Great consultation with Dr. Nadene. She and her assistant (Amy?) explained everything well and in a way that my nine-year-old son understood.

Love this place! Well worth the 2 hr drive and you don't have to wait forever. Dr Tipton, Danna, Jenn and all the other staff are beyond awesome. My 5 yr old was terrified of the dentist after a bad experience and he loves this place.
