The Children’s Dental Practice

Dr. Ruth Bol is so child friendly as a pedi dentist. When the appointment time comes around, I never have to panic. My son looks forward to seeing her. Whew. What a relief. Thank you Dr. Bol for always letting us know where you are working and keeping in touch with your prior patients. We are waiting for our return call for our next appointment. Hugs to «D-​O-​G» the 2^nd.

DO NOT use this dentist for your kids. Most unprofessional, unethical practice. A real shame.

Have taken my 4 yo twice now. Fantastic staff and consistent service every time. My daughter loves going to the dentist (what??!))! Especially with the doggies there ;) Nothing but a great experience all around.

I did a lot of research before choosing a dentist for my 18 month old. This place is very confusing. When you enter the waiting room there are Botox advertisements all over the place. There were no children’s toys or books. Also, the amount of paperwork you have to fill out online is tremendous and not necessary, not to mention the software you use to fill out the forms doesn’t work so I had to print out over 20 pages and bring them in. I did like the receptionist as well as the hygienist. She was fun, upbeat, kind friendly and answered all of our questions. She did a great job of making my child feel comfortable and happy. Then the dentist came in. She was less than warm and without any exchange of niceties or building any sort of trust before telling us to hold her down. She approached my daughter with a big headlamp and scary glasses with a mask and began looking and poking around in my child’s mouth whom immediately started fighting and screaming. What a way to ruin a child’s attitude towards the dentist. We will NOT be returning. I do like the idea of the dog tho, that really helped cheer my child up when the «torture» was over. By the way this was my child’s first ever visit to the dentist so it wasn’t even for a cleaning much less any kind of procedure.

Absolutely incredible experience. I can’t say enough good things about this place.
We took our 1 year old daughter here for her first dental appointment. The waiting room was comfy, and she got to play the PlayStation before going back.
The staff was super sweet, and thoroughly explained everything they were going to do before they did it.
They had me hold my daughter on my lap and leaned her back with her head on the dentists lap so she wasn’t scared.
She was treated like a princess, and everyone was encouraging and loving. They also gave me some advice on how to make teeth brushing at home go smoother.
Deogy was another highlight of our visit. The cute dog comes over and lets the kids pet her. Such a neat idea.
We trust the people here, and look forward to many years of having fun at the dentist! :-)

There is a reason this is rated so high! Staff are AMAZING! No one loves dental work, especially kids. My girls get excited when it’s dental time because they know it’s a fun place, no stress, the waiting room is a fun room? they get to see Deogy, and say hello to the «cool dentists». A must go place for dental work!

Please I beg you to do your homework before going to this dentist. I would ask that you read the reviews that were not included in the rating for this office. There are at least 8 other 1 star reviews, use your common sense to confirm that maybe we all can’t be wrong, especially if we are all singing the same tune: sedate your child for minor work, extract teeth and do fillings on teeth with no decay, baby root canals, then get a 2^nd opinion only to find out none of the recommended work was needed. Here’s what you do. At the end of the reviews, look for the grey wording that states «other reviews that are not currently recommended» Click on that and read for yourself, that is what Unilocal is all about, right? I was shocked to read how many times this has happened before at this office. This dentist should not be practicing dentistry anywhere in this country. Go even further and contact the Tri County Dental Society if you feel you have been a victim. There are plenty of dentists out there who care more about your child than making a buck. Read the reviews and form your own opinion. Focus on the parents who repeatedly say they were told their child needed extensive work and sedation only to find out later it was completely unnecessary. Please take a moment and read the reviews, you will be happy you did. And remember, these are only the people on Unilocal.I wonder how many more are out there with the same story?

Me and my kids love this place!, Dr. Ruth is awesome and explains everything with patience. The staff is great also, they are all very nice and gentle with my boys. The office is very clean and they are very thorough when it comes to wearing gloves and sanitizing before and after treatment. And we just love Deogy!

Amazed at the level of care my little guy has received here from the very FIRST appointment the staff has been consistently friendly, attentive and exceptionally caring.
The waiting room is bright and clean equipped with kid friendly Ipads, magazines, and other electronics — but, that is not the best part of the waiting part — it’s their service dog, Deogy! She sits with the kids and parents.
On our first appointment Dr. Bol introduced herself and her staff, she explained her philosophy of care and went step-​by-​step throughout the appointment. And every appointment we’ve had since then our experiences just keeps getting better and better!
I would recommend Dr. Bol and her entire staff to everyone!

Its nice to have a wonderful children’s dentist in our own community. What makes them unique is there dog therapy. They have a dog that sits In the chair with the patient. The video games and tv aren’t bad either. The main complaint in the other reviews is that they suggest sedation for smaller children. First they judge the children’s stress level during the exam and xray. Great dentist. Nothing in Temecula compares.

I highly recommend this dental office. I took my 7 year old daughter, who previously had a bad experience at another dental office, she was very nervous about going but once we were in the office she felt very comfortable. The waiting room has game for the children to play while waiting, we had a very short wait time. All the staff were very caring and professional. All procedures and pricing were explained prior to treatment. Having deogy (the dog) in the office was very comforting for my daughter. Thanks for a great experience!

I highly recommend The Children’s Dental Practice of Menifee. My nine year old daughter had ten wiggles all done at one time. She was given some sleepy juice and didn’t feel a thing. The dental assistant mentioned that she would feel pain afterward and to give her motrin. My daughter only felt very little to no pain so no motrin was given to her. As for as the price yes they are a little pricey but what dental office isn’t. The staff was very nice and waiting room was awesome with all the games for the kids. I’m glad I finally found a great dentist.

Staff is very friendly, office is super clean, Dr. Ruth is very caring and explains everthing, and the therapy dog is great for getting the kids to relax.

We had a great experience with Dr. Bol and her staff. My son (4 years old) had several cavities and we decided to do IV sedition. The procedure was quick and painless. His appointment was at 9am and he was back home already playing with his toys by 11am. no discomfort, no complaints. They made him feel comfortable and made his dental experience enjoyable. Thank you!

Gentle, caring dentist who really, really listens to the needs of the patient.
Attentive, helpful and friendly staff.
The office, every inch of the office, is as clean as a whistle! Can you say, «Immaculate»? I think they’re floor is cleaner that my doctor’s examining table!
Fun atmosphere for the kids, the wait time is short, and the prices were appropriate for the work.
I read the other reviews and quite frankly, I can understand having budget issues, but cutting corners on my children’s health is not where I want to save a buck. At The Children’s Dental Practice of Menifee a patient gets what they pay for. I’m so grateful that we have a dentist of this caliber to visit in Menifee!

I took my 4 year old here 6 months ago and had some work done on her teeth. 6 months later her fillings are already chipping and they said that they wanted to cap her teeth which would involve a baby root canal along with filling 4 other teeth. I took her for a 2^nd opinion and she did NOT need to have her teeth capped they were just going to fill them correctly and she only had 2 other teeth that needed to be addressed. In my opinion get 2^nd opinions if you go here to make sure they aren’t doing excessive work on your child and overly charging for it. It is really upsetting that they would take advantage of children this way.

Children’s Dental Pratice of Menifee is AMAZING! The staff are all so friendly and caring. My children all 4 of them, love going to this dental office, they especially love Deogy! Best children’s dental office around!

My 8 year old loves it here! She is never afraid of going to the dentist. She loves to visit with Deogy. The staff is great and they explain everything.

This was the place I took my daughter for her first cleaning she had just turned 2. I really liked that they had a dog in there my daughter loved that too. They examined her and I was told she had cavities they had to remove and fill. So they gave me an estimate. When I look, the cost was ridiculous. I looked through it and the lady in the front comes to explain to me what they wanted to do and then the dentist came to me. She asked me what i was interested in Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas), Oral Conscious Sedation (Sleepy Juice), IV Sedation/​General Anethesia, General anesthesia they recommended the iv since it was her first cleaning and they wanted Positive Reinforcement for the kids. But I had a real problem I didn’t want to put my 2 year old baby to sleep. I was so scared to do that. I asked if they could tie her. I wanted her to remember so she would brush her teeth. Since she was in her no brushing stage. But they told me they didn’t believe in that and they thought it was cruel.
so I called another dentist really far from here (San Pedro) where we used to live and they tide her told her it was a blanket for her and that they simply were going to take off the bugs in her teeth and leave her with rainbows and stars. she wasnt scared they did everything without a problem. Now she is 4 and remembers to brush her teeth so there’s no bugs running around in there ;) no cavities and she Marches in there without a problem proud and happy to see the dentist. She has nothing to be scared at, as long as she takes care of her teeth.
