- ISIndra Subedi6 days ago1.0Very unprofessional and extremely frustrating experience. My appointment was rescheduled multiple times, which already showed poor organization. When I finally arrived for my confirmed appointment, the office doors were closed and no one was there. There was no call, message, or notice to inform patients. Completely disrespectful of people’s time. I would not recommend this dental office based on my experience. If I could I would give them zero stars.
- HBHeather BoszeFeb 23, 20261.0Id give 0 stars if I could, Dental Dreams gave me a referral list for my 4 year old son and this was the only close place that took his insurance. He was referred for 2 cavities, 1 in F and one in J. After taking my son in they had him sit on my lap and looked in his mouth for 10 seconds and told me he has 10 to 15 cavities and needs to go to Lancaster to be put to sleep and have caps applied. How is one dentist saying 2 cavities and another is saying 10 to 15? We will not be going back!
- CRCrystal RemleinFeb 19, 20265.0The dental hygienist she was so sweet. The lady who did the x rays was so nice to us and the dentist wow she was so friendly and smiling and very happy to assist my daughter in her treatment. 1st time here and we loved this location. Thank you
- ATAmanda TaylorFeb 18, 20263.0My 13 yr old son shared that one of the lady workers was complaining to a fellow employee the whole time about her personal life, politics, etc. Then he said the employees were talking about how bad his mouth his and they don't think he even brushes as if he wasn't even there, he seems to report that to me every visit.
- SJSharnell JohnsonFeb 17, 20261.0We will be switching to a different dental office after multiple frustrating experiences. This practice felt extremely high-volume, and we did not experience the level of communication or patient-centered care we expect for our child. Parents are not permitted to be present during appointments, and after a brief exam, treatment recommendations and consent forms (including for laughing gas) were presented quickly, with limited opportunity for meaningful discussion or questions. Appointments were rescheduled or canceled more than once due to staffing issues, and it was often difficult to reach the office or receive return calls, which made an already challenging scheduling process even more stressful. I’m sharing this so other families understand what to expect. This approach may work for some, but it ultimately wasn’t the right fit for us, and we will not be returning.

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.
