We felt that we did not get any time individually with the dentist. After the cleaning, she checked our child's teeth very quickly and then left without telling us directly about any cavities - although she told them to the hygenist. The hygenists are nice. If I use a pediatric dentist though I would prefer it be someone who takes the time to make our child feel welcome and safe rather than rushed. Our child was excited for her first visit to the dentist but unfortunately left scared of the dentist. The dentist did seem to get too frustrated when our daughter opened her mouth wide but couldn't open it as wide as the dentist wanted.
