This was our son first dentist appointment. The professionalism and kindness started from the front desk staff. It didn't stop there, the entire staff was a pleasure to work with.

The entire staff is always friendly and helpful. They all go the extra mile to make their patients feel comfortable and well informed. I started coming to Wild About Smiles as a child, and now they take care of both of my children. I highly recommend Wild About Smiles!

Going to the dentist is a struggle for my (currently) 5 year old, to say the least. We were going to a general family dentist and they had yet to be able to get into his mouth to check him out. Our first visit there, the staff was AMAZING! He wanted to run around, they helped me fill out paperwork because if you've ever tried to fill out paperwork and wrangle a rambunctious 5 year old, it's impossible.
They worked as a team and were able to see into his mouth, did a quick clean, and a fluoride treatment. He wasn't happy during the process but afterward was happy as a clam. I'm so thankful they got done what we haven't been able to do in 5 years. So glad we were recommended to them. If anyone's child struggles at the dentist, consider Wild about Smiles! They get the job done!
