Modern, proven pediatric dental care in a compassionate, friendly, and gentle environment. No more tears! My son had been going to our family dentist for a couple of years and each visit was filled with so such much anxiety and fear that he wouldn't even sit in the exam chair alone. On the recommendation of a good. For many children, sports are a central part of their life, beginning as soon as they can swing a (plastic) bat and lasting through their. As parents, we strive to routinely provide our children with nutritious snacks, while also allowing them the occasional indulgence to feed that sweet or salty.
Services
Routine dental cleanings are the heart of what we do and the first step towards building a foundation of good oral hygiene. Following the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) guidelines, your child should visit the dentist every 6 months or sooner, depending on their individual dental health needs.
From the moment you arrive to our practice, our goal is to make the visit comfortable and enjoyable for you and your child. Our doctors, hygienists, and staff make a special effort to work at your child's pace, using a gentle, reassuring approach to make your child feel safe and at ease during his or her appointment.
Best dentist ever! I'm 14 years old and used to hate going to the dentist, but Dr. Downey and the staff are so nice it makes it enjoyable to go. I'm not saying I count the days until I go, but I always leave feeling fresh and clean. There is no worse feeling as a parent than seeing your child hurt, bleeding, and in pain, but that was us when our 3 year old fell at a trip to grandmas house.
For a bright, healthy smile, the American Dental Association recommends visiting the dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings. At Behind the Smile Dentistry for Children, we stress preventive dental practices, teaching children at an early age the importance of keeping their teeth and gums healthy and strong.

Update. After multiple phone calls, the manager was able to understand the miscommunication and wave the fees. It was much appreciated and we appreciated the business understanding the failure to communicate better. After Worst place to take your child. When I called I was told they take our insurance. When we checked out after her visit they said no charge all good to go. 4 months after our daughters visit we received a bill saying it was not covered.
The customer service is truly a 0 star. The receptionist gave different answers every time we called to discuss the issue. And to top it off they told us they were adding a late fee onto the bill. Please take your child elsewhere. The cleaning itself was also very judgemental on what we were not "doing well" as parents to a 2 year old as far as food.

Behind the smile dental at Amberglen is the BEST dental practice for kids! The entire staff is so friendly, welcoming and helpful. I always feel very confident that they will take great care of my little ones. My 3.5 year old twins, Chance and Kiyana, absolutely love going to the dentist and it is because of this office. Thank you so much!

We've been visiting this dentist for 5 years or so and we absolutely LOVE them! They are great with the kids and after every visit the kids get to pick out a small toy. My kids actually look forward to going to the dentist! I love how they take time to explain everything to me and answer questions in detail. We've always had a great experience here, every time.

We were referred here by our family dentist for a second opinion on my daughter's hypocalcified teeth, one of which had started chipping. We saw Dr. Carolyn. Because of COVID-19, I was not allowed to go into the building with my daughter. The exam was very quick since they just needed to take x-rays and do visual inspection; our regular family dentist had already done a cleaning and fluoride treatment.
My daughter came out super happy and excited about the toy prize she was given. I then spoke to Dr. Carolyn at length about what was going on with her teeth and feel like she more than addressed my concerns. She explained the situation clearly and made me feel very comfortable with the plan for her hypocalcified teeth. Based on that alone, the whole experience is rated 5 stars, but it actually gets better. Dr. Carolyn then brought up my daughter's oversized tonsils and we talked about her snoring/teeth grinding issues.
She gave me referrals for an orthodontist and throat specialist and helped dispel some uncertainty I had regarding when to pursue orthodontic treatment. When I asked about continued care, specifically if my daughter needed to have all her future prophylactic exams there, Dr. Carolyn said, no, we can and should continue seeing our family dentist for regular cleanings and that she trusted that our dentist would refer us back if her expertise was needed.
I was so impressed at the time and attention that Dr. Carolyn gave to me and my daughter without expecting us to continue at the clinic as her patient. That to me demonstrates a strong integrity to the profession and deserves to be applauded.

My kids are always excited when they have dental appointments because they love everything about Behind the Smile. The staff is and always has been extremely friendly, patient, and helpful. They always ask the kids what they'd like to help the entire process go smoothly.from tv shows to watch during the cleaning, to which flavor fluoride they want to the variety of toys to choose from at the end of the appointment.
They are great about time management and everything has always ran smoothly. I was very impressed with their new system with Covid rules. I can't recommend this dentistry enough!

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Carolyn, Dr. Downey and Dr. Ashley for close to 10 years. During that time, she has had 2 dental emergencies (traumas), and both times the doctors and team members have shown up after hours, and even on holidays, to take speedy, compassionate, amazing care of her. The staff are always so pleasant, helpful and understanding.
My daughter has an incredible idea and relationship with dentistry due to these relationships, even after her traumas, and, as such, has developed healthy dental habits and oral hygiene. We, whole heartedly, appreciate the Behind the Smile team.
