The set-up of this dental office makes it a great pediatric dentist. The staff have all the kids together in a huge room with toys, books, videos and they play with the kids. Then when the child needs to sit in the seat to get cleaned, they hop in, get cleaned, then hop out and play more until the dentist is ready to check them. There is no pain whatsoever, even for major cavities and extractions like my kids have and the kids never know that they have gotten a shot because the staff turn it into one big game in which the child is helping and playing. The parents wait in the waiting room so the kids can have more fun without the parents spoiling it all by saying or doing something to make the kids nervous, but parents who want to go back are welcome to do so, so there is flexibility. I've had problems with other dentists that aren't good with children, so it is such a relief to take my kids here.
