If a childs mouth is to develop and grow properly, the first (primary) teeth must be healthy. Please realize that x-rays enable the dentist to thoroughly examine and condition a patient for treatment. Moreover, this is an easier introduction to dentistry rather than rushing into the mouth with instruments.
On completion of these procedures, your child will be examined by Dr. Vann, Dr. Thornton, or Dr. Jenkins, and the condition of your childs mouth will then be related to you. If you prefer a specific doctor, please inform the assistant who calls your child back to the treatment room otherwise, either or all doctors may examine your child.
We find as a general rule, that children enjoy being the center of attention. As a result of this desire, they cooperate better if the parent does not accompany them into the treatment room. Let your child enjoy His or Her Day. The doctors, hygienists, and assistants will discuss your childs dental health with you at the proper time.
The main purpose of the first dental visit is to provide your family with the knowledge of how to care properly for your childs teeth now and in the future. We encourage you to ask us any questions you may have regarding your childs teeth or hygiene techniques. We want this first visit to be educational and fun for both your child and the rest of the family.

I wanted to take a few minutes to express how much I appreciate EVERYTHING about my experience at this dentist office. It has been the best experience I have ever had. I have never posted a review but felt like this should be known. It's hard to find a caring place where EVERYONE is caring, compassionate and knowledgeable as soon as you enter the door, in addition to good work. I would recommend this dentist office over ANY pediatric dentist in Montgomery and I will continue with them until all 5 of my small kids are not in need of a pediatric dentist. Again, thank you Dentists 4 Children.

My son, 4, was referred to this place back in September, he has some cavities that need to be fixed and a tooth to be removed. He had to have surgery, I was overseas during this time, so my husband had to be there. However as a military man he could not miss a class he had scheduled that day ( he didn't pick the schedule and was not allowed to miss it) but as it was scheduled my son was supposed to have surgery and be out well before my husband's class. 4 hours go by and it is approaching noon, keep in mind my son had not eaten since the night prior and we live an hr away. He was starving but since he was going to be knocked out he could not have anything on his belly. No notice or anything from the nursing staff or anyone about when he surgery would be after an hr past his scheduled time....no communication at all. It came time for my husband to be heading back to Fort Rucker an hr away and STILL no one spoke. My husband explained the situation and was told if they left my son would be removed from their practice and never seen again. My son is in pain still because they could not be bothered to reschedule anything. Just kicked from the dentisity. For a place of business that is for kids. You sure don't act like it. I understand my husband canceled the day of surgery but no one would even listen to why he could not stay or reschedule. Even today when I got a reminder call from them for a check up appointment they scheduled, the lady was rude and did not answer my question and deleted the mistake appointment even when I told her he was in PAIN, because I asked to accept him back and we could get his teeth fixed since I am back in the states. Businesses like this turn my stomach. LIFE HAPPENS Communication is key for running a business. I hope who ever made this rule for this place would wake up and relise its not all or nothing. A reschedule sucks yes, but LIFE happens and we were not even upset about it. We understand things happen. But you let a baby, a 4 year old child go hungry for half a day not even allowed water! Jut to removed him as a patient because you could not keep your scheduled appointments. Or be bothered to SPEAK to anyone. SHAME ON YOU!

I have to give a shout out to Dentists 4 Children. My grandson was very nervous when told he had an abscessed baby tooth that needed to be removed before it damaged his permanent tooth. Not sure where to go, we contacted Dentists 4 Children. The office staff was very helpful in the appointment process, getting him in quickly. Even though my grandson was terrified of the unknown , the staff eased his fear of having a tooth removed, reassuring him he was going to be fine. My grandson came out smiling, and stated it didn't even hurt. They also found some other dental issues that needed to be address. He had such a great experience that it was no hassle getting him back for his next visit. If you are looking for a professional dentist office for kids, I encourage you to give Dentist 4 Children a try. Dr. Thornton and her staff is amazing! I just had to brag and say "Thank you" for making my grandson's experience a good one to remember:)!!

I had a dental emergency and Dr Thornton was able to fit me in that day and fix my teeth. She and her staff were incredibly professional and were exceptionally kind to me as I was very anxious during this visit. They even had an iPad with movies on it that helped to distract me during my visit. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for exceptional pediatric dental care.

Professional, friendly, and compassionate staff! My 3 year old loved the entire staff. As we were leaving, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Dentist!" to all the women that were working. Lol! Great experience for my toddler!
