Update: A month and half later my daughter suffers severe pain from the work they've done and our dentist wont do anything just bec. this facility has not forwarded any of the surgery paperwork to them. Talk about inefficiency!!! They don't want to even see her bec they say they just saw her a month ago even though it's their poor work which is causing my daughter's pain right now. They are verybinconsiderate and very unprofessional. AVOID THIS PRACTICE AT ALL COST!!!

I discovered Children's Choice Pediatric Dentist last year when I was on a search for Black-owned…read moredental offices in PG County. My daughter has attended Children's Choice a total of 3 times. Each time, it has been a pretty pleasant experience. We spent no longer than 3-5 minutes waiting to be taken back, if that, and my daughter never left with any tears. The dental hygienists were patient and understanding and met my daughter where she was at. She did not get any x-rays done her first time because she was afraid but the next time around, she was very brave and got the job done :). I like how bright and open the physical space is. I wish there was some kind of separation between the chairs, however, to give a little more privacy. It's probably not possible given the space, but it was a thought I had. I also love that the kiddos get a token and a special treat at the end of the visit... she looked forward to that the most. The only reason why I deducted a star is because one of the assistants at the front told me that they did accept my dental insurance when I spoke to her on the phone. I gave my new card at the next appointment (previously we were using medical insurance) but they still billed the old card I had on file. It turns out, they did not accept my insurance so they billed the old card I had on file (my medical insurance). Although it wasn't an expensive co-pay, I could have saved money by visiting a dental office that did in fact accept the insurance that we now had.

It's designed to appeal to children and all of the staff help make it as pleasant as it can be. Even though we are planning to move out of the area we will be still coming back here.

It pains me to change the review. At first I thought I was impressed after our first visit but…read moreafter reading articles and talking with friends who are also parents. The rule of thumb at the first visit is to never restraint the child. It would traumatize them and instill fear of the dentist for a very long time. Read this: https://children1stdental.com/what-is-papoosing/ I had first taken my child to my dentist but they were not pediatric dentists and I was advised to take the kid to a pediatric dentist because they would know best how to provide care for the child, especially a 4 year old. Why wait this long to start dental service? Covid. I first took him to dentist when he was 2. It was actually not bad, but then COVID hit and no dental appointment was to be made until the offices opened up. So that doesn't help. So I seek for a pediatric dentist and came across to this. On my child's first visit, he was restrained. There wasn't a relationship established first to build trust. Who will have to take care of the kid's fear of dentist? Us, the parents. Not this dentist. I was a little disappointed after reading about restraints should never happen on the first visit. I got an email from Dr. Weng explaining that she wanted to have 30-minute chat with the kid to establish a relationship. So I made an appointment with explaining to my kid the dentist just wanted to chat with him, there wouldn't be procedures done on his mouth. But apparently I was either miscommunicated or misunderstood so he was traumatized twice. After 2 visits, this dentist office recommended that we find someone else. In full disclosure, my kid does have some work needed done on his teeth so he's not exactly an easy patient, but I really think the restraints hurt him the most. Because with my dentist, he was pretty good. I'm not sure if it's the age, at 2 and at 4 or if the restraint made him to blacklist all dentists. 2 stars because they're easy to schedule an appointment and the staff there are friendly. They made us to feel welcomed. The minus of 3 stars because of restraints and referring us to find someone else (when they're pediatric specialists). Off to look for a new pediatric dentist.

The dentists and hygienists have always been top tier, now the finance staff is a different story, especially the manager they currently have. She's actually the reason I decided yesterday to remove my child from the practice. My children have been coming for about a decade and we have been satisfied, but one person can alter your experience. This woman lacks customer service skills and should not be customer facing at all. I will not detail the interaction, but I will say at this age I'm not dealing with anyone or anything that raises my blood pressure and/of cortisol levels. It's unfortunate, but there are definitely other pediatric dentists closer to my home that I will allow the opportunity to treat me with the dignity and respect I deserve. In this era where healthcare/insurance is under attack, one would think interactions would be gentle and reassuring. I will reiterate the actual staff that serves your child/children are fantastic and I highly recommend them.
