Not a very great place for kids

by Katrina Miller

I'm new to the city and found this place looking for a good children's dentist. They might want to try actually MEETING a kid some time. The office is like a converted office space. No art on the walls, no toys in the waiting room.

The dr's are abrupt and did nothing to connect with or calm a nervous child.

My daughter has had dental work done before (she is 7) with out a problem but when she cryed a little during the shot they said they couldn't do the procedure and had her come back after giving her meds to calm her.

On that try they placed the block that holds her mouth open on one of her loose teeth, she tryed to complain that it hurt, and rather than just adjust it, they said they wouldn't be able to do a simple filling with out fully sedating her!

On top of that their staff never has answers to my questions when I call, the messed up the billing, and don't return phone calls.

• Cons: Worst "children's" dentist I have ever seen.

we love the kids place!!

by veryhappykids

My children have been going to the kids place for 5 years and we love it there the dentist are very caring and make my children feel safe which is very important cause as we all know the dentist can be a scary experience for little ones even big ones like me I wish I could go there also LOL !! :) The dental assistance are also wonderful they walk the kids through every thing they are doing and make them feel like they are in charge of everything that is happening to them .We see BRITTANY when we go in she has so far been the kids favorite !! We were in this week and talking afterward about how nice she is and how much they love going there ! I would recommend the kids place to everyone!

• Pros: LOTS OF TLC!!
• Cons: PARKING

Worth the 4000 mile trip.

I don't live in Utah and was in slc visiting family for about 10 days in June. When I called to make my appointment I told the receptionist my situation and she made sure to get me in at the begining of the trip so that there would be plenty of time to schedule a second appointment if needed. Being that I hadn't been to the dentist in about 7 years and my last dentist did a shoddy job, I knew there would be a second appointment. Dr. Rosander was so nice and understanding about my situation. What could have been streched out to 4 sessions was done in a two hour sitting. The assistants, Kristy and Amanda, were great. They helped keep my attention through the shots and then the drilling. They told stories and anecdotes and really kept me entertained while I was sitting there. I'm glad that I waited until this trip to go to the dentist. I will definitely go back to get the remainder of the work done on my next visit.

• Pros: high tech, comfortable, friendly, cookies!
• Cons: a little tricky to find
