Smiles Pediatric Dentistry

My girls love going to this office. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. They take their time the children (even the difficult ones 😂)and remember every patient that comes in. Who doesn’t love great service!? The receptionist is amazing and a new Bears fan! Amazing time each visit. My children will be sad once they move and have to change dentist’s but well worth the visits. Always pleased and their teeth are improving. Most of all, it is EXTREMELY CLEAN. Love the tvs for the children to watch. My family loves it there!

We had a very pleasant visit at this dental office with both my daughter and son. I especially want to highlight how wonderful the dentist and nurses were with my 3.5-year-old, who is usually very difficult to deal with at the dentist. He really struggles with fluoride treatment and often vomits, which can turn the visit into a whole mess. Despite this, the nurses and dentist were incredibly patient, calm, and understanding the whole time. They took their time, never rushed us, and made us feel completely supported rather than stressed or embarrassed. It honestly made such a big difference. We really appreciated how kind they were and would definitely recommend them, especially for families with young kids.

1 STAR — Traumatic experience for my child My son had an extremely traumatic experience at this practice. I was told I wasn’t allowed in the room with him during treatment — what was supposed to be cavity treatment turned into a tooth extraction. He came out shaking, crying, and terrified. He told me he asked for me multiple times, but no one ever brought me in to comfort him. He also said he couldn’t breathe through his nose, so the nitrous oxide wasn’t even helping — and yet they continued. He said he almost passed out from the pain, begged for me, and they still didn’t stop or come get me. That is completely unacceptable. No child should ever be left alone and in pain like that. What happened here was traumatizing, and now my son has medical PTSD because of this experience. Parents

My daughter’s appointment with Dr. Kumar was very disappointing. The nurse had already helped my daughter open her mouth with no issues, but when Dr. Kumar repeated the technique, she pushed her finger too far into my daughter’s throat, causing her to gag and eventually vomit. Instead of checking on her, Dr. Kumar focused on cleaning the board first. By that time, I had already grabbed wipes myself to clean my daughter’s clothes and hair, and only afterward did she offer a napkin. She also kept asking, “Do I smell cereal? Did someone eat cereal today?” while my daughter was still distressed, which felt very insensitive. There was no comfort or reassurance until much later and kept saying that it's normal for children to throw up during the checkup, and even then it felt dismissive. She a

my daughter has been receiving services here since she was about 2 years old. Love the staff! The dentist! Very patient and understanding with my little one.
