Dear Tooth Fairy: Pediatric Dentistry of Jersey City

We switched to this clinic about 3 years ago and couldn't be happier. My child is naturally very anxious and fearful of dental checkups, but Dr. Kim is incredibly patient and supportive. Treating children is undoubtedly a tough job, but she handles it brilliantly. She also takes the time to explain the entire treatment process and goals clearly to us parents. The environment is so kid-friendly that even though my child walks in nervous, they always leave with a smile. Highly recommend!

Took our 7 year old son. He needed his tooth extracted because half of the root was in his gum line and half was outside of it, not an easy extraction was worried we would need to go to an oral surgeon. Dr. Kim with great precision took out his entire tooth first try! No need for oral surgeon! Dr. Kim has a wonderful clear direct approach with children. Our son was relaxed and comfortable throughout his entire visit. Her dental assistant also had such a warm welcoming bedside manner which is HUGE for kids! Her office is beautifully decorated bright and cheerful! Her front desk goes over and beyond between insurance and out of pocket expenses for each visit. Goes over the treatment plan in fine detail too. For our son, his favorite part is the gum ball machine where he receives a coin

After a recent experience at Dear Tooth Fairy, I would give this business zero stars if I could. Our family of four were patients for over 7 years and tolerated the unkind staff and booking difficulties over the years, but our last visit was the most disturbing experience I have ever had with a doctor or office and I would advise against anyone using their dental or orthodontics services, especially for children. My 7 year old child had an orthodontist visit with the orthodontist, Dr. Song, (who is completely ill-equipped to deal with children), to be fitted for his Invisalign. He did not have the correct size mouthpiece for my 7 year old child; they did not have the room set up for a child, but rather an adult, and instead of explaining what he would be doing before starting the procedur

I had a very frustrating experience at this dental office. I scheduled an appointment for my kids at 2:30 PM and even arrived 30 minutes early to make sure everything went smoothly. When I checked in, I was told they weren’t sure I was still coming because I didn’t answer a confirmation call that morning, because of that, the doctor had already left. What is the point of making an appointment if it can be canceled simply because a confirmation call wasn’t answered? I never received any notice that my appointment would be given away or that the dentist would leave if I didn’t respond. I took time out of my day and brought my children in, only to be turned away. Very unprofessional and disappointing experience. I expected better communication and respect for our time.

I took my son to have a bunch of fillings done today. He was a difficult patient because he would not open his mouth wide enough for Dr. Kim. Somehow she managed him with delicate care and communication that allowed Dr.Kim to execute all of his cavities! She completed them in such a timely fashion and told my son he could have lunch right away afterwards. Win! win !for father & son to have lunch together right after seeing the dentist! He also needed to get an impression done for a bottom space maintainer. In a blink of an eye it was already done! Our son will be continuing his treatment going forward with Dr. Kim and her staff! Everyone is amazing and comforting and goes the extra mile for their patients!!
