Upon leaving my son gets stickers and a balloon. The exam and cleaning are thorough but quick, which is perfect for the attention span of a toddler.

While in the chair they asked her what she wanted to watch. She said Bluey and Bluey it was. They gave her a pair of cute sunglasses for the bright light and she even picked her toothpaste flavor. Everything went so smooth. The prize wall was the best part of course. She chose bubbles. I Highly recommend this office for your children. They also have a no cavities wall. My daughter was excited to see her name up there. The staff is polite, they do a reminder call as well as text so you don't miss your appointment.

She also wiggled a tooth out which we were ok with. But she didn't give it time to get numb and it was very painful to my daughter. She also left a huge blood piece of tissue attached and we had to go to another dr to have it remove right after. We will not be back.

I unfortunately have to edit my first review. I originally posted about how trustworthy and kind…read morethis dentist was and that does still stand for my first few visits. Fast forward 8 months, I went back in for another cleaning. The hygienist did great and was personable. Still needing quite a bit of work, I requested to speak with the dentist. Unlike the first time, she almost seemed bothered and rushed through my questions, giving me no real treatment plan other than saying I need an extraction. Upon checking out, I was informed that I had a "large credit from 8 months ago" but they wouldn't give me an exact dollar amount. Needing to get back to work, I let it go and scheduled my appointment for an extraction. Upon receiving the estimated financials for the extraction, I found that they added $300 x-rays for an implant that I never asked for as well as a $156 "evaluation" fee even though they told me the tooth would be evaluated at my cleaning. I called the office to inquire and they said it must have been a mix-up regarding the implant x-rays and the oral surgeon indeed did charge $156 just for looking at the tooth prior to the $750 extraction. I proceeded to ask why my past credit was withheld from me for 8 months as it would have been useful to pay off a credit card I put the treatment on and was incurring interest. They had no answer other than "I don't know." With all of the odd billing problems, I cancelled my appointment for now. Edit: After contact with the office manager, she was kind and did her best to resolve the issue. She thoroughly explained the situation, apologized for the error and promptly issued me a check for the credit including interest. While I believe its important to highlight the problems, I think it is equally as important to highlight the initiative they took to fix them. I do sincerely thank them for doing their best to resolve the issue in a fair manner. At the end of the day, we are all human and make mistakes. I do believe the location has the potential to be great.

If you are a liberal leaning parent, please scroll past my review. This review is for conservative…read moreleaning parents. I brought my child to this practice a year or so ago because of their surgical availability. The experience I had with my child getting some fillings done was excellent. The follow up in the Bridgeport office? Again, excellent. This review is strictly for the Shelton office. That office cares more about legal liability and billing than they do about your child. I have serious reservations about unnecessary dental procedures for my child. With all of the information coming out about fluoride, as a concerned mother, I have opted out of fluoride for my child...no biggie but if you are the same, be warned - their only concern is that they are the "experts" and you are moron who drools on yourself. They were condescending when I brought up my concern and made me sign a waiver to remove their legal liability. OK. Strike One. At our most recent visit, the hygienist explained that it is standard to X-ray your child (even if there is no concern) at the age my child is. I explained I am not ok with exposing my child to radiation unless it is absolutely necessary. This time I was again given a waiver and condescension. Strike two. There will be no strike three. I will not be bringing my precious child back to a place that places billing for unnecessary X-rays and avoiding legal liability above the well being of my child and I do not think any other parent should either. If there is an issue with any child because of the fluoride THEY RECOMMEND I hope they get sued into oblivion. After COVID these "experts" can go pound sand. A piece of paper does NOT make you smarter or better read than the rest of us. Treat parents with the respect the deserve or go into another business. These people make me sick.

I brought my 18-month-old daughter in for her very first dental visit, and the experience was…read moreincredibly disappointing. As a first-time mom, I was already feeling a little anxious about how she would do, but I expected the staff to be patient, understanding, and supportive. Instead, I felt like we were an inconvenience from the moment we sat down. We waited at the dental chair for 20 minutes before anyone came over -- which is a very long time to try to keep an 18-month-old entertained and calm, especially in an unfamiliar environment where she's expected to just sit still. When the hygienist finally approached us, there was no attempt to engage with my daughter, build rapport, or help her feel comfortable. No effort was made to show her the tools, explain what would happen, or ease her into the experience. Instead, I was essentially told to hold her down so they could proceed. For a child who had never seen a dentist before, that approach felt abrupt and insensitive. To make matters worse, the hygienist hadn't reviewed her chart and made me feel as though it was my fault that a medical form wasn't completed -- a form I was never provided when I filled out the initial paperwork online. I then had to stand around with my daughter for another 10-15 minutes waiting for the form to be printed and completed. The lack of organization and communication only added to an already stressful situation. What should have been a gentle, positive first introduction to dental care turned into a distressing experience. My daughter, who previously enjoyed having her teeth brushed at home, has been resistant ever since this visit. That alone speaks volumes. This was an awful first impression, and unfortunately, we will not be returning.

The…read morepractice is located on Cherry Street in Milford next to Edible Arrangements and across the lot from Bobs Stores. The practice is nicely designed with several different private rooms for the hygienists to do routine cleaning and exams plus the Dr works on patients in private rooms as well. I have been a patient of Dr Cogguillo's for some time and have found the Dr and his staff to be very efficient and caring when an issue with my teeth happens. The Dr is usually very gentle when examining and tending to a filling or other dental procedure. Ginny ( oral assistant) and Jean (front desk) have been working together at this practice and two former practices for years. I am sure that there are others working at this current practice who are long term employees as well. I first met Ginny and Jean when I started going to Dr Saunders after moving to the area. The fact that they are still working at this practice means that there is stability which is an important factor when talking medical care. This is a good independent dental practice.
