My daughter had a filling at Smiles 4 Kids Thursday. My daughter complained on our way home that…read moreher tooth hurt and we assumed the pain was because of her recent work. The next morning, she awoke in great pain. I called Smiles 4 Kids regarding her pain and was told she should take Advil or Ibuprofen. That didn't help her at all. She's been in significant pain over the weekend without remedy. This is the new now. Rotten service and an outwardly uncaring staff. This place is a cattle call for patients. Get em' in, get em' out.

I was so excited to bring my kids to this dentist. It is cute, kid friendly and quiet. Lots of…read moregames and coloring for the kids. The staff is very friendly... However, when it comes to dental care, we had an awful experience. I was lied to at multiple visits that my daughter had 1, maybe 2 cavities.. at a total of 3 visits stretched out over 8 months. They stated that the cavities were not that bad and could be dealt with at her next visit (in 6 months).. They let my kid call the shots and did not get her teeth fixed. I decided another 6 months after 8 months of trying to get answers and to get my kids mouth healthy again was not ok. I finally decided I felt like this place was not for us. I Took my daughter to my dentist in meridian to find out my daughter has EIGHT cavities! Something kuna kids would have been WELL AWARE of, since they very recently did X-rays there. One of the teeth was infected and had to be an extraction!! My daughter had to be put under anesthesia because there was so much work to be done. All because kuna kids kept my daughters actual dental health from me. If I had known it was that bad I would have had to push the dentist at kuna kids to do their job, because the second my kid complained, the dentist would stop. Of course a 5 year old would complain, still do your job! We are now so far in debt with her dental work because kuna kids kept pushing off her care and lying to me about how many cavities she had. I came to find out this is very common with kids dentist offices. If you're reading this debating on where to take your kids for dental work, go to an all ages dental office, not a kids dentist. Don't make the same mistake I did!

I brought my daughter to Sawtooth Dentistry, and while I was very happy with the dentist, Dr…read more Olson, I am sad to say that I will not be taking my daughter there again due to misinformation provided by the front office--mainly by Kaitlynn. As a single mom living paycheck to paycheck, it is very important to me that financial information is communicated clearly. My daughter had dental work done in April, and I paid over $1,000 at the time of service. During the appointment, Dr. Olson explained that my daughter had developed additional cavities, so more work was done than originally planned, and I would be billed for the remaining balance. That balance ended up being around $900. I did not receive a bill in the mail or electronically--only a phone call from Kaitlynn at the end of August. I asked if I could set up a payment plan, and Kaitlynn agreed to $100 per month and told me I would receive a text when a payment was due. A full month went by, and I never received a text or a bill in the mail. If I had been told that I needed to call every month to make a payment, I would have done so, but that was never communicated to me. In October, I received a text stating that my account was overdue, followed by a phone call from Kaitlynn. At that time, I was told I needed to pay the full balance by the end of the year and that no payment reminders would be sent--I would need to call every month myself. I immediately made a payment covering the missed month as well as the current month. Being given incorrect information would upset anyone, especially when trying to budget and manage finances. I tried to give Kaitlynn the opportunity to show some understanding or compassion, but instead I was met with attitude during that conversation and every interaction afterward. On one occasion, she hung up on me because I did not respond quickly enough when she returned from hold. When I called back, the office did not answer, and she went straight to lunch shortly after. I have spoken with other staff members at Sawtooth Dentistry, and none of them were rude or unprofessional like Kaitlynn, who stated she is the office manager. They did receive their money, but I will not be treated this way again.

If anything breaks in your child's mouth, you will wait weeks to get it fixed, even if it hurts. The staff don't seem to monitor progress and Dr Payne rarely supervises or checks on my child's mouth during appointments. Someone should have caught the undesirable charges happening in my child's mouth if they had been looking. Appointments were under-scheduled and my child was in braces twice as long as we were quoted. No one ever bothered to communicate with me and the one time I requested a face-to-face meeting the Dr didn't show up. He went to volunteer at church instead. All of that would be fine if his work was top notch, but my kid's smile is worse now than when we started. This is what happens when someone tells you your child needs braces for the $$. I have More children and we will not be going to Dr. Payne.

The office manager is pleasant--until there's an issue. Then, not so much. I was charged $75 for…read morenitrous oxide (laughing gas) during my son's dental visit without being told it was an additional fee. I asked before paying and was told it was "part of the treatment," which implied it was included--not something extra. When I called to discuss the charge, I got absolutely nowhere. I was told I "should have known" because of a piece of paper (treatment plan) handed to me months ago while I was managing three kids in the office. No one ever clearly communicated this would be a separate charge. I'm sure the response to this review will try to shift blame onto me--but I genuinely tried to work this out over the phone and was met with zero understanding or accountability. Just deflection. Sounds good. I'll be sure to let everyone I know hear about how dishonest and unhelpful this practice was. We won't be back.

I've never been treated so poorly by a receptionist (who claims she is the manager and there is…read morenobody above her that works there. Her name is Jen. Refused to give me any more info) I had an appointment back in June, they called me to let me know that my Medicaid wouldn't cover the work I needed done, and that it resets in August. And to reschedule for after that. So I waited, and then called today to try and schedule an appointment, Jen, with an incredibly rude tone told me I'm "dismissed from the clinic due to a no call no show in June" and then while she was explaining about the policy, I tried to tell her that didn't apply to me, because I did speak with someone, and was told to reschedule after August. She cut me off immediately and told me to "stop talking, I haven't finished my sentence yet." I was shocked at how rude she was. So I asked for a manager. She said "I am the manager" so I asked for the owner. She said "there's nobody above me" and hung up on me. Admittedly I was pretty taken aback and upset with how I was being treated. I called back and she just said "you're dismissed from this office" and hung up on me again. I never write reviews, or complain about anything. I know things are hard for people, I've been in those roles before and it's hard to deal with people all day. Idk if she was just having an awful day or something, but she had zero excuse to ever talk to somebody like that, especially not a customer/patient. At this point I probably would not want to go back to an office that treats people that way, but I would like to speak to the actual manager or owner and discuss. Their actual dental work from the dentist was pretty decent from my last time there, and service was okay then too. So idk if it's a new person or she just wasn't there last time. But she needs a serious sit down with management. I would never in a million years allow an employee representing my company to treat anyone that way.
