Took my 4yr old to her first dental appointment here and I have nothing but Great things to say. Everyone was so very friendly and took the time to explain what they were going to do and to my baby girl's teeth and she was very comfortable. Answered all my questions and took the time to listen to all my concerns. Dr. Jackson and the dental hygienists were just Great! Thank you for a very great 1st time dental experience for my 4yr old today. She is looking forward to her next dentist appointment!

I had a bad experience with this dentist and I want to share it with everyone. Normally I don't do review but I have to do this one. My ten year old son have been going to this dentist for a very long time. The doctor assistant told us that the doctor found cavity in five of my son teeth and it needed to be fill. Four of the teeth was his permanent teeth and one was his baby tooth. I schedule my son to go in for the appointment to get his teeth fill. When I go to the dentist that day I asked to see the doctor so he could show me the five teeth that have the cavity and needed to be fill. The doctor came to the room where me and my son was waiting and started to show me around the gum area of my son teeth. The doctor was picking around the gum area showing me that these things are cavity. I said to the doctor no those stuff are food that my son eat today. My son just needed to brush his teeth. I said to the doctor that I needed a second opinion on this. The doctor stop right away when I said this and don't bother to finish show me all the five teeth that he was going to fill and said to me just go and get an opinion on the whole thing.Then I left the dentist that day and a week later they sent me a certified letter in the mail. When I read the letter it stated that they will no longer provide dental care for my children. I must seek services of another dentist office as soon as possible. They also said they can't provide dental care for my daughter also and my daughter don't have nothing to do with this situation with my son. It looks like they don't want people like me to come to their dentist who are not going to listen to them and do what they say and speak your own opinion. It looks like they want people to come to their dentist who are going to listen to them and do what they say.I took my son to a new dentist two days ago and the new dentist only find cavity in one of my son tooth not five as what this dentist told me. I know some thing was not right.That's why I was never too glad to fill the five teeth when they told me that my son have cavity in them.

My kids are usually nervous going to the dentist but not one bit here! They were so gentle and caring here that my kids loved their experience! Fantastic hygienists, dentist, front desk! Thank you!

My 2 yr old fell and cracked his tooth on the concrete. They were able to work us in to their schedule on very short notice and were so polite and patient with me since I was still in full-blown mom guilt mode. They explained our options and what the prices would be to get him taken care of. They used gas on him when they extracted the tooth and he came out of the room with a balloon, two bouncy balls, and two stickers in hand with a giant snagglepuss smile on his face. When we went back in for a follow-up and cleaning they were great with him and he now asks daily if we get to go back to the "tooth fairy doctor". I highly recommend this practice.

Just took my 5yo son for his first visit and they were awesome. The hygienist explained everything to him and showed him what all the tools were. He did great and it was a total non-issue.

My son has been been a patient of Young Smiles Dentistry since the practice opened - about 10 years now. He is a nonverbal teen with autism, and the staff has always been very kind and patient with him such that his check-ups are an easy and great experience. I really appreciate that Dr. Jackson accommodates him with a private room for his check-ups and plays a favorite DVD to help keep him calm during his cleanings. Always a great experience -- thanks so much!

I took my daughter here for her very first dental appointment. The staff are very understanding of toddlers and young children. My daughter is 2 and shes a handful. She didn't want to lean back in the chair and they just rolled with the punches and worked around how she wanted to sit. Miss Lee explained what she was doing with every new tool. I also love that they let parents go back with small children. I would HIGHLY reccomend taking young children to this office.
