Childrens Dental World

Zero stars, endangering children for $
Con-​job smash and grab… this dental group saw my 18 month old and 3 ½ yr old. We had a great dentist before then we switched to an HMO plan that then sent us to this place. It was clean, people were nice… Dentist’s were very nice.
BUT:
They looked at my 3 ½ yr old and said we need to take X-​rays??? our previous dentist hadn’t done that or even mentioned it. I started to think something was wrong when the X-​ray mouth pieces wouldn’t fit in my 3 yr olds mouth but they insisted… Then they only got ½ the mouth X-​rayed… They then did an examine said all was fine, except on the X-​rays that came back my 3 yr old had a cavity and they were going to need to fill it and put him under for the process. That’s when my common sense and street smarts kicked in, who the f#%$ puts a 3 yr under and on major anesthesia unless they have a dire medical emergency! I immediately said ok, whatever you say. Let them look in the mouth of my 18 month old… I told them he didn’t need a cleaning or anything because I wanted to leave ASAP.
They then gave me a quote on the cavity for $ 950… And said let’s make an appt for this today and I said no we’ll be out of town, which was a lie of course… Left home feeling awful about this place and the parents and kids who’ve been duped by this place and have had unnecessary procedures done.
That week we signed up for a PPO dental plan. We picked a new dentist in a great place in BH! Very nice and real calm with the kids… I asked him about X-​rays and the cavity he said «we don’t X-​ray until 5 – 6 yrs old, because of radiation exposure and they just don’t need it when they are that young.» As for the cavity he said «your child teeth are perfect and has zero cavities».
So F this place they are pieces of S! Telling me my 3yr old had cavities and they want to put him under for $ 950… I feel sorry for those without the means to purchase better insurance… DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE, THEY ARE NICE AND FRIENDLY BUT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING OR THEY JUST REALLY REALLY WANT TO TAKE YOUR $$$$
Now they just sent me a bill for $ 212 for the 3yr old and $ 110 for 1 yr old… We had insurance, so there should be no charge! Another reason this place should be shut down. This is what spurred me to finally write a review, I never write bad reviews unless something is really really wrong.
I am also writing a letter to BBB and my City Councilman and the dental board of CA. It’s that serious!
Zero stars

I took my kids for a dental check up, and I was impressed by the staff. They were clearly busy, but made a point of being cheerful and happy when greeting me. I appreciated the efficiency and pleasant approach. Dr. Joe was great with my kids — he has an upbeat attitude and really has a great way with children. Rosa was awesome too — she did a wonderful job informing me every step of the way how the cleaning was going, and pointed out what was good and what needed more attention. She had a good way with kids too. Overall, I would recommend this dental office to anyone with young kids!

Awesome service. Makes our children feel happy about going to the dentist. What else can I say. If they’re happy then I’m happy.

I was contacted by the business owner wanting to apologize for our poor experience here. I am not sure if the ownership changed since our visit in late 2011 but it’s always nice to hear back from management regarding a negative experience so I decided to bump up a star.
PS: Apparently the young blonde dentist we saw doesn’t work there any more.

Loved loved loved Dr. Parnaz Mansouri! I have taken my toddler twice for cleanings. Dr. Parnaz greeted us promptly and had a very calm, caring and sweet way about her. My daughter was instantly charmed. I couldn’t believe how this dentist got my daughter to calmly lay back in her lap and get all of her teeth, «tickled.» She was actually smiling and happy throughout and didn’t want to leave. This lady is a toddler whisperer! I would definitely recommend this dentist. We will be back.

I was referred to this pediatric dentist from my regular dentist. So I was a little concerned that I was not able to chose myself. Only one in my HMO plan. It was discovered that my daughter needed some dental work. I was mortified that my three-​year-​old had cavities. I was afraid of being judged even though I’ve never skipped a day brushing her teeth. The dentist, Parnaz Mansouri, was incredibly helpful and concerned about my daughter. She gave me great tips on how to prevent further ones from happening. Seeing my daughter had medical problems, she referred me to the appropriate hospitals to have her fillings done. The dentist gave me all the numbers and info I needed to get her appointments. I will definitely go back for my regular visits to this office.

Came here on a living social deal… I only really came for the xrays and exam, not the cleaning only because I had a feeling it wouldn’t be a real cleaning and it wasn’t…it was just polishing of the teeth. The staff, however, were really great and friendly and the Dental Assistant seemed to be very good with kids and took the xrays really well and trying to make my child feel at ease. Office seemed very clean and sanitary, as well.
I’m giving it two stars because I’m not sure I’d actually pay money to come here for that kind of cleaning for my child. Real cleanings please! Oh and the dentist doesn’t seem that great with kids… she was really nice though, but didn’t seem to really know how to interact with children, which is important if you’re a pediatric dentist… just saying.

hi everyone! well what can i say about this office is truly amazing i loved it and most importantly my son loves it. i have been taking my son there for almost 2 yrs now and recently he got some work done the dentist was truly amazing and what i loved the most is that she personally called at the end of her day to see how was my son doing! who does that now days!!! the staff is great and they answered all my ?‘s my son is never afraid to go there i still cant get him to floss but is a working progress. i work in the medical field (ob/​gyn) and i recommend my patients to take their children there is truly a great place.
