Kind Words From our Patients
We have been coming here since my son's first tooth. Yesterday he had an awful fall into a park bench and they were able to see my son when we came in this morning and let them know what happened. My son has always been terrified of X-rays but they made him feel so comfortable.
Miriam Huerta
My children's first dental visit here at Kidz Dental Care was such a positive experience! The staff were so warm and patient, making sure my little ones felt comfortable every step of the way. The clinic had a friendly atmosphere.
Khey Aguilar
Loved how quick we were seen (my two daughters). The dental assistants were friendly and thorough with what was needed to be done. The doctor was welcoming as well as gave suggestions on what to do to salvage the girls teeth before they develop a cavity.
Ana Hernandez
Such an amazing experience here for my children. They were so professional and kind, quickly did their dental work with no tears. I was extremely impressed with the level of care my children received. I am so glad we started coming here, I see why they have such great reviews!
Jennifer Romo
My daughter Mary likes to go to this place every time. William was very kind, he was very patient, he took his time to explain for her there is nothing that will hurt you. Thank you also for Dr Grant, he is the best doctor.
Georget Kanab
Great atmosphere, Karla was there to help she was very friendly and welcoming. I appreciate her being so kind to my son who was a little scared to be there. Dr. Grant was amazing as well so much patience. Another plus is the office always smells clean.
Tania Stroud
The best experience. Starting with the physical location: everything is beautifully done. Kids will not be bored with the interior and little games to do. The staff: front desk is so friendly and kind, even on the phone they were always helpful.
Sean Kim
I love the way this place treated our children! Super nice! And after inquiring about my daughter's two fillings, the dentist personally provided time out of his day to explain the process to me and put all my fears for my 5 year old at ease. They definitely deserve five stars!

Halue Wade
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.
