Dr. Tra Le and staff are gentle, thorough and spend the extra time with my kids to ensure they are comfortable. That means the world to me as a parent. The front office staff are always clear and concise which also these days is not the case. If you're a new parent or a parent looking for a pediatric dentist this office is awesome! read more

Great place for kids dentistry. My kids have been going since they were little. Friendly staff and great doctors

We had a great experience with Dr Le and her staff. They were patient and made the experience easy. My daughter is almost two and she did very well due to the staff. When she was one we went to another dentist and the experience was not good. Glad her second time was a good one. The kids are able to watch TV, play video games or enjoy toys from a toy shelf ans they also have a chest full of books. The only downside we waited a long time before being seen but due to the experience we will return read more

Let me correct my review - I just found text messages of time stamps. My appointment was at 10:20am and got there on time and did not get seen until 11:05am. Literally waited 45 minutes. After one of the office employees saw me they said "oh you're still here!?" And then we sat down for our appt. I updated this because the office manager messaged me and clearly is trying to say this didn't happen but I ended up finding time stamps of the actual times. We will not be coming back to this dentist office because of the unprofessional office manager. read more

We have been going to Dr. Le for years after our pediatrician recommended her and we have always been so happy with her. She's a truly pediatric dentist, very patient and kind. She has always explained our options when our kids needed treatment, we were never pushed into extra procedures, especially on baby teeth, which other dentists do. Dr. Le is very conscientious on that regard and we really trust her. You can tell how passionate she is about what she does. We live about 30 minutes away, but we would drive an hour if we had to because it is not easy to find someone you trust like this. On a side note, the office is very clean and welcoming to kids with TVs and they get a toy after they're done, which is our kids' favorite part about going to the dentist. And, we miss Uncle Rico! read more

I am so happy we found Dr. Le! She and her staff are so professional and kind when we come for our appointments. Having an extra small mouth, we had to find someone who could take care of her without getting too rough and Dr. Le accomplished this with her awesome personality and wonderful dental skills. My daughter loves going to the dentist now and it is all thanks to Dentistry for Kidds in Tustin. It also helps that they are right off the freeway and we live only 15 minutes away! I would highly recommend this pediatric dentist to anyone who has children! Thanks again Dr. Le! read more

I love this dentist and so do my KIDSS! I am so grateful for the DR. Le and her staff with their expertise with children. They are so good two of my kids had their cavities fixed with nothing because there was no pain!!! I was so surprised... too bad they don't see adults because I would come here myself. I would never go anywhere else. read more

My three kids come here. We have been repeat customers since 2010 when my first son was just a toddler. I trust Dr. Le with all my children's dental needs because she is patient (very patient since my son isn't the most well behaved), provides detailed explanations in regards to procedures and ensures things will go smoothly whenever there might be an issue. She has referred me to great specialty doctors and her staff coordinates insurance policies well. Her staff is also quick to respond to emergency visits and just overall a God send. Thank you Dr. Le and staff! read more

Like many children, my daughter has a fear of the dentist and cries each time we are there. Each visit, Dr Le gets visibly frustrated, which I let pass the first couple times because I understand a crying toddler can be frustrating and we live close to the office- however, I expect more patience of a PEDIATRIC dentist. From my experiences, it seems most of her patients seem to be elementary to high school age so she doesn't have good patience and rapport with younger patients. Dr. Le was so harsh and rude our last visit today and my daughter actually asked me to find a new, "not mean" dentist after our last visit, so we will be. I wish I would have done this sooner! I'm sure it won't be hard to find someone with a little more patience than Dr Le, as she has none. She should be ashamed of herself and her impatience with a 3 year old, she almost acts like a toddler herself with her impatience. I am also expecting so at the end our visit she sarcastically gestures towards my daughter and goes "hope THAT gets better after 2 kids!" My daughter also said "Hi Dentist" to her at the beginning of the visit, trying to establish some connection, and instead of returning her greeting she just sighed and replied rudely "okay lets get this done quick" and harshly cleaned her teeth. If you have a younger child AVOID this office at all costs!!!! The dentist is truly awful. read more

What a beautiful office and friendly staff. My 2.5 year loved her first visit. Nick was so sweet to her and explained everything in a friendly kid way. Dr. Le was very nice too. It was just a wonderful experience. Everything was super clean. The underwater murals are beautiful and really got my daughter's attention read more

Dentistry For Kidds - Nick doing a great cleaning! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Tustin, California

To begin with, silver should not be used if you follow updated healthy dental practices. First, the appointment is never on time. The wait time makes your child impatient. Unnecessary usage of nitrogen to make money. This doctor doesn't have a heart, she is always in a rush to finish the work and get on to the next. On our 2nd visit I changed my option to compost and complained to her on the pain the silver filled tooth is giving my son. My son complained about the sensitivity the silver filling gave him, she blamed on brushing techniques. She said we aren't brushing properly which will lead to infection. But she has no brains that if she says infection its could be from her, and not from brushing technique. I took my son here, she decided to do 3 of his teeth at a time. Gas and being tired put him my 4 YO to sleep, the doc continued to work while he was asleep, all the water with tooth particles collected in his mouth and throat. He woke up choking. She was literally shouting at my kid constantly to open the mouth while he was crying and gaining his presence of mind after waking up. I found her extremely unprofessional as she goes on non stop chatting about her kids, while not looking at the patient, scraping and drilling till blood oozes out. She doesn't have the courtesy to wait till my child felt better. We left with uneven filling. We didn't bother to return to level it up. And of course she doens't care if we didn't return. I'm lucky I found a perfect doctor for my entire family who isn't money minded and is extremely gentle, only and only concerned about our dental well being. I do not know what made me say yes for silver filling, could be the price. My new knowledgable dentist informed me, "Dental amalgam fillings are also known as "silver fillings" because of their silver-like appearance.  Despite the name, "silver fillings" do contain elemental mercury. Dental amalgam is the least expensive type of filling material. Potential Risks: Dental amalgam contains elemental mercury. It releases low levels of mercury in the form of a vapor that can be inhaled and absorbed by the lungs. High levels of mercury vapor exposure are associated with adverse effects in the brain and the kidneys. FDA has reviewed the best available scientific evidence to determine whether the low levels of mercury vapor associated with dental amalgam fillings are a cause for concern. Based on this evidence, FDA considers dental amalgam fillings safe for adults and children ages 6 and above. This Doctor who isn't even fit to be called so used this filling on my poor kids "MOLAR teeth". The front office explained that Dr Tra prefers silver for young kids witj milk teeth as they will fall off. But hey that is wrong!!!! My son when he woke up said he never wants to see her and that is the worst doctor he has ever ever been through. He also added he can visit for the toys but to see the doc. This has been so far our worst experience ever. Each time I think of my experience here, I feel sorry for my son, I feel guilty for not stopping the doctor when she didn't pay attention, stopping her when my son fell asleep. I will never forgive myself for giving my poor child this experience, for letting this doc to torture him. Very poor skills I wonder how such doc are let to deal with kids who are so insensitive. read more

My kids haven been going here for over 6 years and they always look forward to see the dentist. They can't wait to see Uncle Rico. My daughter just had a procedure done at the office for three of her molar and we were told how much it will cost upfront and there is no hidden fees. My daughter who is 4 years old didn't even cry when the doctor gave her shots to numb her month. I recommend my friends and they are very happy. We are very happy with Dr. Le and the staffs. read more

Never will I go there again to take my children Dr Le is very rude and not compassionate for kids she doesn't have patience ... never will I go there again!!!!!!! Also I had an appointment scheduled and other patients were seen before me.. and Dr Le never even apologized to me for seeing the other patients before my daughters appointment! Save your time don't go here read more

I do not usually write reviews for doctors. But I think I need to write the wonderful experiences our family had with Dr. Le. Both of my children started to see Dr. Le since they were 3 or 4 years old. My daughter always had problems with other people touching her mouth. I explained that issue to Dr. Le and she treated my daughter with gentleness and respect. She never treated my daughter as if she was different and she always made sure that my daughter was never uncomfortable with any of the procedures. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. She always explains to the children what she would do to the teeth and how she would do it. My children never complain when it's time for their dental visits. For them it's not a scary experience. The staff there are very friendly and we never wait more than 10 minutes. Needless to say I have recommended Dr. Le to all my friends. They too become long time patients of Dr. Le. My daughter now is a teenager and she still goes to see Dr. Le. We probably have to start taking her to regular dentist but she's still a bit sensitive with her mouth. I am still looking for adult dentist in OC who can be like Dr. Le. Thank you Dr. Le and all the staff members who work hard everyday to make sure every kids get good dental hygiene. The most important thing is they come out of the office with a smile. read more

Been coming here for many years. Always professional and friendly staff, reasonable waiting and service time. The dentist really cares about her patients and I highly recommend you take your kids here. read more

We've been going to Dentistry for kids for 9yrs w/our 3 kids. When we 1st come to dr Tra our then 2yrs daughter was traumatized from getting stitches for her chin from the ER would scream, spit & fight so much that my husband had to be on the chair to hold & sooth her. Thanks to Doctor Tra & the rest of the staffs so patient & kind our daughter, she since had grown out of her anxiety. We found Dr. Tra's recommendation for dental work was always what's needed for our kid. Even though we moved further away we still make the drive to the office. read more

As a pediatric anesthesiologist at CHOC, I have been fortunate to work with many talented pediatric dentists who provide compassionate care. I consider Dr. Le among the best of the best. I have entrusted her and her team - Hi, Uncle Rico! - with the dental care for my own children. Because of their pleasant experiences at Dr. Le's office, my children have loved visits to the dentist since they were each a year old. Whomever you choose for your child's dental care, make sure your children are seen by a "pediatric dentist". read more

Our daughter has been going to Dr. Le for over 12 years. Dr. Le was patient and gentle from my daughter's very first visit when as a toddler. My daughter previously had been examined by a dentist who was fine, but did not specialize in children. We could see the difference right away how very good Dr. Le is working with children. My daughter came in as a yeller but Dr. Le and staff were patient and gentle. After a couple of visits, my daughter no longer feared the dentist and stopped yelling. Her first filling and injection several years later was fuss-free. For parents who like to be informed, and choose to sit in during the appointment, Dr. Le keeps an ongoing dialogue with parents during the exam. I'm not sure if sitting in during the appointment is mandatory or an option, but I always sat in. I appreciated the communication, as she would kindly identify strengths and areas of needed improvement in my child's oral health. Not only are she and her staff pleasant and professional, I can honestly say that from a layman's view, she seems to be excellent at her craft. Just last week, my daughter sustained a sports injury to her front tooth. After Dr. Le repaired it, my daughter, now a skeptical teenager, was amazed that her tooth looked completely normal; the point of repair is undetectable! For those of you with younger children, the exam area is inviting, with kid friendly movies on screen to occupy little attention spans and a cheerful marine decor. And choosing a prize from the cabinet at the end of the appointment is always a winner! read more

This office is amazing where do I begin first it's super easy to get an appointment every time I call there is availability and if not Dr. Lee always makes an effort to schedule my son in. Second the office is extremely clean and the entire staff is extremely friendly super helpful lastly Dr. Lee is the best dentist ever! I bring my 11-year-old son to this office and has an extreme anxietyAbout dentist or dentist work. But Dr. Lee is so kind and gentle with him. She stops and explain everything that my son really likes and trusts her. If anyone needs a superb dentist this dentist is the right fit for your child. I have been coming to this dentist for the last 10 years and have never come across any problems any situations or any serious concerns this doctor is amazing. Anna Les-Giourgas read more

We have been going to Dr Le and Dentistry for Kidds for over 13 years. Dr Le is an excellent dentist with a great staff. We love that she has integrity and doesn't recommend dental work that she feels is unnecessary. This is super important to us. We have never considered going anywhere else! Our youngest is 11 so look forward to many more years of being patients of Dr Le and Dentistry for Kidds. read more

I'd give 10 stars if possible. My kids have been coming here for 15 years. Dr. Le, uncle Rico and the entire staff are outstanding. They make you feel like part of the family. My kids grew up never fearing a dentist trip, and the team does a great job communicating costs/coverage for insurance, etc. I highly recommend making them a part of your family. read more

Very nice place for kids! They have plenty of things to entertain kids while they wait for their sibling to get their teeth cleaned. It was my sons first time to the dentist so he cried a lot but they did very well distracting him and cleaning his teeth at the same time. read more

Our child had a great first experience here. The staff is very friendly and kind. Our son is usually timid and scared with new people, he did not cry once and even wanted to go back after we left. We have been going ever since. We could not recommend them more! Go to this dentist with your kids, it is wonderful. read more

We love Dentistry for Kidds!! I had a difficult time taking my son to a regular dentist because they just didn't know how to work with kids....not really their fault.....but a pediatric dentist office that knows how to deal with kids and talk to kids was the way to go for us and that is Dentistry for Kidds. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The office is clean and the kids love the games in the wait room and the TVs in the procedure rooms. It is helpful to keep them distracted while they are being worked on. They are always open to parents being in the room with the kids too if it helps to make them feel comfortable. Dr. Le is great with my kids and my daughter loves that the last cavity she had filled was pain free!! Dr. Le is always thinking of her patients and recently invested in an anesthetic gel that makes getting a cavity filled so much easier......my daughter did not feel a thing.......much to my relief and my daughter who was super anxious before the appointment but now knows it is not a big deal. Whew!! Thank you Dentistry for Kidds!! read more

We have been going to dentistry for Kidds for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier with their office. Waiting area- Super clean, has TVs mounted to walls with a kid movie on at all times. Also has gaming systems and a bunch of toys. Dentist area- Wow! You have no idea how kid friendly it is. The walls are painted with an Oceanic theme and there TVs mounted on the walls for the kids to watch a movie as they get their teeth cleaned! Staff- EVERYONE is great. They genuinely enjoy their jobs because it reflects in how they treat their patients! My kids love the dental assistants, especially Uncle Rico. He is a lovable bear, no joke. He tells the kids to call him Uncle Rico and he talks to the kids, gets to know them, laughs with them and uses opportunities to teach them about dental hygiene and even about life! He told my kids that they should always be nice with one another bc they're siblings and family is important. He is just, hands down, so great with the kids. Also Dr. Le, our dentist, who is sweet, knowledgeable and efficient. I have much respect for Dr. Le and the environment she has created to serve her patients. read more

Amazing Office and staff. Highly recommend. No judgement. They only care about your little one.

Dr. Le is simply the best pediatric dentist in the Orange County area. She is an amazing, caring, thorough and sensitive dentist who is incredible with kids. She explains everything up front and afterwards in depth, and genuinely cares about her patients. The office is clean, spacious and kid friendly. There are personal TVs to entertain and distract the kids during the cleaning/procedure and she's patient with the challenging kids. All of the staff is just as welcoming and excellent at what they do. read more

We recently took out three year old to have some cavities filled. The entire staff is so friendly, very fast, very patient, and I love the open layout. read more

We had an amazing experience with Dr. Le when my son had a tooth that was bothering him and needed to be pulled. They got him in right away and took great care of him. The television screens on the ceiling helped divert his focus and the staff (Liddy was the assistant) was energetic and friendly. His experience was so good that he ASKED. if he could go back for a teeth cleaning. His little brother wants to go to Dr. Le's office for a teeth cleaning too. I highly recommend Dr. Le especially if you have a child who doesn't like going to the dentist. read more

Dr. Le and her staff are amazing. I take all 5 of my children here and we have been coming here for 5 years. The staff are extremely friendly and Dr. Le takes her time explaining all procedures, including the pros and cons of materials used for fillings (white or silver). She is not aggressive with her diagnosis and treatment and would rather "watch" cavities than just "drill and fill" especially for baby teeth. Her staff are extremely helpful with insurance and always gives us estimates of our copays before procedures so there is never any surprises or ambiguities. My kids love getting stuff out of the toy cabinet after their appointments. Ifyou have kids, you must give Dr Le a try. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Dr Tra Le is the best pediatric dentist in Orange County! She has taken care of my kids for the last 7 years and we couldn't be happier! She's attentive and patients and my kids actually love going to see their dentist! She's always available 24/7 whenever we have a question or concern about our kids' dental health! Two thumbs up! We love you Dr Le! read more

I am a physician and I have my choice of about 10 different pediatric dentists in the county since I work with them pretty frequently. I choose to send my kids to Dr. Le without hesitation because apart from being personable and skillful, I know first hand that she has exceptional clinical judgment. I very much trust her with my kids well being. read more

I took my five year old daughter in this morning at 7:30 for some major dental work after we discovered she had a molar problem during her general cleaning visit a month ago. The staff experience was easy going but what got me was how they handled the extra bill that was never mentioned till the very end. Apparently when Dr Le tells you that it is not unusual to find other tooth problem during the actual work as xray doesn't show everything...do not assume she will go over with you whatever extra dental work she deems necessary and the extra bill that comes with it. When she asks if you have any questions or concerns after she makes that statement, that is her way of asking your permission. This was the case with me when I said I have no further question. Not till the very end as I was walking toward the car did the front desk girl called me back in informing that I haven't completed all paperwork. Back inside was when I told I had to pay an additional $762.00 fee for the extra dental work Dr Le's performed. And if i can't afford it, i had to apply for their care credit plan which essentially is a loan. All this was discussed in front of other parents who were waiting to check in their little ones. And here's the kicker (for your information). My daughter was too young so she had to be sedated by breathing into a gas mask. This involves me paying $350 fee to a third party anesthesia service company by the name MobiSurge who's main office is in Irvine. This fee is to be reimbursed since my insurance covers it. But what they didn't tell me is that MobiSurge hires another third party service to do the insurance billing which costs an extra 8% of the total reimbursement. And to top it off, this service slaps you with a collection fee of their own. In other words, MobiSurge hires a collection agency to do the billing of the insurance and you get charged you for it. Long story short my $350 reimbursement after $50 deductible, 8% fee, collection fee came out to $156. I am lost for words of the tactic they use to nit pick your pockets. read more

Dr. Le and Uncle Rico did an amazing job for my 4 year old. They are professional and very efficient in what they do. I got a chance to sit in while they worked on my daughter and I was amazed at how well they worked together. They made both my daughter and me feel comfortable the whole time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone with kids. Thanks again guys! read more

This has been a long, overdue review for our favorite pediatric dentist. I have been taking my youngest daughter here since she was 2 years old and still going at 16 years old. My daughter has always loved going to the dentist because of the friendly, fun atmosphere of the office and staff. Dr Le has always been very honest and upfront when it comes to the needs of my daughter. She always takes her time to explain to my daughter everything she would be doing(even at 3 years old) and makes her always feel comfortable. We have never had anything but positive experiences with Dr. Ale and her wonderful staff. I highly recommend her for all children, no matter what age. read more

Took my son here for his very first dentist visit. Everyone was really friendly and loved how they catered only to kids. Rico was the best in making my son's dentist visit a more enjoyable experience :) read more

I brought my 2 small children here after a friend's referral. Love Dr. Le, uncle Rico, and the staff. They are personable, go above and beyond to help you in any ways. They are very responsive to calls and emails with concerns or questions. The best part is they are so close in distance. read more

I have been taking both my kids here for the last four years. Both my kids love it here. My kids hated going to the dentist, and now they don't mind it. They always look forward to seeing "Uncle Ricco"! He makes them comfortable to be there and he is good at taking their mind off of why they are there. They also have movies playing in the waiting room, and in front of the Dentist chair. I would definitely recommend them to my friends, family, and to Yelp users! read more
