Amazing staff. Dr Younger has been treating our son ( who has a severe disability ) for many years and our other 4 children. We have been so grateful to have a dentist who is so caring and invested in her patients. I would recommend this practice to anyone - they would be equally as impressed as we are.
My first grader is terribly fearful. The staff in this office have the most patience I have ever seen, far beyond my own mommy magic! They didn t rush or pressure her, explained everything they did before they touched her, earning her trust and providing comfort! There are not enough praises for our experience there! The dentist is fast and did an amazing job!
This dental visit was our first and last here. First I want to say, the hygienist was absolutely sweet and lovely, the dentist was very good with my 4.5 year old son.
That being said, from top to bottom the experience for me was awful. I was shamed by the receptionist for not taking my son to the dentist over and over, even when I tried to explain that my mother is a hygienist and often looks at his teeth and advises me, my kids do not drink any juice or any gummy candies etc. she over and over kept criticizing me in front of my son for not bringing him. And over all she was unfriendly on top of not explaining the paperwork I was supposed to be filling out.
Then the dentist did the same exact thing but WORSE. My son does not like to be touched by strangers so he was very wiggley and upset during the exam, I knew he would be. She said that s why we suggest you bring them from babies, if you had been doing that, he wouldn t be acting this way. I m his mother, I do not need that kind of input from a stranger that knows ZERO about us. There were at least 4-5 more comments like that before we left.
By the way, this entire time I was being pushed by the receptionist and dentist to make him cleaning appointments.. over and over. I understand it s also a business and they want people coming back but maybe they should think about that before chastising mothers and care givers for making their own choices with their children.
We will not be going back for any reason.
Everyone there is so friendly and the hygienists and dentist are so awesome with my daughter and son. They take good care of my kids.
Entire staff, just amazing!
I feel so comfortable with our dentist and I really feel like we are a team. Today was sooooo hard. Tooth extraction on my 5 year old. These folks from receptionist to hygienist to dentist are just fantastic!
The staff and dentist are so nice and make my kids feel at home.
I have a special needs Granddaughter, Monica, who is 7, non verbal, autism. We had gone before several times with Dr Megan. Today, we met with Dr. Leila Younger who allowed me to bring her in same day. Monica has been hitting her face while I feed her, and she had a loose tooth that wasn't coming out. I assumed the adult tooth was growing in and putting pressure on her. Dr. Younger was so kind, and patience with Monica. Monica, is also very sensitive and can take on 4-5 adults kicking and screaming if she doesn't want to be examined. But First Smiles Dental has special needs training. They know exactly what to say during the visit where we don't have to restrain her! In 15 min, she was examined, gel to numb the gums, pulled the loose tooth, and got her to bite down on the swab! Anyone with Special needs kids understand this is next to miracle. Monica was happy as we left, and gave everyone a big grin. The entire staff is nice, and the office is very open and welcoming. Thank you so much!
I was very pleased with our recent visit. My son is very afraid of needles and has sensory issues. He needed to have a cavity filled and the staff was so great! They took the extra time before the appointment to walk me through the process and options and answered all my questions so that I was able to prepare my son for the procedure. The staff also did an awesome job of talking my son through the procedure and kept him calm the whole time! They definitely turned a potentially horrible experience into a positive one for my son! Thanks so much!
We have been taking our 9 year old to First smiles dental since he was about 3. Now my 5 year old and 2 year old go there as well and we love it there. They always make my boys feel very comfortable and at ease, and my boys are always excited for a prize at the end of the appointment. Would highly recommend!
