Took my daughter here for her first dental exam. Everyone was very friendly and made her first experience at a dental office fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend you bring your kids here.
Guillermo Cruz
My oldest had a great experience getting his first filling. My youngest is still traumatized by a previous procedure at a different clinic and Kidz Dental did a great job at helping my child feel comfortable.
Fabiola Lizaola
It was my son’s 1st dental appointment and they were so great with him and supportive. He was happy to get a goodie bag, sticker, and prize after his cleaning. No cavities and they give you a raffle ticket! Great set up, kid-friendly and awesome view!

What To Expect on the First Visit
The first appointment is very important to us. Our goal is to create a fun, supportive, non-fearful, and caring environment that allows your child to develop a positive and healthy outlook on dentistry and oral health. Parents play an important role in getting children started with a good attitude toward dental care. One of the use things you can do to help is to be completely natural and easygoing when you tell your child about their appointment.
