechas, las esperas son demasiado largas para que te atiendan, mi niño tiene Autismo y no hay consideración al respecto.
Están overcapacity y pretenden que el paciente sufra las consecuencias, no es justo.

Very very very unprofessional !! I waited an hour with my son to be seen only to be told my special needs child had to go in the back by himself and nobody made me aware of that ! Also didn’t try to help make it an easier transition for my son we were instead just blown off like we didn’t matter. Highly don’t recommend especially if your child has mental issues.

Pediatric dentists have expertise in childhood development and behavior.

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.
