Dentistry For Kids

We love this place… a lot. We came here after a bad experience at a kids dentist in Beaverton where my sons tooth was infected and the dentist insisited that our son was making up feeling the pain he was feeling. Anyways we came here and i cant tell you enough how gentle and patient Dr. James was. My son loves coming here and we have started going to the adult side ourselves as a result. Btw the waiting rooms are phenomenal and if we are being honest no one (not even i) want to leave. Each room is soothing and relaxing as well as comfortable. I myself rather give birth than go sit in one of those torture chairs but somehow this office takes all the edge off and makes the experience as pleasant as it can be.

Was not impressed with Dr. James. His office is nice and they obviously spent a lot of money on it. I however, am more concerned with how my child is treated than whether she has an iPad to play on while waiting… I was told my child had a cavity (just one) and would need a crown and possibly a root canal. They suggested that she take some Valium for her next visit, which she has had before with other dentists, but they did not weigh her to get the proper dose. When I asked if they should weigh her, they said «Oh its only 5 mg, I wouldn’t worry about it.» Well when it comes to medication, the child should definitely be weighed whether its 5 mg or 500 mg. I took my child to another dentist for a second opinion on the cavity treatment and the second dentist found two other cavities for a total of 3 (which were not mentioned by Dr. James). Also, the second dentist agreed with the crown and possible root canal, but gave me another option of pulling the tooth (since its a baby tooth). Dr. James did not take the time to explain everything to me or give me any other options or even mention that there were two other cavities in there and what the possible treatment was for those. He seemed to be hurried and didnt spend more than 5 minutes with us. Needless to say, we will be going with another pediatric dentist…

I love the staff and dentists here, Dr James is patient and understanding. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. My kids finally love going to the dentist.

I loved this place so much for my son that I started going here. Getting to watch a movie while getting your teeth cleaned is the best distraction!

My daughter loves going to the dentist! Thank you for making it such a fun and enjoyable experience for her!!!
The rooms are themed, they can watch a movie (current ones no less) and they know how to talk to kids!
If you’re looking for a dentist for your kids, go here!!!

Best pediatric dentist ever! The dr and staff are so wonderful. Everyone is always smiling and happy to be there. Today was our second visit. Our 2 yr old turned in her pacifiers to dr James in exchange for some paci fairy presents (I wrapped and brought). They went over and above getting her excited to be a big girl and blew up balloons, etc. we stayed and played in lobby for an hour after because she didn’t want to leave. Oh and her teeth are healthy. Thanks!

My kids BEG me to go to this office! And this is even after getting a filling — I can’t imagine how this type of office would have cured my dental phobia!

OK… so my insurance changed and I needed to find a new dentist for me. I tried a local dentist on my plan that I received a mailer for. It was HORRIBLE. My first visit didn’t even include a cleaning. They told me I would need to come back for another appointment. I asked for my xrays and went in search of a new dentist. My friend commented wouldn’t it be great if Dentistry for Kids took adults. No joke… the very NEXT day I received a mailer saying they were now taking adult patients.
To my review… It was first and foremost a great experience. They had more updated equipment then the previously mentioned dentist and the xrays weren’t incredibly uncomfortable. The new dentist (sorry, but I can’t remember her name but she looks like Jennifer Gardner) even noticed a missing tooth that had been filled in with shifting teeth. No dentist in the past 20 years have ever figured this out! She also said I didn’t need the 3 fillings the previous dentist recommended I get.
The FUNNIEST part… I was offered a prize off the prize shelf! I also got a grown up prize of a movie ticket. I left there with a huge smile and felt like a kid again.
One note… if you’re an adult… remind them that your insurance isn’t going to cover a fluoride treatment… they have age limits on those!

We just took the kids there yesterday. It was our first time there– and we absolutely love it. From the moment you walk in, it is just like a dream for kids. So much to do, and the staff is so friendly.
My son asked if we could go here every time we go to the dentist (we just moved here), and my daughter who is almost 2 was so good for her first appointment. This actually makes me look forward to bringing them to their next dentist appointment. Now if only they could take on clients my age. ;)
