Beach Kids Dentistry

Today was my son’s first time at this office after moving from GA. The dental assistant, Amber, was super sweet and interactive with my 2 year old. She let him hold and familiarize himself with some of the tools they’d be using. They were also very patient. The dentist, Ashley, was also very personable and helped me with my questions about breast feeding and teeth as well as other concerns about my son’s teeth. I also love the technique they used in order to look inside his mouth since he was not comfortable laying back in the chair. It made my son feel more comfortable to be able to look at me while they checked out his teeth. Upon leaving they also gave me a Polaroid to remember my son’s first appointment!

My daughters first appointment at Beach Kids Dentistry was an absolute dream! She is only a year and a half old and I was definitely nervous thinking about how she would react. The staff was FABULOUS! Everyone was friendly. When they called us back the nurse, Kayla, took a Polaroid picture of my daughter and gave it to her to take home. She was also aloud to choose a sticker while waiting for the dentist. Before her exam Dr. Ashley came over and showed her everything that she would be using so that she wouldn't be scared. She showed my daughter her gloves, let her touch them, let her watch her put them on, and showed her some of her tools. For her actual exam they let her stay in my lap, go knees to knees with the doctor, and lean my daughter back into her lap so that she didn't have the additional fear of sitting in the dental chair for her first visit. Dr. Ashley was quick, efficient, thorough, informative, and patient. After the appointment they gave my daughter a "ticket" with her name on it to drop into a large fish bowl for a drawing later, and let her choose a toy for doing so well. They assured me that we will go at her pace over her next few appointments to transition her to sitting in the dental chair, brushing her teeth with a regular toothbrush, and then moving to the circular brush. After only one appointment I completely understand why their reviews are so good. I am glad so that we chose this dentist and we will definitely be back!!
