Salt Lake Pediatric dentistry is a godsend for parents! My 4-year-old used to scream through every dental visit, but here? He actually ran to the chair. The office is decked out with cartoons, a video game corner, and the hygienist turned his cleaning into a "tooth treasure hunt. " Dr. Kim is magic with kids—she explained a small cavity using stuffed animals, so he didn’t get scared.

They send fun reminder texts with a "countdown to your prize" which builds excitement. The staff never rushes, even when my little one got wiggly. Finally, a pediatric dentist that makes kids (and parents!) happy. Worth every mile we drive!

They were extremely helpful and kind, I have been deeply struggling to find a good place to help care for my son’s extreme dental issues. And I’m so happy I found them! I was able to come in the same day and was scheduled months sooner than anywhere else for my son’s procedure, they also offered me better solutions to his issues that I wasn’t offered at other places.

Overall I would 100% recommend!

My kiddo came in very nervous, the staff was great at keeping her calm, my kiddo can be a bit of a chatter box so I loved how the staff engaged in her conversations, definitely recommend.
