I appreciate that they are always on time with appointments. Staff is friendly and are great to educate and take the time to answer questions about my son's oral health.

Taking children to the dentist can be stressful and worry-some. But at Dentistry for Kids it's the totally opposite. As a parent, I'm so impressed by the doctors and staff. My kids love going to this dentistry office because they are warm hearted, fun, smiling, and joyful to be around. Dr. Wilkerson and his staff always educates me and my children on what is going on with each visit. They always help my kids feel comfortable and relax as they get X-ray and cleanings. They have also helped us in developing a good oral healthy habits. I wish I could go here for my cleaning!

This is by far the best dentist as well as one of the best medical facilities I've been in. The entire staff is wonderful with the kids. They even ask your child's current interests to have topics to discuss with them. The Doctor is knowledgeable on the most current treatments and patient and thorough with her explanations. Start to finish, the entire visit is not only centered around cleaning teeth but on engaging and teaching the kids about what they can be doing to best provide for the long term care of their teeth. Even my son, who is a great teeth brusher as recognized even by them, was shown things to improve. We love them!!!

We love Dentistry for Kids and Dr. Wilkerson! The entire staff is pleasant and helpful and Ana & Dr. W never miss a beat. They are thorough and explain everything they are doing both to me and my boys. My kids love going to the dentist and aren't afraid and I think a large part of that is due to this practice. Thank you!

I wanted to participate in Yelp's #ThankYouTursdays where they give extra love out to businesses…read morethat go above and beyond. Mt. Rose Pediatric Dentistry is the business that came to mind. I'm so happy to recommend Dr. Murphy (born and raised in Reno) and his staff to anyone seeking pediatric dentistry care. You can expect to get friendly, knowledgeable, and genuine service when you visit Mt. Rose pediatric dentistry. When I bring my kids here, I have comfort in knowing that they and their teeth will be treated with care and that they're establishing healthy habits to help create a happy mouth and happy life. I've been taking my three littles here every since they were babies. The first dental visit is recommended as soon as their teeth start coming in, generally at 12 months, so the child can become familiar with the process early on. My children are now 4, 6, and 8 years old. The office has a cute bear/forest theme throughout and I love knowing that thought went into making a comfortable, fun, and inviting environment for the children. Dr. Murphy has been and to answer my millions of questions throughout the year and has the experience to handle any situation. I'm happy that we stumbled across him and his wonderful and caring staff and wouldn't go anywhere else for our pediatric dentistry care. Notes *They take all insurance and are currently taking new patients. *Dr. Murphy's staff is great at sending out appointment reminders. Appointments are 6 months apart. They also give out reminders over the phone. *You can find the office next to Mt. Rose highway close to Raley's shopping center. *They send each child home with a care kit after each appointment, including a tooth brush, floss, toothpaste, and sticker. *They have a TV in the waiting room and on the ceilings above their chairs to keep the children entertained while they get their teeth cleaned. They get the kid's teeth cleaned so fast and always talk to my kids so the TV isn't an issue for me since I'm a little to no screen time kind of mom. *They start taking X-Rays when children are old and mature enough around 2 or 3 years of age. *For children with cavities, they have a new treatment called silver diamine that the apply directly on a dry tooth. It turns the decayed part of the tooth black. This is to prevent any further spreading of decay and serves as an alternative to fillings. *Dr. Murhpy taught me that decay happens mainly in patients that consume foods with sugar and let it sit for long periods of time. The bacteria in our mouths feasts on sugar and their waste is what damages our enamel (the outer coating of our teeth). If you're planning on diluting juice, think of how long it will take your child to finish their drink. Their teeth will be exposed to sugar for longer periods. Bottom line: Get those teeth cleaned asap, especially after eating sugary processed foods.

First time I can recall having a good experience at the dentist!…read more At other dental offices, it was always the same problem - they didn't listen, aggressively pushed procedures on me I didn't want, and the results were mediocre, at best. As a child, it was traumatizing. As an adult, it was frustrating, and painful. Dr. Alford, and his staff, provide an entirely different and welcoming approach. When I told the hygienist I wanted minimal polishing paste for the cleaning, there was no pushback, just a simple agreement, professional, no drama. When I mentioned that I did not want ultrasonic cleaning as it was very painful, I was told they already noted that in my chart, and the subject was immediately dropped without pushback. That was a first! Not only that, between the hygienist and Dr. Alford, my cleaning was so thorough that afterwards I couldn't feel any rough spots from my problem areas that get a lot of tartar! My teeth are also whiter than they've been in years. I'm still kind of amazed, because I'm used to LONG sessions, and having to live with sandy areas because that was "The best they could do without the ultrasonic." I am super grateful to finally have a competent dentist to go to where I feel comfortable, safe, and my concerns and wishes matter. Dr. Alford is easy to talk to and put me right at ease, as did his hygienist. I don't know if it's because this is a pediatric specialty office, but the entire staff is naturally kind and considerate. It definitely takes a lot of empathy and patience to work with kids! Whether you're a nervous adult, or want to ensure your kids are in good hands, I highly recommend Alford Pediatric & General Dentistry for your whole family.

They truly deserve their five star rating. No one likes or enjoys the dentist, so when you see one…read morewith five stars, you know it means something. My five year old daughter developed a pimple-looking bump on her gum. I used our dental insurance's website to find a local dentist and was pleasantly surprised when these guys said they could get us in the same week. We met first with the hygienist for X-rays and a cleaning. Then Dr. Jackie came in. She was nothing short of amazing. She was soooo good with my daughter and made sure she was comfortable the whole time. Unfortunately, an extraction and a few caps are in our future. But Dr. Jackie explained it all so well and even gave us the option of an alternative to the normal novocaine shot and drilling. We are scheduled in a few weeks to have the work done. I feel at ease knowing Dr. Jackie is at the wheel

We won't be going back. After being at this office for over 5 years it's time to move on…read more The office has zero consistency with staff or Dr. We showed up to our apt today and the entire staff is new and so is the Dr. (also they rescheduled us without asking) Worst visit ever! The "hygienist" have zero clue what they are doing and need to be trained again. My kids have never have their mouths bleed at an apt before. Todays was a total Blood bath and they both told me in hurt a lot. But the hygienist blamed my kids. Now let's talk about the Dr. with her "picture" ploy to fake dental needs. Staining on teeth does not need a sealant. And she 100% didn't show the X-ray as it would've showed no issue. We will never be back.

I hate having to write negative reviews about places but unfortunately in this case I think it's…read moreworth it so that future customers know what to expect. The previous dentist at this office up and left without informing their patients. This happened during the 6 months in between visits. When our appointment comes up the office is closed with no notice. The new dentist might be great but we will never know because the front office can't be bothered to pick up the phone or return phone calls. I even stopped in, gave my name and phone number and my kids names and requested they call me to reschedule our missed appt. Did they call? Nope! Don't go here.

To start out I'd like to preface this review that my rating is based solely on a botched filling…read morejob on one of my children. The dental hygienists have always been good, they are kind and do good work on cleanings for the kids. The receptionist at the front is always very kind and helpful too. If you were simply going in for a cleaning, you should be ok. This office offers good yearly cleanings at a reasonable price which was what drew us in initially. However, when my one of my daughters needed a filling, we set up an appointment, my daughter was very nervous, and when the dentist looked at the cavity, he said it was very small, and he could fill it without giving her the numbing shot. Dentist did the Filling, it seemed to go well, we were happy. However, my daughter's tooth still was bugging her a few weeks after so we took her back in. A different dentist at the same practiced found that the cavity had gotten larger and had not been filled properly. The dentist, I saw, did not want to say that the filling had not been done correctly so he offered to redo the filling at no cost to us since we had already paid for the first procedure. I appreciated that they stood behind their work and was happy it was being redone correctly however a little while later my daughter STILL was complaining about that same tooth hurting so we decided to go in for a second opinion. We went to a new dentist where we found that a massive cavity was underneath her filling that she had gotten done at tooth fairy. She was now at risk for a large and painful root canal because of how close to the blood supply the cavity was. We had the other dentist fix her tooth. The cavity was huge and it was costly and painful to get it fixed. I was shown pictures of tooth fairy's filling and the other dentists filling and it's safe to say there was no comparison. You can barely tell my daughter has a filling now, they took the time to make sure it was done right, it looks nice and apparently feels wonderful especially after months of pain. Tooth fairy's filling looked like they took some white chewed up gum and popped it on her tooth Since the last procedure at another office, my daughters tooth has been pain-free. Because of the what I feel was work that was poorly done at tooth fairy, She had to go through months of pain and we've had to pay for it numerous times instead of just being done right the first time! I've been in contact with tooth fairy, but I've gotten no response. Because of this experience I would not go back to the office and I would not recommend anyone else doing so for any kind of procedures. I sincerely don't like leaving bad reviews, but this was just not a good experience for my family, and I thought others should be aware.

My babes have been going to Toothfairy since 2018 and it has been nothing but an amazing experience…read moreeach time we go!

Kendra, the dental hygienist, is such a nice person, I just love her. My husband and I have been going here awhile now and everything has been great. Dr. Logan also worked on our teeth several times replacing fillings. It has been a long time since we been to a dentist because ours retired and we became full time caregivers for my elder mother who had dementia. When I met Dr. Logan I was so embarrassed that some issues were not good even though we were both brushing and flossing regularly. It doesn't matter, I found out, you still need the cleanings and regular checks. Dr. Logan was so kind, he gently got me in and so happy he did as I was getting tired of waking up every night worrying about my teeth. Even though they are no longer a preferred provider with my insurance, we are staying. Thank you to everyone at Smith Dental Group.
