Tri-City Children’s Dentistry

The dentist and staff are amazing with the kids, and my children enjoy going to the dentist now. We previously were at another local dental office, and my kids absolutely hated going because the wait times were so extremely long. On our last visit my oldest son with special needs had a filling put in, and he took the time to discuss with me the individual plan and approach he would take. The procedure went completely as planned, and the level of attention given to my son during was top-​notch!

Previous dentist was not a positive experience but this office was great. The hygienist took time to help my 4 year old feel comfortable. They use age appropriate language. They read a book to my daughter about sugar bugs and let her choose her prize. The dentist was kind, thoughtful and new how to be silly to put my daughter at ease. So glad we found this office!

We just had my 1.5 year old sons first dentist appointment here. I was nervous to bring him in because he is a wild little man and I wasn’t sure how he would do. Dr Vasquez and his staff were amazing with him! Super friendly, knowledgeable and patient! I definitely recommend bringing your little ones here!

Changing my rating due to the unprofessionalism on whomever handles their billing in the office and the not so friendly lady who answered. Barely a week notice received that our insurance didn’t cover $ 24.00 and the office needed payment that we shortly received a notice threatening collections. Both my husband and I have zero bad credit that this is enough to warrant never taking our children back for further services. To think it took 6-​months or so to pick this dental office to not even a year back in Ca that they loose my business. Bill was paid, but to threaten collections after not even a week notice, from their office on payment due, is just crazy. My suggestion to the office is to collect whatever is due before they have a patient and their parent leave the facility rather than jump to threaten collections on a barely sent bill.

I had terrible dental experiences as a child, so it was important to me to find someplace that would set my kids up to feel comfortable going to the dentist for the first time. My toddlers (4 and 3) tend to be quite anxious, but everyone from the office staff to the dentist himself was wonderful at making them feel relaxed. The first time I tried to take my older child for a cleaning the babysitter I had lined up for the baby didn’t show up. The office staff encouraged me to bring her anyhow and was amazing at calming me down after such a panicked morning, and nobody seemed to mind my double stroller in the hallway or my baby who I’d had to wake up from a nap to bring along. It can be hard to schedule appointments when you have multiple kids and I appreciated their flexibility and genuine love of children.
Both of my kids recently had more extensive dental work done there (sealants and fillings) and I was incredibly impressed at how gentle and efficient the dentist and his hygienist were (I truly wish they could do MY dental work! I’ve never had a dentist be that kind and quick before!). The office staff has been great at remembering my kids and making us feel welcome every time we come, but more importantly they’ve also been great at explaining our complicated insurance issues to me and helping me figure out what I need to do to get things taken care of.
I did a lot of research before deciding where to take my kids, and I’m so thankful that in this case it totally paid off. Their office, while decorated for kids, doesn’t have quite as many bells and whistles as some of the other pediatric dentists offices I looked at. But my kids love playing in the clubhouse and I’d trade fancy video game systems for such a welcoming environment any day! If our insurance ever changes I’d pay out of pocket to continue taking my kids here just to make my life more pleasant and ensure my kids grow up feeling like the dentist’s office is a safe place and not a torture chamber! ;)

Best Dental Office Ever! Not only does the Dr. take the time to explain everything to me, my kids were totally comfortable here. Both the back office and Front office are beyond sweet and always go the extra mile to make sure that my experience is the easiest. (Even willing to help with little ones so that parents can focus with the Dr on older siblings.) Cant wait to come back in 6 months.

The best dentist my kids ever have been to. The staff is extremely friendly and they know their job. It is very important to me that my kids are happy and they are very very comfortable at this dentist office I would refer as many people as I know to this dentist I have never been so comfortable at a dentist office before, they even take adults I just wish they took my insurance I still give them a five star rating because they are so friendly and knowledgeable about their job. They made me feel so comfortable and my kids I love it here and I used to bring my daughter here when she was a child and she is 19 years old now. If you know anybody that needs a dentist send them here. This place is awesome!

I absolutely love this dentist office and so does my 5 year old! The entire staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I feel like they have helped me out with making sure my child’s dental needs are met. They make our time at the office extremely enjoyable. We both love when it’s time to go to the dentist. Even when cavities are being filled, my child still has a great time. I don’t know how they do it but they’re great with children. If your child needs a dentist or hates going to the dentist, you need to try this place!

Today was our first visit at Tri-​City Children’s Dentistry. My son is six and is no rookie at the dentist but it seems to be anxiety provoking for most kids regardless. The office is awesome and totally kid friendly and the staff is warm and nice also. My son had X-​rays and cleaning/​polishing/​fluoride– he was a bit antsy but they were friendly and understanding. The assistant was great– and offered me advice and showed me trouble areas we weren’t cleaning well enough with the toothbrush in a non judgmental way. After all– we are all doing our best right? The doc was awesome. He reviewed X-​rays with me and explained in detail what should be going on in my son’s mouth over the next few months to years. Still in the no cavity club yay! The doc explained some possible orthodontia needs in the future which is always good to know ahead of time! I’m very happy I found this office. My son is still talking about it several hours later!

My six year old son had work done here. The dentist and staff are amazing. The ladies are extremely personable and everyone is very knowledgeable. This establishment has a excellent reputation and I can see why. My son even bit the dentist (to my embarrassment) but the dentist took it like a champ, to say the least. I would recommend taking your child here for the high quality service and care they give.

Top notch dentist and staff! We’ve been going here for years. My kids 14, 12, 10 are all comfortable with coming here. The staff is really helpful with the kids and great with communication.

Today was my sons first visit. Very nice. Cynthia made him feel comfortable and they were speedy. Glad to have made the change over here.

Dr. Vasquez is super chill and professional. The office staff are nice and handle things quickly and efficiently. My kids (ages 2 & 4) enjoyed their dental experience here and had a great time in the office. I would definitely recommend this kid friendly dental office!

I was shopping around for a new dentist for my two boys after moving here. I was told to check this place out, so I took the plunge. And I am glad I did. My boys felt totally comfortable here, which makes me feel good about bringing them in. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, and patient with my little guy as well. We’ll definitely be coming back here in 6 months!

Always a pleasure to take my daughter to her dentist appointments! Very friendly staff and Dr! Definitely recommend it to everyone that has kids

Dr Vasquez and his team were so very nice. They took great care of my 4 year old and we are very happy! I would recommend to all my friends with children for sure. There is a play area for the children and the customer service was first rate.

First visit was great, then they kept coming up with more and more excuses to charge us with something else. Extra X-ray’s, insane charge for a no show. Things happen, they don’t seem to care. He didn’t believe me when I told him I took my son to an orthodontic consult. Completely insulting, he’s rude but does it with a smile! Friend of mine had the same issues and constantly had to dispute charges. See them if you like, staff is sweet, just feel like the doc was a total fake and money hungry. If you choose them hope you have better luck.

Dr V able to «tame» my tiger who’d not been to a dentist for too long. Great sensitivity from he & staff. Will look forward to the ongoing efforts and relationship here.

This is a fantastic children’s dentist. My son had both his front teeth removed (after an accident), and Dr. Vasquez was great. He and his fantastic staff made my son (and I) feel at ease during the entire visit. They answered all our questions, and were very helpful. They have 3-​level play area, with toys for the little ones and video games for the olders. My son actually enjoys coming to the dentist now. Thanks so much!

Hands down, the best Pediatric dentist! I chose this dentist office because of the reviews on Unilocal.I used to take my kids to a new practice in Carlsbad, just because of their location. We’ve been with Dr. Vasquez practice for about a year now, and my kids enjoy seeing him. One of the reasons I chose Tri-​City Children’s dentistry is because he works well with children and kids special needs. My youngest daughter age 5, is high functioning, is terrified of any doctor. Till this day, she cries and hides. Dr. Vasquez and his staff are so PATIENT with her, that they end up working around her, when she is ready! The staff doesn’t mind her walking around, so that she can get acquainted! The only way she wants to be examined by the dentist and his staff is in the x-​ray chair sitting up and they don’t seem to mind! My daughter will not lay down in the patient’s chair because she had a horrible experience at the previous dentist where the staff and I had to hold her down. Dr. Vasquez also told us to come in and visit or just hangout whenever we want, so she can get used to going every 6 months and have my daughter’s teeth looked at with no office visit fee.
I love how Dr. Vasquez and his staff bribes her with stickers and coins for the prize machine! We always leave with a ton of toothbrushes, stickers, and prizes! My kids always leave his office with a big smile on their face! Thank you Tri City Children’s Dentistry!
