Bakersfield Kids' Dentistry and Orthodontics

Exceptional First Visit — Thank You Yesenia & Jacqueline! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my son’s first dental visit at Bakersfield Kids’ Dentistry & Orthodontics. From the moment we walked in, Yesenia and Jacqueline went above and beyond to ensure my child felt comfortable, safe, and at ease—something that’s not always easy for a little one’s first time at the dentist. Their warmth, patience, and gentle approach made all the difference. They took extra time to explain every step, using kindness, humor, and clarity to build trust quickly. Thanks to them, my son’s fears melted away, and by the end of the visit, he was smiling and calm! The office atmosphere was equally impressive—bright, welcoming, and clearly designed for kiddos and families. It’s evident that Bakersf

Jacqueline, the hygienist, is fantastic! Super friendly and helpful and was joking around with my daughter to make her feel more comfortable. Dr. Ninus is always professional and kind. I can't imagine bringing my kids to any other dentist.

The staff was very patient (pun intended) with my son. They put him at ease and explained the entire process to him so he was aware of the next steps. Great staff!

We have been coming here since day 1!! Our daughter absolutely loves coming to the dentist. They are very gentle + very professional! No complaints! Jacqueline the assistant and our dentist - Dr Ninus are highly recommended!

After bringing my children for three years to this practice, I will find another dentist. I love the service the dentists provide. The dentists and the hygienists are excellent; however, the front desk lady and the receptionists that relay messages to the dentists are not very nice. Below are the reasons why I am just seeking another practice: 1) There are no appointments. To book an appointment, you have to wait 4-5 months. If you cancel an appointment, you will have to schedule until the following year. 2) The receptionist, you will know which mean lady this is once you visit, is not friendly at all. I asked her for a physical form on one occasion because I forgot mine at home and I drive 50 miles away, and she told me the office didn’t provide one. I perceived that she was a bit racist
