I had previously scheduled both my of children for appointments at 2pm for routine cleanings. We arrived at 1:45pm to fill out paperwork. We weren’t called back until AFTER 2:30 and at that point they told me that they could take my daughter back since she’s older and they can set up her cleaning in one of the bays but they didn’t have a private room for my son and I to go back with him yet. It wasn’t until 2:50pm that they finally had a private room open. When they took us back they did an xray right away and the cleaning didn’t start until after 3pm. Now, my son is autistic and it was important I went back with him. Why wasn’t this planned out during scheduling? This could have prevented an almost HOURS wait by knowing what needs certain patients were going to have for the day and to plan accordingly. After both of my kids cleanings were done it took another 15-20 mins for the dentist to come check them out as well. The whole process took much longer than needed. They clearly don’t schedule properly. Also, every time I went up to the front desk to ask the employees a question, they were on their personal cell phones. I went to go check out and the dental assistant who brought us up to the desk said, “once she’s done she’ll be able to check you out and get that appointment scheduled” well, the thing that was taking the check out employee away from checking me out and paying attention was her being on her phone. The dental assistant literally walked away and I am standing there waiting to be scheduled and she’s clearly on her cell phone. The overall process was such a headache and I’m completely turned off to ever going there again. I will be taking both of my kids elsewhere.

The staff is amazing very knowledgeable and kind. My only complaint is the wait time. My appointment was at 12pm, and I wasn’t seen until after 1pm. Other than that, I would 100% recommend!

Very poorly run. Staff are very friendly with the kids, HOWEVER, the wait time is absolutely ridiculous! We schedule the first appointment of the day and still manage to be there at least an hour due to the hygienist finishing and then having to wait FOREVER (usually at least 20-30 minutes) for the dentist! We have even shown up several times before the front office staff (even though we are arriving at around 755am) who didn't manage to get there and get the computers up and running until after 8am (our appointment time).

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.
