Always very happy with and grateful for the care I receive at Swarthmore Smiles. Thanks to Shannon's brilliant suggestion my painfully sensitive teeth are barely problematic at all anymore!

Dr. Forwood and his staff are absolutely wonderful! Our entire family (toddlers, kids, parents) has a great experience in this office. As a bonus, Dr. Forwood comes from a dental family so has a unique perspective on specialties outside of family dentistry, namely orthodontics. The staff is not pushy with sales, and really seems to have our best interests at heart.
