Dental hygienist settled my daughter and gave her a thorough clean, with some very cool glasses!! She was so friendly and my daughter was very happy, the Dentist came and examined her and explained the treatment plan in detail, the benefits and why it was important. We are extremely happy with this dental office and my daughter already is looking forward to returning."
