The establishment is bright and clean inside, with a lot of colorful decorations. The patient room has a TV to play songs/videos to distract/calm the kid. The visit with Dr. Decere was great! She was on time, very thorough in answering questions, and very patient in dealing with my kid! My kid got to take home a goodie bag with a new toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, and a little rubber duckie! The front desk was friendly and effective during the check-out process. All-in-all, I highly recommend this pediatric dental establishment!

If your child never has a problem with their teeth you will likely give this business 5 stars for…read moreconvenience location, parking, efficiency, a clean office, space for active children to play or read, and an overall nice or positive attitude, other than some complaints by my wife of rudeness from the receptionist. If, on the other hand, your child has issues to be dealt with. Be prepared for them to do a (hmm what's a nicer word) "halfhearted" job on diagnosing and early remedy. The remedy could be, as in my child's case, to grind away a break in the tooth down to the dentin (making it many times more susceptible to decay where brushing won't help). It could also be that they might recommend against and avoid doing the right, precautionary thing early on a looming issue so that as the child grows, the problem grows as well, until the pain and time and expense of recovery is multiples of the initial precautionary procedure. In both these cases the initial visit or one follow up could have taken care of each problem quickly, with lower pain and radically lower expense than the outcome of how they chose to delay and see what happens or do a quick initial fix--multiples of expense being the key words here--makes one wonder about motivation. You can't give zero stars so, starting at one, I add a star for the positive things. I take away three stars for the pain, expense and time casualties of what is possible incompetence or outright intent to create a larger profit down the road. Look for other pediatric dentists (ignore the high stars and read the reviews before choosing. In our case it would have made us well willing to drive farther away for appointments...

Very professional and polite. My daughter's (9YO) hygienist was great! Cleaned her teeth. Talked to her about proper brushing and flossing (as well as gum health). Dr. Baker was kind and helpful. The office area was neat and clean. I liked that they had seating immediately where your child is being cleaned. I watched the staff thoroughly clean each chair (the entire chair - head to toe) and associated station after each patient. Loved seeing that! Out of all the medical appointments I've been to (and on behalf of my child), never - not once - has the office EVER had printed school calendars (for multiple Counties) available at the checkout station, where you make the appointment or next time. It's small things like that (and the immediate chair/station cleaning) that demonstrate great customer service. I would definitely recommend them, based on my first experience.

The area of improvement lies with the billing department. There were occasions where I called, left messages without my call being returned. Popped in and asked why my call/concern went unanswered but the office manager was always sure to make sure that I got resolution and left confident that they'd take of care of things. What I really like is how they explain what procedures are necessary and those that are optional. A solid outline of what payment is due prior to service and payment options are available to minimize financial impact. When a recommendation was needed for my son's wisdom teeth removal, a clear explanation of who we were being referred to was done and they even assured me that the surgeon accepts my insurances. Gold star to all the hygienists here who conduct themselves in a professional, approachable manner and are excellent dental hygiene coaches for young adults who need pointers. Gentle in the line of duty, whenever my son had discomfort they listened to him and described what they were doing and didn't promote anxiety about coming to the dentist. Plenty of parking, play area inside for children and they have overhead monitors that play movies as patients are receiving care. Nice decor, all areas are clean and each visit has a dental swag bag.

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.

It has only been within this year that we have run into scheduling problems.

If we have needed a follow up appointment after a regular scheduled visit it can take that same 4-6 weeks to get another appointment. They do run pretty much on time and are efficient when you do arrive for an appointment. Plus they were able to get my husband in within 24 hours when he urgently needed to see a dentist which I did appreciate and gave them an extra star for that.

WARNING TO POTENTIAL PATIENTS & NORTHROP GRUMMAN EMPLOYEES…read more Be VERY wary of the amount of 5-star reviews you see on Google. Many of them are lacking in any details or descriptions of the procedures done and don't tell you anything much like Amazon reviews. It's almost like they're buying reviews. Jai Shin seems to hope you're naive enough to not question what they're doing in your mouth, especially if you've had bad oral history. I had been going to this place for around 4 years after I moved to Maryland, and at first it seemed fine with the cleanings and being told I had some cavities to fill. But then he mentioned I needed a root canal, which was the beginning of the end. This root canal hell spanned 2-3 years before I found peace and left for a better dentist: 1. The root canal procedure itself was very odd. I'm no stranger to root canals and I know for a fact Jai Shin didn't use a tooth dam to prevent my saliva and other contaminants from entering the exposed tooth or a magnifying glass apparatus to even see what he's doing in the back of my mouth. He was very casual and not completely focused on doing the root canal, and initial x-rays showed the biofilling PIERCED THROUGH MY GUM TISSUES before fixing it. My gut was telling me something was wrong, but I had excellent dentists in my life prior to this so I gave the benefit of the doubt. 2. The installed crown afterwards POPPED OFF during normal eating sessions only a couple of months after installation. My two 8 year old crowns have NEVER had this issue and they're still going strong to this day. It was poor cement adhesion explained away with poor excuses. 3. Almost a year later after the root canal procedure, it failed as I had a reinfection there again. Jai Shin told me it was rare/uncommon for this to happen, and yet there we were not even a year in, with bleeding and throbbing gums. They had then referred me to a periodontist that only had a slot to see me in a month, so I went with someone else that could see my issue sooner and the reports were not good. Then I got it checked by Sterling Endodontics and they confirmed it needed to be retreated, which they did PROPERLY the next day. 4. It was pointed out by the Perio that the prior crown that popped off was not giving full coverage over the tooth, leaving a gap for food to enter. The new crown creation by Jai Shin was a hassle and took a while to get it right, but at least now it seems like he actually put effort since he could probably sense I could see through his facade and was done with him. It doesn't end there though. A cavity that was found in my other molar was never mentioned by Jai Shin and caught by my new dentist who has since properly fixed it. Thankfully one of Jai's dental assistants made me aware of the potential of that cavity back then so I kept note of that. It would have become another root canal, and I suspect Jai was withholding this on purpose to ruin more teeth/get more money out of me. I am also very suspect of whether I really needed a root canal from Jai knowing what I know now. Another review here mentions he was lying to them about her child's teeth having cavities that needed to be done. Unfortunately for him, she worked with dentists and knew what to look for. And so, so, SO much more that can't fit in detail in this review. Billing issues that take months to resolve, rough administration of numbing shots, questionable crown applications, charging for Xrays and not doing enough Xrays at the same time vs endo and new dentist, his wife coming in with incorrect statements/assumption on my mouth instead of himself, etc... Jai Shin also seems to care a lot about his reviews instead of his service since early on he would spam people texts to leave reviews. I also noticed another reviewer mentioning that Jai Shin spoke to them at their next appointment regarding a review they left. In which case, hello. Do better, seriously. Don't be a Jensen Huang. If you've read through all of this, thank you for your time. I'm seriously trying to warn you of this dentist because I don't want people to suffer as much as I did.

Now, that the practice was taken over by dentistry for children, things have gone from great to horrible. The last visit I had was botched as my child's x-rays weren't sent to another dentistry for children in a timely manner in order to have my child's teeth filled. The practices have an inability to communicate with each other. Worse, the new dentists (at both practices) were unable to fill my child's teeth. And to add insult to injury, the send me a bill without performing any dentistry work. Now, I have to worry that my child feels traumatized and this experience is going to linger and negatively impact his future relationships with other dentists. Personally, I'm also not a fan of the toys they hand out as if it's salve for telling you your child has tons of dental issues which reeks of bilking. Avoid.
