My oldest has been known to clench her mouth shut when her own pediatrician wants to look in her mouth so I figured a kid-specific dentist was the way to go. I got opinions from 20-25 people and 90% of them recommended this place. Then I found out about the no parents in the exam area policy. I had never heard of anything like that so I called and talked to them about it. The way that my concerns were addressed did a lot to reassure me. Additionally, the more I thought about it, the more sense this made. Well-meaning parents often create anxiety in their children by saying things like ?Don?t worry. This won?t hurt.? Do you know what that does? It plants a seed in the kid?s head that this might HURT. By taking us out of the equation, the staff can create a happy, stress-free environment. They really do know what they?re doing and if you step back and hand over control, they will get the job done. My daughter loves this place and is super pumped about going back for her next
