Safari Smiles Dental

As a young adult who's parents made me use this dentist for years as a child I now have half of my teeth missing from fillings falling out from the mass amount of microscopic cavities that needed extreme drilling and filling. The ones that diddnt fall out instantly just rotted my teeth out from the inside and when they did come out most were way to far to save unless your rich. And some falling out as soon as the first 30 minutes after leaving. From a spec of a cavity to an entire hollowed out tooth just to be refilled again. I had up to 12 cavities apparently one visit that I personally could not see or feel anything at all. Specifically remembering spitting out chunks leaving the parking lot on that one.

As a proud Sonora local, I am super happy to say that I proudly recommend Safari Smiles Pediatric Dental to everyone in Tuolumne County. Many of my childhood memories consist of check-ups at this exceptional clinic. The child-friendly environment, along with a captivating game room, added an extra layer of excitement to my visits there.

New owners. Completely unprofessional. New dentist Dr Mishra (sp), gave my son nitrous/oxygen for over an hour during a procedure to “calm him”. He wasn’t even nervous, she called him to ideal patient. But gave it to him anyways “just in case”. Never flushed him with oxygen. He had a horrible reaction. Chills, dizzy, vision problems, throwing up. Also I had to have her remove her 4-5 yr old son that was hanging on the back of her chair moving it around while she was drilling in my son’s mouth. Complaints will be filed with the dentistry board!

I'm so happy that there is a beautiful woman taking over this business!!! My kids and I had such a good time with their checkup the other day! Dr "M" is a total sweetheart

We greatly appreciate great dental care for my grandchildren through the years in a child friendly environment at Safari Smiles Dental.
