We love love love this pediatric dentistry! There are enough kid friendly distractions to make a trip to the dentist not so scary. When you first go with your little one, they have single rooms where it is only your child. This helps keep your child’s anxiety down. They also can’t see what is going on with all the other patients and only have to focus on what is happening with them at that moment. There is a tv screen for cartoon watching in the ceiling above the chair to aid with distraction while your child is lying back. Once your little one is a bit older, they go into the larger patient area which has several chairs but yet still distractions. There are amazing murals on the walls, books, a tv area for cartoon watching which is helpful when younger siblings must join for dentist visits. Once your child is a bit older they encourage you to let them go back without you but you can still accompany them if you wish. Everyone is very friendly. There is complimentary coffee and water in the waiting room as well as crayons, books and more cartoons. I love the mural in the waiting room that has hidden pictures to find. We really do feel safe and comfortable here. My son has never had a bad word to say. He even had to have a baby tooth pulled that never got quite loose enough on its own and it was so painless he has since asked that all of his baby teeth be removed this way. Not happening BUT you can see my point. :)

This is a nice pediatric dental practice with an updated waiting room that is pleasant for both kids and parents alike (complimentary Keurig coffee/​tea bar). My son has been going here since he was in third grade, and at 16 years old, he just aged out of the practice (where have the years gone!). I never had to drag him here kicking and screaming, and they really do go out of their way to help children feel as relaxed and calm as possible about a visit to the dentist.
