First off, full disclosure I am a dentist at Comfort Dental in Gladstone. My little girl got cavities. (yes as a dentist I was embarrassed because i brush her teeth every night and morning.) But I understand that despite that, kids can get cavities. I would have done her work myself but when its your kid its very hard to do their dental work. When I took my little girl to Dr. Pollina he was amazing! All i wanted was for her to have a good experience and to get better. His gentle nature and care for children showed in how my daughter reacted.
She loves her bubble nose (that means the bubble gum flavored mask for the nitrous gas.) She still wears it for fun and asks if she can go back to the dentist. She is so proud that her dad is a dentist who helps people when there teeth hurt. When i get home she says Dad, did you fix peoples teeth? and I say yes I did. Then she gives me a hug. If you have a child that needs dental work go to Dentistry for children. If you are an adult come see me ;).

I absolutely love Dr.Aaron. One of the things i love about him is that he walks my daughter step by step on the process of what hes doing. She is 3 so i feel like its a must do when working with toddlers or infants. I would recommend him with any kid. Hes super friendly and always makes my girls feel at home. I have a good visit every single time. Jan 2019 Google Business Review
Dr. Walden-Pollina looks forward to educating her teen patients with their oral health care. She also enjoys getting to know her adolescent patients interest and struggles. They are at a great age where they are on the cusp of discovering who they are and we get to be a part of it.
Dr. Walden-Pollina is married and has 4 beautiful children, 2 girl and 2 boys in between the ages of 12-21 years old. In her spare time, she enjoys watching her childrens youth sporting events, such as track, volleyball, tennis, and football.

We love Dr. Walden at Dentistry for Children. After having a bad experience at our previous dentist my teen daughter refused to go back. So I was on the search for a new dentist. I am so glad that we found Dr. Walden she truly cares about each patient and makes sure that they are comfortable and not a nervous wreck. March 2018 Facebook review
