We have been coming here for pediatric dental care for many years and we love Dr. Young. He is great with children and so patient. His staff is excellent as well. They make sure kids are very comfortable, they have ceiling mounted TVs for the kids. Makes procedures smooth and easy. Parents can sit and observe and are very informed during the procedures. read more

Young Smiles Pediatric Dentistry - Waiting area - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Temecula, California

I've been bringing my two kids here since they were 2 and 4, and we've always had a fantastic experience. We've seen both Dr. Shin and Dr. Young, and they are truly wonderful--caring, patient, and great at making kids feel at ease. The entire staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit smooth and stress-free. The office itself is clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed. There are TV screens above each chair to help keep kids entertained, and the waiting room is spacious and calming, with a TV as well. It's a comfortable and inviting environment from start to finish. I highly recommend this practice to any parent looking for top-notch care for their little ones!" read more

AMAZING Care from Dr. Young and her team. 3 year old cane in with a traumatic dental incident. They were super kind and sweet to her and super clear in all her details. Highly recommend read more

I cannot recommend this dentist enough. Dr. Young and the team at Young Smiles made our visits seamless and easy. My daughter had to get some fillings and a crown and she had no pain, no stress and no worry. Everyone at the office made us feel welcomed and comfortable. From Dr Young explaining everything so that a 7 year old could understand, to letting her take it at her own pace... I was beyond grateful. We love Young Smiles! read more

Dr. Young was very kind and great with kids. He took the time to educate my daughter on brushing as well as foods to avoid. I was a little disappointed, admittedly, that their new office is not as "fun" in the waiting room area as their old. Now it's just colorful with a video game instead of the playhouse/play area. read more

Young smiles is the 4th office we came too because all the others just weren't right. I had brought my youngest here because she had a few cavities and needed nitrous. As it came time for her appointment Dr Young explained everything to her and me , he was very nice and I just loved his method on explaining how he had to remove the sugar bugs that she had . I was so surprised how my 4 year old just sat there and let him work on her . Of course the nitrous helped out. She felt comfortable and he got the work done . We were only there for about 45 min. Dr Young is amazing and is great with kids. read more

Dr Young and his staff are amazing! They are efficient, honest, and friendly! They make the dentist a fun experience for kids and parents!

Dr. Young is amazing! He is so good with both my boys. Always a great experience at his office.

My son had a doses tooth that caused a cavity. During the fill the doctor noticed the nerve was too close and so we had to do a root canal instead. Dr. Young and Miss Crystal our so attentive and kind to my 3 year old. I highly recommend. I was nervous since I've never had either procedure but they explained everything thoroughly to me and my son. It was easy to make the consultation and the procedure appointments with the very kind front office staff as well. read more

Absolutely the Best pediatric dentist you could ever, ever find!!! So gentle and caring for the kids! Amazing work, extremely talented. Takes care of all 3 kids for our family! read more

I am extremely grateful that we found this office. My 8 year old has been seen by a regular dentist for years, but was having some issues with high anxiety over getting a tooth extracted. We were referred here since they had access to nitrous and I can't believe it took us so long to start using a pediatric dentist. Dr Young came in and was patient with my daughter and walked her through every step. Even with her anxiety, he was able to calmly talk to her and get her through the extraction smoothly. My daughter has let me know that she loves this office and looks forward to coming back! read more

All parents in Temecula/Murrieta area I HIGHLY recommend this dentist. Dr. Young is a SAINT. He's always so patient with my daughter even while she screams lol (he sings to her) & also very patient with us parents when we make him repeat things or when we ask a bunch of questions. He takes his time explaining everything before he does it to make sure that you're comfortable with it. I took my daughter in for a bad cavity & she's a wiggler/screamer so she had to go under general anesthesia. The anesthesiologist they work with was awesome too! Dr. Andrew - he was so fast & genuinely super nice/patient, & also explained everything to us in detail. Dr. Young even brought me a box of tissues because I totally cried when she went under LOL overall a 10/10 experience every time we go in & I'm so happy we found him. Also a huge PLUS is that he accepts Tricare! Thank you Dr. Young! read more

My four-year-old needed a bunch of dental work done. I researched multiple pediatric dentists in the area and after I met Dr. Young, I knew he was the perfect dentist for my son. He answered all of my questions with eloquence and was extremely informative. He was very professional, kind, and his office staff were as well. I was also very impressed with their up-to-date technology for their paperwork and billing process. They told me right upfront how much my co-pay would be and were extremely organized. I was so nervous the first time I brought him in for his two fillings (and possible pulpotomy and crown aka:baby root canal). Once he started working on him, he noticed he did not need to do a pulpotomy after all. I was very relieved. He still has to do one in our next appointment. I appreciate how Dr. Young spaced out my sons procedures so that my son did not get overwhelmed or scared and not want to come back. His first visit was very quick and smooth. I was amazed at how he spoke the entire time about the sugar bugs doing backflips and distracted him from the Novacaine shot by telling him he was freezing the sugar bugs. My son did not even know it was happening. He let me sit right next to him and allowed me to hold his hand the entire time. My son watched his favorite movie since they mount their televisions on the ceiling. Brilliant! My son also handled the laughing gas very well. They put a pink plastic dome over his nose which also helped with his view being blocked to see what was going on in his mouth. They used a protective shield around the tooth to protect his tongue from getting in the way. Everything was so well organized and he worked so well with the dental hygienist Savannah. She was so on the ball and quick and responsive to the dentist's needs. Afterwards they let my son pick out a toy out of the treasure chest and Dr. Young even showed him how to use the little skateboard toy. I think that personal touch makes all the difference because you know they really care about your little one. Dr Young even made a follow up call to us to see how my son was doing and feeling. We go back next week for the next procedure. And now my son and I are both happy and ready to go back. I am so thankful for Dr Young and his staff! I'm definitely bringing my other son here for his dental check ups and possible future treatments for many years to come. If I could give Young Smiles more than five stars I would. read more

Absolutely recommend. Every employee from the front desk, hygienist, and doctors are incredibly friendly, kind and professional. They make my kiddos feel so comfortable and at ease. Pretty cool when your kids can't wait to go to their next dentist appointment! read more

By far the BEST dentist we have ever worked with. He is kind and patient to my boys. Their office is very clean and very welcoming for kids. I am so glad we found Dr. Young. I HIGHLY recommend him as your next pediatric dentist! read more

I am so thankful we found them!!! We moved here from Orange County and needed a new dentist for our boys. We've been going here for almost 3 years now every 6 months and wow!! I am blown away every single time. They always ensure that they can do all 3 of my boys at once. They run like a well oiled machine. But even more important is the level and quality of care. The techs are so sweet with my kids. And the 2 dentists we've seen are INCREDIBLE as well. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Having moved from LA to the valley we didn't have as many options when it came to pediatric dentists. Many were just churn and burn type places where the dentist books 10 kids at once and just runs from chair to chair to see as many as possible. We went with a local one that had good reviews (I'm thinking they were well reviewed because of the price) and we regretted it. We tried nitrous sedation for my son and it didn't have an effect on him. He needed a lot of work done as the previous dentist has been pushing back the work for over a year and a half because my son wouldn't cooperate, meanwhile the decay kept getting worse. We finally were informed that IV sedation was an option and searched for a reputable dentist who could do this. We are so glad we found Dr. Young. He is professional, friendly and patient. His office was never completely busy, which usually would lead to pushed back appointments at other dentists. His entire staff is friendly and put us at ease. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Andrew, was also professional and put us at ease on what the entire procedure would be like. Nicole at the office worked with us to get the date/time that worked for us and really put in the effort to accommodate our requests (thank you so much Nicole, we wouldn't have been able to schedule if you hadn't made it work for us). As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. The IV procedure is not cheap but for something this intense on someone so young, I'd gladly pay it again for the level of professionalism and expertise that Dr. Young and Dr. Andrew bring to the table. We will definitely be back for routine cleanings. read more

For us, it is very important that my kids feel comfortable with the dentist and the rest of the staff. Comfort can be measured ( not limited to) when the kids are willing to go back to their respective appointments, smooth behavior throughout the procedure and their ability to discuss how they felt after. My kids are very much happy with Dr. Young, i know my kids are brave enough to go through procedures without unnecessary sedation , but because all the staff know how to calm down their patients and explaining detail of the procedure in a way where kids understand without scaring the beegeezuss ( dont want to use the name of my God in vain) out of them. We are proud patients of Dr. Young. Let me also add, the clinic is clean, cute, and FREE coffee ........ !!!!!!!! Definitely recommend this clinic read more

Just brought my 2 girls to Dr Young and team and it was a positive and relaxing experience. Our 10 year old and 2 year were comfortable and cooperative for the cleaning and checkup due to the nice staff, kid oriented rooms, and Dr Young's gentle demeanor. I also liked that Dr Young had me look at anything he found so I could see exactly what he was talking about. We are new to the area and were worried about having to find a dentist but glad now we found Young Smiles. We had a concern about a loose tooth after the visit and Dr Young was quick to call us back and reassure us it was just a baby tooth and everything was ok . read more

Dr. Young is great! However, I transferred care for my 4 kids because their schedule is very inflexible. I don't really feel the need to take my kids out of school for a cleaning. I had appointments for them during winter break that I had made for them over the summer at their last cleaning in June. But I had to reschedule the timing of our appointment. The next available appointment for the 4 of my kids, not during school hours, was in June. More than 6 months later. Sorry, Dr. Young, you are great, but we needed a facility with a little more flexibility than that. read more

Today was our first time coming to Young Smiles and we loved it! If your little one isn't a fan of the Dentist, fear no more Dr. Young and his staff will put that to ease! Well at least for me they did. The office is decorated so cute! Very kid welcoming. The staff was amazinggggg and friendly! My daughter is 3 and loved the play house and the toys. When they called her named they brought out a dragon stuffed animal that had teeth and a big tooth brush. They told her to brush the dragons teeth. That is a great idea! After that my daughter was so comfortable with the dental assistant that she did a wonderful job letting them see her teeth! I loved how kid friendly the staff and the doctor is! They explained everything very well to me and answered all of my questions. I recommend every parent to bring their child here. This will be my daughters Dentist from here on out. read more

I can't express how grateful I am to this Dentist. He truly has a special gift for treating children. He is not in my insurance but I don't mind. My son had a filling yesterday and he didn't feel a thing. My son can't wait to go back. When I was his age I was terrified and would hide the reminder cards to go to the DDS. Dr. Young said he would call to follow up that day but I did not receive a call. read more

I would give ZERO stars if I could. Made an appointment for my son who has a broken tooth. Arrived to the office and was turned away because his temperature was 99.4. Ok I get it, we all have to be safe these days. But how much closer to perfect can you ask for? They had him sit in the waiting room (with other patients BTW) to see if his temp would go down. Nope, it went up. We sit in their hot waiting room with masks on, what do you expect? So we reschedule for a week out. Walk in, get temperatures check. Sam thing happens! Doctor wants to examine him so he can collect his exam fee, but insists we have to wait until no patients are in the back. Excuse me? We are sitting in the waiting room with two patients. What does it matter what room we are all in? And they wouldn't say they will treat him. No thank you, I walked out so quick. Drive home maybe 5 minutes, check his temp, and it's 98.5! I would never recommend going to this dentist. What a waste of time. read more

This is the best dentist that I've ever experienced. So kind and patient. Great with kids. My son was super nervous and they calmed his nerves. Dr. Young really is the best! read more

Can I give 10 STARS? PLEASE???? We brought our son to Young Smiles Pediatric Dentistry as a new patient and had a spectacular experience. From initial booking to farewell, the process was smooth. The registration process for new patients is online and can be easily completed from the comfort of your home. When we arrived to the clinic we were given a warm welcome by Alana. She explained the procedures to be performed and insurance coverage. My son was nervous since it was his first dental appointment. Jen was his dental hygienist and picked up on his apprehension. She handled the situation wonderfully by creating a fun environment to capture his interest (showing him the tools and teaching him how they are used) and welcoming him to the overhead TV....that was an excellent distraction. Dr. Young was very patient, personable and professional. He was outstanding at connecting with my son and involving him the process in such a manner that was interesting to him. We were impressive at how calm and engaged our son had become. We also appreciated the education we received about pediatric dental health. Our son loved his experience and did not want to leave. Before departing he received a dental goodie package (tooth brush, floss and tooth paste) and Season happily secured us our next appointment and wished us a great day. I highly recommend Dr. Young and his team. They will meet and surpass your expectations! read more

I love this place. They are kind and work very well with my kids. They even seen my stepdaughter in the same day as my youngest. I requested the x-rays and received them with no problems. My oldest son hasn't stopped talking about his visit. Doctor Young explains things multiple times to ensure you understand what is going on. The only thing that I dislike is the price of their mobile anesthetists, but it's a price I'd pay for a great dentist for my kids. read more

My 8 year old chipped his front permanent tooth over the weekend and was worried about going to school and having kids see it. Dr. Young's office was closed on Monday, but Dr. Young and Jenny (the assistant) came in to treat my son anyway. My son is beyond excited to have his tooth back to normal. Thanks for all you do Dr. Young. read more

So far so good! My son has a gag reflex so this was the third dentist we have seen, but at young smiles the hygienist actually cared. The X-ray process was way better than anywhere we have been. With no gagging at all! Which if you know ... you know! Everyone was so nice and the dentist let me see what she was talking about with his bite and crowding instead of just telling me. I appreciate the time and patience that we experienced. Thank you read more

I checked yelp and facebook for a good pedriatric Doctor for my 2 kids and i found this clinic. They were awesome during scheduling. Dr. Young told me that my daughter needs to have 4 crowns on her upper teeth. He told me that she needs to have IV Sedation (discussed pricing, copay ang procedure). I was surprised because she was really good during the cleaning and x-ray procedures. I told him i will need to discuss with my husband before making any decisions. I emailed them the following day asking: Hi Karen, (front desk) Thank you for the great experience yesterday. My husband and i spoke about my daughter's procedure. He is asking if there is another option that you can do to avoid IV Sedation? We trust your doctor don't get me wrong but as a person who worked in Operating Room and has seen tons of patients who had General Anesthesia, this scares him as a father. Also, can we can a copy of her X-ray results? Thank you. Cristine Monday i have not heard back from any of them. Tuesday i called and Jennie answered. I asked for copies of Xrays. She told me that she'll email me a copy and Dr. Young will call me within the day. Wednesday no call. Thursday no call. Is this how they really treat their patients?? I'm so disappointed. read more

Dr. Young is AMAZING! His bedside manner with my nervous 4 year old daughter was amazing. We unexpectedly were informed that our daughter needed an extensive amount of work on 10 of her teeth, I was very nervous about doing it under general anesthesia, but because of her age and not being able to handle the work needed even with laughing gas, we decided to go forward. Dr. Young encouraged me to think about it and talk to other dentists if needed. He didn't pressure us at all, he truly has the child's best interests at heart. The day of the scheduled appointment Dr. Young and Dr. Andrews (the anesthesiologist) were very patient and thorough with easing my nerves and explaining everything to me, they both were amazing! They were very precise and used their time effectively so as to get everything done in the least amount of time possible. Such a great team of Doctors and assistants! My daughter made it through all the work and is healing up nicely. She doesn't remember a thing except that she was sleepy and she got a toy . I am so grateful for their attention to detail and tender care they gave to my precious tiny little girl during what I would consider a major dental visit! I highly recommend this office to all my friends and family and any others who are looking for a great local dentist for their child! read more

The best dentist I've dealt with. They are super informative and did great with my son. Took the extra time to describe everything to him so he wouldn't be scared. Actually made the experience fun for him! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Young to anyone. Him and his staff are extremely caring and helpful. Dr. Young takes his time to carefully explain things and is great at making our daughter feel comfortable.

We love Dr. Young and his staff! read more

I rarely post full blown reviews but here's the deal, DR YOUNG IS AMAZING WITH KIDS AND IS A GREAT DENTIST. My children came in for a cleaning and he was great with all 3 (a 1 year old, 5 year old, and almost 8 year old). He understood how to make them comfortable and how to explain things to them. My 5 year old had to have a procedure done and he explained every step in a way he would understand and kept him at ease the whole time. He explained every tool and showed him everything. He has baskets and bins for age appropriate toothbrushes (yes even for my 1 year old). The whole office is nice and helpful. This is literally the best dentists office. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Absolutely loved this place. From the moment you walk in they truly make your kids feel comfortable and excited about being at the dentist. Dr. Young was so friendly and great with both my kids aged 22 months and 3 years old. Thank you for making my kids first visit to the dentist a positive experience. read more

Dr.Young and his staff are very friendly and welcoming. My son had a fit in the waiting room and they were accommodating and friendly about it. Also, they take covid seriously and are not booking every seat like other dentists in the area. Thank you Dr.Young! read more

We came to this pediatric dentist after having a very bad experience at a different dentist in menifee, Dr.Young and his staff are very professional and are amazing with kids. They made my daughter feel safe and made sure after her appointment that she was doing well. She was put to sleep for her work and Dr.young even walked us to our car to make sure she was okay. I live in Canyon lake and will continue to make the drive to take my daughter to this practice. read more

Absolutely amazing we were taken back and seen right away. The staff and doctor made my daughter feel so comfortable and explained every step to her she was so nervous at first and they had her laughing and smiling! They answered every question we had and took their time! read more

My two and a half year old is a chronic finger sucker (not his thumb, just two of his fingers). This gave him huge cavities in his front, top baby teeth. I took him to our regular dentist, but was referred to Dr. Young because we needed a pediatric dentist. Dr. Young has been nothing short of amazing! He is so patient, kind, and great with little ones. I don't know how prices compare to others, but it seems reasonable to me. I pay out of pocket as we don't have dental insurance. But the process is easy and I will keep coming back anytime my kids have dental issues. In fact, I'm getting ready to set up an appointment for my 4 year old. I almost forgot to mention, my kids love going there. The waiting room is very entertaining. It makes me happy to see the kids having fun in a dental office waiting room. Complete opposite of how it was when I was little and going to dentists in LA county. read more

Great staff and DR. Young was so amazing. Came to talk to me personally about his examination and the work he recommended that needed to be done. They helped me with everything we needed with getting a second opinion with work (baby root canal and some fillings) that need to be done with my 6yr old. First time work had to be done and my daughter did great with them. The dr made her comfortable (gave her laughing gas for the procedure) and let her take breaks when she needed it. Def a good first experience for her. Pricing was also same pricing other offices quoted us for the work so they aren't over priced and very reasonable and willing to work with you. She didn't even end up needing the baby root canal which was great! We only came here for a second opinion but they gain a new patient for how courteous and helpful they were. read more
