Although our focus is on the prevention of oral health disease and in the maintenance of optimum oral health, our primary goal is always to try to provide a positive dental experience for our patients. As such, we believe it is vital to create an environment of partnership with parents. Only by working together can we succeed in achieving the best oral health outcomes.
We want parents to be involved in all aspects of treatment whenever possible; including allowing parents to be with their children during exams, cleanings, and procedures. We recognize how difficult coming into a dental office can be for children and parents alike. Be aware that at Gators Tooth Team we will never force any procedure; we want parents to be comfortable with our recommendations and enhance your child's dental experience.

Services
Your child should ideally be seen every six months for routine check-ups and cleanings. Maintaining recall appointments helps us to address any early lesions before they become symptomatic. Radiographs are taken to diagnose lesions (cavities) developing between the teeth. These images, along with a clinical exam by our pediatric dentists, will allow us to do a thorough diagnosis for your child.
We suggest you make an appointment to see the dentist as soon as your child gets his or her first tooth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children be seen by six months after their first tooth erupts, or at one year of age, whichever comes first. The first visit is usually short and simple.
We do our best effort to accommodate to parental needs when scheduling appointments. However, based on many years of experience we are aware that for pre-school children or those requiring extensive treatment, it is more appropriate to see them early in the morning when they are fresher, we can work at a slower pace for their comfort leading to a more pleasant experience.
The American Dental Association (ADA) defines pediatric dentistry as an "age-defined specialty that provides primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through adolescence". The primary reason for pediatric dentistry is that infants, children, and adolescent have special physical and psychological needs.

1st time taking my kids here. Right from the 1st call to make new patient appointment to checking out, everything was perfect. Carlos, the Office Manager took care from start to finish. My 8 year old son was a little nervous like any other child would be sitting on a dentist chair but the hygienist and the dentist both made him extremely happy and comfortable. Any one thinking of making that 1st appointment... Go for it!

Wow. I was in and out of this office in 20 minutes with my son to get his teeth cleaned and looked at. The office was kid friendly, extremely clean and professional. All the staff was great with my son and the dentist we saw was very kind and knowledgeable. So glad I found this office for my kids!!!!!!!

Had to do research after so many bad reviews on other pediatric offices near Pompano FINALLY found a great place. I brought my 2yr old and 7yr old. At the same time which made them both comfortable sitting side by side for cleanings. The hygienist were so pleasant, funny,caring and gentle. The dentist was sweet and very professional and I got to sit through the whole process with them. Not like other offices where they take your children and God only knows anything can be done without parental supervision. Just check out the reviews for Dr. Fransico Jimenez. No thank you! My CHILDREN COME FIRST

Definetely the best experience in this dental office since we moved to Florida. My son had big problems with cavities and he was full of fair going to dentists. We changed a lot of dental offices trying to find a doctor that my son would be cooperative. We were grately surprised what great people and proffesionals work at the Gators. Big thank for manager Carlos for all recommendations, for all help. Especially thanks for doctor Patrick Lolo, who gave a lot of advices and helped to choose the best option for treatment. He did all his best to help my son and we appreciate it so much. I recommend

I drive an hour just to bring my daughter here. By far the best dentist I've EVER been too. Every other dentist I've been too the staff is extremely rude and just doesn't care. It is the exact opposite here. They are very nice and very gentle. The staff here is awesome! I definitely recommend this dentistry. If you're looking for a place for your little one, this is the place.
