Dr. Jean Kang is exceptional--kind, gentle, and truly caring. We had such a positive experience from start to finish. I brought my nieces and nephews in, and I felt completely at ease trusting her with my family. Her staff was also warm, welcoming, and professional, which made the entire visit even better. She helped my young niece feel at home and comfortable right away. At her previous pediatric dental office, she would cry out of fear, but Dr. Jean helped her feel safe, calm, and confident during her visit. You can genuinely see how much she cares for her young patients. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pediatric dentist. read more

The dentist, the staff, the office are all incredible. We have been coming here for 7 years and have had the most wonderful experience. We are so grateful for this team and their attention to detail and wow, this facility and Dr.Kang are phenomenal! read more

The front office staff is fantastic, so so so friendly and always smiling, a great way to be welcomed. They recently renovated the entire office and WOW. ITS BEAUTIFUL. All new EVERYTHING. You cannot help but smile. I promise you will be smiling and so happy your child/children will have fond memories of going to the dentist when coming here! read more

The Tickled Tooth - Swag! The best swag! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Glendale, California

We had such a positive experience at The Tickled Tooth Kids Dental + Ortho in Glendale. Dr. Lee took great care of my daughter and was so patient and gentle with her, which really helped ease any nerves. The office has a warm, welcoming environment, and everyone there was genuinely kind and friendly. I also appreciated how informative they were, taking the time to explain everything clearly so we felt comfortable and confident. So thankful we found a place that makes dental visits a good experience for kids! read more

We cannot say enough amazing things about the team at Tickle Tooth. Our two-year-old daughter has always been hesitant with doctors, but her experience here has been transformative. During her first visit, the dentist was entirely focused on her comfort rather than forcing an exam. Because of that patience, she's become so comfortable that she actually asks to go "hold dentist" (her slang for a hug!). On a whim, I called today to see if we could just stop by to say hello. Without hesitation, they said "Absolutely!" What started with nervous leg-hugs ended with a toddler who didn't want to leave and is already asking when we can go back. The office is beautifully designed and perfectly equipped for little ones--from the toys that greet her at the door to the bright, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you, Tickle Tooth, for making the dentist something my daughter actually looks forward to! read more

This practice recently changed ownership and I've noticed a lot of positive upgrades. Going to the dentist can be a scary experience for children, but this place does everything they can to ease the mind of their tiny clients. Dr. Kang is super attentive, patient, and kind with her patients. read more

We used to go to Dr. Chin, and now Dr. Jean Kang and her partner have taken over. Dr. Jean saw my son, who is no longer a kid, and we wish he could continue seeing her. She is extremely good at what she does. Additionally, she has excellent bedside manners, is very caring, and definitely excels as a pediatric dentist. Answered all my questions, was very thorough and very easy to understand and follow. read more

So grateful for such a kind space! This team is incredible and inspiring what customer service in healthcare can look like. Thank you for the service and the experience read more

Our experience with this office has been nothing but exceptional! Dr. Kevin is such an amazing and caring doctor. My daughter is in love with the doctor and office staff. They are all amazing. read more

Dr. Jean Kang is hands down the best kids' dentist we have ever worked with, especially when it comes to tooth extractions. One of my kids needed teeth pulled three or four different times, and this was by far the best experience we've had. She had been traumatized by earlier dental extraction experiences and was extremely anxious going into the extraction with Dr. Kang. Dr. Kang was incredibly gentle, calm, and communicative throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain what was happening and made my child feel supported. It made the experience at least ten times better than anything we had experienced before. What I also really appreciate is her integrity. She does not push treatments just for the sake of it. If she doesn't think something is necessary, she is upfront and gives you honest options. At our last visit for my other child, we came in for a filling, but the tooth might have fallen out soon anyway. She explained our options, and we decided to skip the filling. Instead, she generously cleaned my child's teeth since she had just gotten her braces off. 10 out of 10. read more

We absolutely love The Tickle Tooth! Every single staff member is incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient. From the moment we walk in, the atmosphere is warm and positive! My kids actually look forward to coming here! Dr. Jean is wonderful. She never rushes, never recommends unnecessary treatments, and always explains everything clearly. You can truly feel how much she cares about each child. Our orthodontist, Dr. Kevin, is just as amazing! thoughtful, gentle, and always willing to answer every question with so much care. They also recently remodeled the office, and it looks fantastic!! brighter, cleaner, and even more kid-friendly. The whole space feels so fresh and inviting. It's rare to find a dental office where both kids and parents feel this comfortable. We're always grateful after every visit. Highly recommend The Tickle Tooth to any family looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring pediatric dental team! read more

We recently started seeing Dr. Kevin Kang at the Tickled Tooth for my son's orthodontic care, and I can't say enough good things about the experience so far. As a first-time parent navigating a more complex treatment plan, I was pretty nervous but Dr. Kevin immediately put us at ease. He takes the time to thoroughly explain each step, answer every question, and really listens to our concerns. It's clear he genuinely cares about both the medical side and how comfortable kids and parents feel during the process. My son actually looks forward to his visits!! If you're looking for a warm, professional pediatric and orthodontic office in Los Angeles, I highly recommend the Tickled Tooth and Dr. Kevin. The care has been outstanding, and the entire experience from the front desk to the treatment chair has been so positive for our family. We're really glad we found this place! read more

Dr. Jean and her team are amazing! The front and back crew are so welcoming. I highly recommend The Tickled Tooth to anyone who is looking for a pediatric dental home! Also, looking forward to my consultation with Dr. Kevin Kang for clear aligners. My friend just finished up her treatment with him and her teeth look amazing! read more

I went in to see Dr. Kang for some mild tooth pain and was surprised to learn that my lower retainers had shifted since I got my braces off 15 years ago. It turns out that was contributing to changes in my bite. Dr. Kang explained everything clearly and recommended aligners, which were easy to get started with. The whole process was straightforward, and the staff made things simple and comfortable. I've started noticing improvements and appreciate the thorough, no-pressure approach. read more

Dr. Kang was kind and professional, and I appreciated the care she provided. However, I was disappointed by the administrative process and lack of clear communication. When I paid for the treatment, I was not informed that there might be additional charges later. As this was my first dental visit in the U.S., I relied heavily on the office to explain how insurance coverage and billing work. I later learned that there were lower-cost treatment options available, but I was never made aware of them or given a chance to consider alternatives. I believe patients have a right to understand and consent to their treatment plan, especially when financial implications are involved. When I brought up my concerns, I hoped for a more empathetic and patient-centered response. Instead, the answers I received felt dismissive and focused solely on office policies rather than addressing the confusion and stress this caused me. I'm kind of regretting for recommending this clinic to my friends. I hope the office improves how it communicates with patients. read more

The Tickled Tooth was a great experience. I had an appointment with Dr. Kang and was greeted with great care and quality throughout the process. The place was clean and the rest of the stuff was experienced and nice throughout. They answered all of my questions and concerns and were patient. I would recommend anyone needing dental care to go to Tickled Tooth :) read more

We had such a fantastic experience at The Tickled Tooth. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and at ease. The waiting area was bright, cheerful, and full of fun distractions to keep little ones happy. Dr. Kang was incredibly patient, gentle, and explained everything in a kid-friendly way that helped ease our nerves. My child actually enjoyed the visit--and left with a big smile and a sticker to prove it! It's clear that everyone here truly cares about kids and takes pride in creating a positive, stress-free experience. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a kind, professional, and truly awesome pediatric dental team! read more

The Tickled Tooth was warm and inviting and very professional every step of the way. The staff was really welcoming and it was a great experience from start to finish. Dr Jean was great as well. I will definitely be continuing with them and I highly recommend this practice. read more

warning this dental office does not use certified dental hygienists. they use poorly trained assistants who do bad work on your kids. to become a certified dental hygienist, individuals need to graduate from an accredited dental hygiene program, pass national and regional/state clinical board exams, and obtain a state license. accreditation of the program is typically from coda | commission on dental accreditation. licensing requirements and passing the national board dental hygiene examination and a clinical exam. the tickled tooth does not have certifief dental hygienists. ask for thd legal certifications for propf not verbal lies they gave me . read more

This is the best pediatric dentist EVER. We have been going here for a few years now and recently my son has become sensitive to doctors and was very scared to come to his visit today. Hygienist Erica made our day. She joked around with him, let him touch all of the instruments and thoroughly explained everything before doing it. He was immediately calm and was able to get through the X-rays and the cleaning. All of the staff there are wonderful. Office is decorated in such a warm and inviting way. Highly recommend! read more

I can't recommend David Chin's staff highly enough. I brought my two-year-old daughter in for her first visit thinking that maybe we'd get her to sit in the chair for a second. She's young, a little fidgety, and currently in a "stranger danger" phase. But Dr. Chin's staff knew exactly what to do to make her feel comfortable, put her at ease, and really engage with her throughout the whole visit. I want to give a special shoutout to our hygienist Erica, who did an amazing job throughout. Not only did my daughter get a full cleaning, but she had a blast learning about and playing with the different tools, and she actually had a ton of fun. Thanks, guys! read more

We love Dr Jean!!! She's so knowledgeable, skilled, patient. kind, and great with kids. Her staff is really good also.

What a great experience today getting my 3 year old daughter's teeth cleaned for the first time! Ms. Erica was so sweet and patient with her, showing her all the wonderful tools they use to clean teeth. With such a gentle introduction to the chair and all the tools, my daughter sat and let her floss and clean her whole mouth! We were also given helpful tips to help stop our thumb sucking habit. She even smiled to the receptionist on the way out to show off her new clean smile. We love this dentist! read more

The Tickled Tooth - Our favorite hygienist Erica! She is so patient with my son! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Glendale, California

First visit since covid started, scheduled a day of appt for my son today. Dr Chins office had openings thankfully and no changes from our 1st visit when my son was 3y, staff is always welcoming and friendly. Dr Aneri & Andrea were a dream team. Found a way to calm my son down and they took care with ease and able to have the necessary treatments done! Thank you all so much, your patience and kindness. read more

This was my son's second time here. The staff is really nice and professional. The technician that cleaned my son's teeth did a great job and had good bedside manner. My son got a little scared from all the noises work being done on his teeth but he toughed it out. The technician showed him all the tools she was going to use and explained to him what they do. I think it made him feel like he was in good hands After the tech was done the Dr swooped in a did a final checkup. She was nice and friendly. I'm sorry I forgot everyone's names, they should be commended for doing such a good job. Parking is abundant and the office is easy enough to find. I remember after our first time here we wondered about some of the charges but I think it was because it was his first time. So definitely ask up front what you'll be charged for so you're not surprised at the bill. We'll definitely go back! read more

Took my 2 year old for her first dentist visit and it was great! Ms. Erica was so nice and gentle. She explained every tool and made my daughter so comfortable. I'm so glad we came here. They give little prizes at the end of the visit and have images on the ceiling. We will keep coming here. read more

I've always been afraid of the dentists but not anymore. Thanks to David A Chin, DDS. They are so great and go the extra mile for you. The best service I've seen in a long time. I've already recommended them to a friend and they have been able to experience the quality of the service that they provide. I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know. read more

Erica is THE BEST! My daughter had a bad experience at the dentist's at the height of Covid (pre-vaccine) and having everyone in full PPE and air filters blaring was terrifying to her 6-year-old self. We changed dentists' to Dr. Chin's and were lucky enough to have Erica, who has a friendly, lovely, kind demeanor (she and my daughter bonded over their love of dogs) and the patience of a saint. While my daughter is still not super psyched to go to the dentist, it is now at least manageable and that is thanks to Erica! Cannot thank you enough, Erica! read more

Fantastic pediatric dental clinic! The bedside manner was top notch. My very nervous 3 year old and 6 year old had the best experience they possibly could have. Highly recommend!! read more

Erica has saved my life :) my son was/is terrified of the dentist but thanks to her patience and understanding his teeth are healthy and I'm happy! A total pro. read more

Dr. Kira Lee worked masterfully with our son in diagnosing and then filling two cavities. Throughout our interactions, the whole office was professional, friendly, and prompt. We had a great experience, and we will be trusting them moving forward with our children's dental work. read more

Find another pediatric dentist. I'm not at all impressed with their bedside manner or the office staff and especially not the rude office manager. And they're stingy with the gifts they give the kids. Literally told my son they're doing him a favor by giving him a token for a cheap toy. Also, dr Chun saw my daughter for 3 mins just checked her teeth. No X-ray. No procedure. Just looked in her mouth and they charged $80 for this. There are plenty of other options and dentists in the area that will just take what the insurance pays and not try to shake the patient down for more. Poor service, and for what? Dr. Rodarte is a much better option. read more

Dr. Chin was a huge blessing that my little and I have come across. Very wise doctor and very gentle. He cares about his patients and will communicate with the parents directly and follow up to see how his patients are doing. Never had a dentist like him. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Aneri and Erica were amazing. Erica was so patient with my children - making sure they were comfortable and familiar with all of the tools before they even sat in the chair and was encouraging and accommodating. Making sure that they would have positive memories of the dentist so they would be more inclined to come back next time. Positive reinforcements with "tokens" and stickers and toys were used appropriately. Most of the time Erica saw them, but Dr. Aneri was as patient and amazing at examining their teeth. Can't say enough about both! As well as the helpful and pleasant front office staff. They seem to really understand the children's fears and work their hardest to put them at ease. read more

My two kids 9 & 3 had a regular teeth cleaning at this facility. And I was charged $558!! For teeth cleaning!! I asked for a detailed billing statement. And she was extremely rude. Her facial expression was telling me to " pay and get out, don't come back if I have no money to care for my children. I would expect this kind of price if I take my kids to a Beverly hill dental office with upgraded equipment and nice facility. But there is nothing fancy here, not upgraded equipments. It is not even sparkly clean. I left her the money and gone forever. Will not return. read more

Stress-free, caring dental clinic for children. Always a pleasant experience for all 3 (grand)children. The eldest is on the Autism spectrum, with heightened sensitivities. The staff is always patient and understanding. Don't hesitate to give them a try, your children (or grandchildren) will thank you. read more

Friendly and professional service. Great with follow up. Great with fussy kids. They take their time. Never feel rushed. Been a client for 9 years and continue to refer friends and family. read more

This office is very organized and set up in a way that makes everything easy for parents as well as children. All the doctors here are amazing as well. Our three children have been seen by all four doctors who have each been great in their own way. My kids will request each of the doctors in rotation. I guess they miss seeing each of the them haha. Sadly for my kids, genetics and poor monitoring on my part has led to several cavities. Thankfully, all the treatments done for them have been done with great care and professionalism. I never feel uneasy while my children are being treated in the chair. The assistants we see most often are Erica and Andrea. They are very good with all my kids and have been working with my children for about five years now. I feel at ease when I continue to see a lot of the same faces in office. Always a good sign! read more

My daughter (6 years old) and I absolutely love this office! I have been taking her here since she was 3 (I think even earlier than that) They have always made us feel at ease throughout the whole experience. Their front desk staff is very kind and clear with their information. We were able to bring our daughter during 2020 and felt very safe. We haven't had to wait with anyone in the waiting room and we have been seen right away every time. They have implemented amazing regulations to keep themselves and their patients safe. Their offices are very clean and organized. Their doctors and dental assistants are the absolute best with kids, they are very knowledgeable, sweet and so very patient. I definitely recommend taking your kiddos here. They have such an amazing environment. My daughter feels nervous about going to the dentist as most of us do, but after every visit she says how much she loved it! Miss Erica is the absolute best! We were able to request her after our first visit with her, and we always have such a pleasant experience with her. As a mom, I am so grateful for the kindness and patience Ms. Erica has show my daughter. It brings happy tears to my eyes to see that my kid is being treated so well, getting great dental care and on top of it all is forming such a positive image in her head of what it is to go to the dentist. I can't recommend this office more! read more
