The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first visit by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth erupting.

Always the best. My kids have been coming here for 15 years and they just feel so comfortable and at ease. The staff cares a lot about their comfort and are always smiling. Lisa is an absolute gem, the very best!

Horrible front office. Once they identify your coverage, they will try and squeeze every service they can out of you, needed or not. They aren't the only kids dentists in the area. look elsewhere!

We can not recommend Kids Dentist enough. Our kids love going here. The kids love their prizes. I'm kind of jealous I can't go here myself! Cathy, Lisa and the other new woman (who worked on Katelynn.sorry) are so friendly. The staff always going above and beyond to make our kids feel comfortable. All the dentist assistances are wonderful. It's always a very clean office. It is such a welcoming place. 10 stars if I could.

Only because i have to give a star am I giving it one star. unless you want your parenting questioned i would suggest going somewhere else. My children both have terrible teeth its genetic there dad did their grandmother did, uncle etc. Anyways we brought my son in because he had been complaining about a toothache and i wanted to get him in right away. They saw him but we were told we can't just see him on Emergency.

Which i understand but with Covid and everything else in the world they wanted 5000 to take care of the problems with his mouth and unfortunately i just don't have that kind of money to put down so i take him when a problem arises or i take him when in patches. But to have someone call you ask you whats going on and then to say and i quote "well we are willing to work with you, but we want to make sure you are taking care of your son his teeth are bad" but to assume its because i don't take care of my child and to question my parenting is hurtful!

I brought my daughter here because she has a fear of dentists and a friend of hers goes there. They are very good with kids although the dentist recommended some pretty extreme procedures that I have since gone to other dentists to get a second opinion! They wanted to do root canals and crowns on my seven years old's baby teeth. I took her to another place that does less invasive care for preserving teeth that have cavities until the adult teeth come in.

If you do decide to go to this dentist, make sure you keep your appointment reminder sheets. I took off work months in advance, and called to confirm my appointment, and they said no appointment was scheduled. They were not apologetic at all, very rude about the whole situation.
