    They charge the badger care patients $66 for the first appointment. Something that not every badger…read morefamily can afford, especially with multiple children in this economy. They don't have to do this. The insurance would cover that bill. It's a gate keeping technique that keeps the more needy families away from the clinic. Sad really.

    Beware, if you post an honest, negative review, they will drop your child in the middle of, their…read morewords, "essential treatment." Two of my children have been going to First Impressions for over two years now. I have tried my best to accept their policy of no parents in treatment areas and trust that, as they've told me, their staff all have special training in working with children with special needs. Both of my children are autistic and have sensory processing challenges making dental care an enormous challenge. I have asked repeatedly for help in helping my children with this challenge and the best they can tell me is to try different flavored toothpaste. As if we haven't tried every flavor on the market and every brand available including making our own. It seems they really know nothing about special needs children if they don't even have a single suggestion beyond changing flavors of toothpaste. In the 2+ years we've gone here, we've also only seen a doctor twice, once after their first appointment and once after one of the kids had a surgical procedure in the hospital under general anesthesia. I have no idea what goes on with the dentist but every time one of my children has treatments they come out in complete shutdown and refuse to speak of what has happened back there for hours if not days. After treatment today this child told me they brushed their teeth with a metal toothbrush and that it hurt so bad. I asked if the doctor and assistant knew it hurt because it shouldn't, that's why they numb it. The answer was "yes, they knew it hurt, I was crying so much mom and they wouldn't stop." My children are autistic and are not yet able to advocate for themselves. How can I possibly know they are getting what they need back there when I can't be there to help them learn to advocate for themselves by demonstrating? I do not feel like these practices are helping to create positive experiences for this child in any way which is supposedly the whole point of this policy.
