My kids have seen both Dr. Richard and Dr. Happy at the Queen Creek location for ABC Dentistry for Children. They are both so kind and fun with my kids. The whole experience is catered around kids and my kids look forward to going to the dentist (even my daughter who has had treatment done). I'd highly recommend ABC Dentistry for children!

This is the kindest practice I have met. My 9 month old had some issues with a tooth coming in, and they took such good care. The dentist clearly knew how to deal with small children, and every single person I have met has been great! Thanks!

We love ABC Dentistry! The staff are so happy and friendly. They totally put my kids at ease. My kids (ages 2,5,7) are excited to go to the dentist so they get a prize. The waiting area has a great fish tank and tablets so kids are easily entertained. We've never waited more than 5 minutes to go back. Overall we are very satisfied with this office and the care we receive.
