Our caring and knowledgeable staff focuses on creating a comfortable environment for you and your child. From our fully digital and state-of-the-art office, Dr. Pike cares for all children from infancy to adolescence.
A visit to the dental office presents the young child with a lot of new and unfamiliar experiences. All efforts will be made to gain the confidence and cooperation of our patients by warmth, humor, explanation and friendly persuasion. High quality dental care for children is our goal. Our office will make a great effort to ensure that your child feels comfortable in these new surroundings.
A parent is welcome to accompany their child on their first visit to view our office and to meet Dr. Pike and the staff. Parents are also welcome to accompany their child on subsequent visits as long as they remain a silent observer in order to allow Dr. Pike to communicate with the patient. For the safety and privacy of all patients, other children and family members who are not being treated must remain in the reception area with a supervising adult.
Dr. Pike will provide information at the first visit on what products will be best suited for your child. Dr Pike focuses on organic and all natural products for teething, tooth brushing, etc. Dr Pike believes in safe, non-toxic products are the best for all children. All products used in our office are latex free and gluten free.
X-rays detect much more than cavities. For example, X-rays may be needed to examine erupting teeth, diagnose bone diseases, evaluate the results of an injury or plan orthodontic treatment. X-rays allow Dr. Pike to diagnose and treat conditions that cannot be detected during a clinical examination. If dental problems are found and treated early, dental care is more comfortable and affordable.
Patients cannot feel pain with small cavities in between their teeth. With the use of x-rays, Dr. Pike can determine whether or not small cavities are present and can recommend multiple options of treatment (not just drilling and filling). Finding cavities early will help prevent treatment such as root canals and crowns.
The frequency of x-ray films is determined by your childs individual needs. Dr. Pike does not treat every patient the same. Dr. Pike's equipment filters out unnecessary x-rays and restricts the x-ray beam to the area of interest. Dr. Pike uses digital x-rays and proper shielding to assure that your child receives a minimal amount of radiation exposure.

Very inconsistent on the information I was given, I made an appt for a cleaning, X-rays again 2x in a year which is too much on 13 year old and 1 filling, I took a day off from work and my child a day off from school and let's just say I was presented with a 4000 treatment plan upon my arrival and asked to sign it, I refused, then I was presented with another treatment plan of 3000 I refused to sign that, my daughters ortho verified my daughter had one cavity and the rest are soft spots, so why am I being told to sign a treatment plan for 4k, I won't be back. And this whole thing about insisting wires are taken out to X-ray my daughter because she wears braces is absurd, I had to run around all day to the ortho and deal with the wire being taken out and put back. I wore braces 35 years ago for 4 years and so did my 2 sisters and my mother and we never removed wires for X-rays, we all had braces and never ever did we remove wires.

So glad we switched to this dentist!! The kids names were on the board to welcome them, the front desk staff was so friendly and welcoming. They have Netflix and asked what would be appropriate to put on for the kiddos while I filled out the new paperwork. Previously we were at a regular dentist for the kids for convenience but let me tell you, happy kids = way more convenient!! They were so excited to follow the bubble trail back to the cleaning room. The part I love the most is I can sit with both kids at the same time (see pics) while they get their teeth done.

The kindest staff and the most kid friendly dentist I have experienced. All the best toothpaste flavors, including chocolate and cotton candy! My 2 young kids have been coming here for years. I recomend this dentist.

After going this clinic for almost 2 years and getting treatments for my kids, I am regretting why I was going there. Even you don't own your own receipts (invoices). You're not accepting your mistake nor ready to listen. If insurance is not paying a procedure, how they can fix my price and if I agree to pay an amount how dare you're to raise the price after weeks of getting the treatment.

We have switched to Pike after moving to Boca Raton less than a year ago. The visits we have had have all been pleasant and the kids are actually excited to go back. The staff is incredibly accommodating and professional but still fun for the little ones. The doctors are thorough and the facility is extremely clean and high tech. I highly recommend.

The office is really perfect for kids! It's adapted for them - toys, Disney movies/TV, stuffed animals, low sinks, etc. Its really well done. And the staff!? The hygienist and doctor were both really amazing! One star less for (very often) rude receptionists/phone calls.

Dr. Pike and her staff are amazing! I wish she had been in business when my other kids were young. Dr. Pike and her staff have always been so patient and sweet with my high anxiety dental phobic child. My daughter is terrified of needles but Dr. Pike is as stealthy as a ninja and my daughter never sees the needle. They also take their time with numbing the areas so she doesn't feel a thing. Now my daughter doesn't bat an eye when I say she has a dentist appointment. Their office is always clean and friendly. I'm so happy we found Dr. Pike and I highly recommend her!

I highly recommend Pike pediatric dentistry. The staff was very friendly. I took my 3 yo daughter for her annual cleaning. I have never seen her have such a fun time. The dr and assistant were very caring and explained everything to her in a way that even I wasn't scared to go to the dentist again :) they really impressed me. My daughter had very positive experience and i know she'll gladly come back for her next check up. Thank you so much truly appreciate the patience and kindness

Excellent staff and Dr in all aspects. Some people are highly affected and defensive over their children and sometimes do not see the truth or medical advice and recommendations to help. This is detrimental to a business, especially one that works hard and cares a lot about each and every patient.

My 4-year-old daughter just got her checkup, cleaning, and also FLOSSING done without any crying. I'm shocked and excited that we found our new pediatric dentist! They're extremely clean (I don't know if always or just due to COVID) and the staff were extremely friendly.

The WORST! After going to Dr Pike for a few years and being shamed into embarrassment for not buying their $20 toothpaste or allowing my child to eat Raisins. My son had an abscess an had to have a tooth pulled. Dr Pike places a Space Maintainer. Since the Maintainer was placed, we began going to another dentist that we are much happier with. I called Dr Pike's office to schedule the Maintainer to be removed due to the baby tooth in front falling out, and we were told she wont see him. Since we have seen another Dentist she refuses to remove the Maintainer or even see him. The poor child is suffering.! How dare you tell me I am forced to stay with you as a dentist?! We were unhappy with you, that is why we found someone else. Clearly we made the right decision and left when we did. You clearly don't care about the children as you state you do. This is so unacceptable and unprofessional!

We made recent trip Pike Dentistry to pull my 5 yr old's baby tooth to allow adult tooth to properly drop went extremely well. The staff had my daughter at ease the entire time. Dr. Pike was superb! She was so good with diverting attention that my daughter didn't even know she received numbing shots to the gum area and had her tooth pulled. Amazing!!! Highly recommend.

I heard Dr. Pike talking about how bad of a patient my child is to one of her staff members, you call this professional?? We found another dentist, I suggest you do the same. She gives off an attitude, and you can tell that attitude is given to her employees as well.
