Tweedy Christine, DDS MSD

We love Dr Tweedy. My 2 year old son had to have a tooth pulled and it went as well as it possibly could have. Tweedy handled it amazingly and seemed to genuinely care about my son’s feelings.

The best pediatric dentist in West Seattle, if not all of Seattle. We were lucky to get referred to Dr. Tweedy’s office when we first moved here in 08, and we’ve gone back 2x a year ever since (my kid is 8 years old now).
I really attribute my utter lack of fear with regard to dentists to my having had an awesome pediatric dentist when I was growing up back in Southern CA in the 70’s. I love going the dentist to this day (and I’m OLD people!). If I could go once a month for a cleaning, I would. Yup. I’m weird like that. But hey, teeth are important!
My daughter started out at my childhood dentists’ office in CA, and then moved to Dr. Tweedy by age 3. She loves the dentist too. Of course she does! How could she not? These guys/​gals let the kids wear sunglasses to keep the bright overhead lighting out of their eyes, they get to choose from 4 or 5 different toothpaste flavors (cherry, bubblegum, chocolate, etc.), they get to choose a new toothbrush AND a toy when they check out.
Just a great experience overall. And if you believe in getting the best dental care for your kids, from the arrival of their first tooth, to their last (and I *do*!), then you really can’t go wrong with giving them a good foundation with a pediatric dental practice like Dr. Tweedy’s — the earlier the better — to avoid DDS fears later in life.
Just DO be aware that they book up really far in advance, so you may have to wait a few months (yes MONTHS) to get in to your first appointment. If you know this ahead of time, you’ll avoid frustration when you go to make a regular appointment and they tell you, «sorry, we can’t see you until September!».

Both my kids have been patients of Dr. Tweedy’s since they were babies, and we love her, as well as all the hygienists we have seen. Dr. Tweedy even met us at the office and took care of my daughter in the evening once when she had a dental emergency. I highly recommend her!

My 5 year old daughter really looks forward to going to the dentist. We are comfortable with all of the hygienists. Dr. Tweedy and Dr. Li are wonderful wtih kids, very quiet and patient. My 10 year old son is not as enthusiastic because he’s had some cavities, but he doesn’t mind going, either. I recommend Dr. Tweedy to everyone.

Both dentists here, Dr. Tweedy and Dr. Li, are very good with children of all ages and very competent dentists. The atmosphere is kid-​friendly and parents can stay with thier child during procedures. The kids get a little «prize» from a gumball-​like machine at the end of each visit. The place in general could use a good cleaning. The ladies who clean the kids teeth are dental techs, NOT dental hygenists and I did not feel they did a thorough job. I now take my child elsewhere for cleanings. They actually touched dental instruments to my child’s (unwashed) hand and then put them back on the tray before pulling a tooth. When I asked them to replace the instruments and wash their hands, they reluctantly washed, but did not replace or sanitize the instruments. The dentists are great, but the techs have room for improvement… and unless your child has a lot of cavities, you will see the techs most often.

Good pediatric dentist. Especially for kids with dentist-​phobia.
