Turlock Children's Dentistry

Great service friendly staff.

Two of my kids have been going to Turlock Children’s Dentistry for quite a while now, and unfortunately every visit has involved waiting 40+ minutes past our scheduled appointment time before being called back. The first few times, I assumed it was just a one-off situation caused by another child needing extra time or care. But after it continued happening consistently, it became clear that this is more of a scheduling issue and that too many patients are being booked at once. The waiting room is always packed, and when we finally do get called back, the appointments themselves feel rushed and very quick. If you’re okay with long waits and fast appointments, this office may work fine for you. But with three small children, spending that much time at the dentist simply isn’t practical for our family, so we’ve decided to find a new office.

It was my son’s first time at the dentist. It was a good experience for the most part and only because I had to advocate for my son who had a dental assistant that did not work well with kids. Being that it is a children’s dentistry, you would think that they would hire personal that work well with kids. She was very rude and instantly wanted to give up on helping my child. The doctor asked for an X-ray to be done on my son and she immediately complained and was very negative throughout the time she was working on my son. She told me she had to do a cleaning on my son, like it was very unfortunate, and that she might not even start since she did not know how he was going to react. So I told her that as long as she treats him well he would be fine. Long story short, I had to ask for his initial dental assistant to replace her. My son instantly changed his reaction. He felt comfortable as he should have been throughout his entire experience.

Turlock Children’s Dentistry has been an excellent choice for our family. The entire team is incredibly patient and knows exactly how to make kids feel relaxed and safe. The office is bright, clean, and clearly designed with children in mind, which helped ease my child’s nerves right away. The dentist took time to explain everything in simple terms and never rushed the appointment. It’s refreshing to find a place that truly cares about children’s comfort while still delivering professional, high-quality dental care. Highly recommended for parents looking for a trustworthy pediatric dentist.

This place is really really good especially for kids with ADHD or are anxious or scared of the dentist. The staff is extremely Nice and all the dentist are Great at what they do!

The dentist and hygienists are always nice and welcoming. My issue with this office is the front staff. They never greet you or acknowledge that you are standing infront of them just because they are busy in their computers. Front staff needs to work on that. The 3 times I've been here it's always the same scenario.

We've been coming here, always great experience but today was extra with Geraldine, she assisted us. She was so polite and sweet. You can tell she loves her job. I wish she can assist us every time we come. She cleaned his teeth today. Kids love coming here because after they get a gold coin for a toy, a plus.
