Dentistry for Children

This place is amazing– would recommend to anyone with young kids in a minute! Kids 3 and 4 actually get excited about going to dentist! Wish this place existed when I was a kid!

Fabulous! On time appointments, great communication from the office staff, excited hygienists who explained everything to the kids (thank you Amber and Destiny!) and Dr Lisa Shilman was AMAZING. I’d highly encourage you to give this practice a chance, you won’t want to go anywhere else.

What child would not want to go here? It’s like walking into an animated jungle! My kids were thrilled so we are clients for life.

Took my daughter for her first dentist appointment, she is only 15months old. I didn’t think we where going to get anything done due to her behavior, but Dr. Shilman was able to get her teeth clean, apply varnish, and did a full examination. All the staff was super sweet and made us feel like we were at home.

I brought my 9yo daughter in as well as my 4yo son for his first visit. He can be stubborn and afraid of new things, but they worked so well with him, and both children were able to receive excellent cleanings. Dr. Lisa and the hygienists that work with her were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I was able to be in the same room — just a few feet away — as my children’s teeth were cared for. This was a big plus, as their previous dentists always asked parents to remain in a separate waiting room.

Love Dr. Lisa Shilman! My daughter has been going to her for 2 years now. Very thorough and explains details to her on how to better care for her teeth. 12 years cavity free yay!
Amber the hygienist is amaaazing! From the minute we walk in the door everyone is friendly and helpful. The office is so fun with a treehouse and movie theater inside. There are video games too. My daughter can watch the movie while getting her teeth cleaned and looks forward to their prize wall. Thanks Dr Lisa and team!

Took my daughter today and she was soo nervous but they were so friendly and made her feel right at home!!! I love them!!! Office is VERY kid friendly! !!!

After switching from another Pediatric Dentist due to terrible customer service and long waits despite being the first appointment of the day I am SO HAPPY to find this place. My son LOVES LOVES LOVES it here. Everyone was friendly and efficient, the décor and «entertainment» for kids is phenomenal, and my son (3 years old) has asked when he can go to the dentist again. I think that deserves a 10 STAR rating.
Thank you so much!!! We are thrilled to be patients at this fabulous office.

I am extremely dissatisfied with this location. I chose Children’s Dentistry 12 years ago for my kids when they were a smaller group located in Woodstock, Ga. Over the years, they expanded offices and opened this Crabapple location. Don’t let the cute interior fool you at Crabapple. Inefficient through and through, from scheduling conflicts with long waits to a revolving door of dentists. Expect to be there a min of two hours for minor procedures such as check ups/​cleaning and double that if major work needs to be done. Parents please do your research before choosing. I found a WONDERFUL new office for my kids and am very happy.

LOVE this place! the kids have video games to play while waiting — the place is so cute and inviting. My kids are excited to go to the dentist!
And that isn’t the half of it. The hygienist is incredibly nice — Dr Carlos is incredibly kind and gentle — the kids warm up to him immediately.
Great experience — i love that my kids have had such pleasant first experiences with the dentist. I believe this will help to build a strong foundation for health.

An indoor tree house. «Grass» on the ground. Unicorns in the bathroom. An enchanted fairyland? Almost, save for the addition of Xboxes, Monsters and Aliens on flat screens in every room, and, oh yeah, the faint buzzing of the tools of dentistry.
My son was a little trepidatious for his first visit to the dentist. He hoped it would be just like his favorite episode of Caillou (a show he is no longer allowed to watch after shutting it off one day, and insisting on ice cream for breakfast) in which Caillou, who is also nervous, meets with a female dentist who makes him laugh, then invites him to choose cherry or bubblegum toothpaste for his teeth tickling. When we get there, he is so in awe of seeing a movie in a tree that he just stands there, jaw agape, until his name is called. Ms. Kathleen sits him down, and, almost on cue, he is giggling, and she is asking if he wants cherry or bubblegum. She quickly and efficiently polishes his teeth. He has a very brief meeting with the dentist, «Dr. Carlos», who «counts his teeth» with that usually scary looking metal pic thingy, then sets him loose– but not before giving him a new toothbrush/​floss/​paste, a tshirt, and two tokens to put in the toy dispensers by the back door. While I’m not totally sure how I feel about an ambush of games and multimedia at a doctor’s office, it’s hard to complain with my son’s smile…
