TLC given here. I experienced trauma at a dentist office as a child. Dr. Maria has been very sensitive, patient, loving, professional, compassionate, and so much more at every visit. I am eternally grateful and thankful that she answered the call to become a dentist. This was my third visit. I will keep coming back! My Mom is ready to see her too.

I love Dr. Aluning. She was so gentle while filling my teeth. Especially when she injected the anesthesia to my gums I didn't feel pain at all. Her staff is very nice and friendly. I'm so glad I chose Carson Dental Care.

Carson Dental Care is a breath of fresh air compared to other dentists I went to in the past 10 years. Dr Aluning is very considerate of the patient's needs. The rest of the staff are very helpful and friendly. Thanks CDC. That's Carson Dental Cares with an 's'.
