Overall it is a nice safe place to take your children, My child doesnt mind going.However be prepared if your used to going with your child to the dental chair. The dental assistants wont let you past the door and your stuck in the waiting room wondering if the crying you hear is coming from your child or not, It can make for a long nerve racking first experience. When your child is done you get a brief 60 seconds with the Dr., and at least for us the outcome always seems to be an expensive silver cap. It seems long gone are the days where you filled a cavity and waited for the baby teeth to fall out. An average visit to my dentist across town $35, and average vist for my childs dentist around $200 every six months. But in the long run if my child doesnt cry the whole way there and is ready to go back to school right afterwords, its all a mother can hope for :-)
