Everyone at KidZdent is amazing! Their front desk helped me understand my charges and checked on my insurance co-pays. Their hygienists are fun and very thorough when it comes to explaining everything they were doing for my two daughters. Drs. Reem and Lau answered all my concerns! I highly recommend this practice FIVE STARS PLUS

I’ve been going to Kidzdent ever since I could remember. My past few visits have been progressively getting worse. I had a hygienist a few times and she was very very rough on my teeth and gums. This time I had a different hygienist and she really hurt my gums, flossed half my teeth, and didn’t know how to floss/clean with my permanent retainer.

Really professional and kid friendly office. We've tried a few other dentists in the past for my son, but since he's not an easy patient it took a few bad experiences before we found kidzdent. We've been going there for 8 years and both are super happy with their professionalism and care.

All they want to do is push push push for x-Rays on my children from the second they walk in and when I told them that it was my opinion to not have them get them (due to radiation exposure at a young age) they basically kept telling me throughout the cleaning and the meeting with the dentist that my appointment was about half as useful as it should be. They are pushing for a tongue tied procedure to be done there which we checked with an ENT & another dentist who said it was unnecessary.

EVERYONE at the office is friendly and helpful. From the second you walk in to the minute you leave it is a comfortable and friendly experience. Dental hygienist Irene is amazing and we request her every time. She is calm and patient with my daughter, making her feel safe and comfortable. My daughter used to be petrified to go to the dentist. Now she is happy to go and see Irene. We have seen several dentists and they are all wonderful. I highly recommend KidZdent. They care and it shows!

Excellent experience from start to finish! The staff and doctors at this practice are awesome! Both of my daughters have had everything from regular cleanings, to fillings, to tongue tie surgery, to orthodontics with great results! This practices specializes in dental health from babies through the college years. Their Ortho practice is amazing - Now, that my daughters are done with braces, I am getting them!
