Services
We are especially interested in making all our patients feel right at home! We put your needs first to achieve efficient and comprehensive treatment. Our staff is trained and skilled, and we strive to provide energetic and fun-loving service to each patient. Each member of our team has years of experience in treating patients with the highest level of care.
Along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend that a child's first dental visit be scheduled by his/her 1st birthday. It is very important to make the first visit as positive and enjoyable for the child as possible. We want your child to enjoy getting to know our doctor and staff and be comfortable at all times.
Normally the first tooth erupts between ages 6 to 12 months. Gums are sore, tender and sometimes irritable until the age of 3. Rubbing sore gums gently with a clean finger, the back of a cold spoon or a cold, wet cloth helps soothe the gums. Teething rings work well, but avoid teething biscuits-they contain sugar that is not good for baby teeth.
Sedation dentistry refers to the use of sedation during dental treatment. Sedation is most commonly used during extensive procedures, for patients with dental phobia or for patients who find it difficult to sit still. There are different types of sedation, including nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"), IV sedation, oral sedatives and general anesthetic.
Use a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small strip of fluoride toothpaste, unless the child is under the age of 3. If a child is younger than age 3, parents should clean their child's teeth with water and a soft-bristled toothbrush. After age 3, parents should supervise brushing. Use no more than a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and make sure children do not swallow excess toothpaste.

Took my 8 year old & my 13 month old here for the first time after having issues with 8 year old's previous dentist. AMAZING experience. All the staff was friendly & awesome interacting with my 13 month old. The actual chairs & work areas were VERY clean & open. Being able to see what work was being done was important to me & I was able to do that. Everything that was being done was explained clearly & made so you could understand. Dr. Henry was awesome with my 8 year old. Made her feel comfortable & talked to her to keep her distracted. Explained what she was doing

Worst Dentist to take your kids too. When I asked about alternative treatment or questioned about cavities I was told if I didn't agree then I could leave. Worst bed side manners from a dentist. Went to go get a second opinion and they refused to give the xrays to the other dentist. She just wants your money and doesn't care about the health or well-being of your child. If I could rate a zero I would.. DO NOT take your child or children here.
This dentist will over diagnose just to make money.
Next Dentist did not have the same opinion about his treatment.

This place is unprofessional at its finest! My kids had a referral from the orthodontist for work to be done. Let's just say they did not do the work! Well they did but the wrong tooth! Dr. Henry the DDS herself supposedly did the work. She claim her system did not notify her of the referral! The referral was sent on 6/27/19 and hand delivered the appointment was 9/3/19. Not sure where the ball was dropped but if the dentist herself can't follow instructions I would hate to see the staff follow instructions. Oh we returned on 9/4/19 she was refusing to see my daughter until we signed

My toddler's personality changes with each visit and the staff and Dr. Henry adjust accordingly to her mood. When she's cooperative, they take advantage and take their time. When she's not cooperative and crying, they move expeditiously with the most important aspects.
My son with autism is very comfortable with the staff.
I absolutely love their open office concept; it makes our visits so transparent.
It's also nice to have woman of color as a dentist for my daughter to look up to.
I travel a bit out of the way for a reason: it's worth it!

The office is not as organized as it used to be. The front office receptionist Talia is rude. My children have been going to Dr. Henry for 5 years. My son has been getting work done in his mouth for a few months now. Today he had another appointment. My husband ask me to call and confirm the appt. When I called, I asked Talia to check if he still needed to come. She says the equipment needed to complete his work has not been delivered. So if i would not have called the office, my husband would have wasted time and gas going there. Long story short, my experience with this dentist is not the same

I have been very pleased with Dr. Henry and her staff. My son had his first cleaning at age 2 and he has been back every 6 months since then. Each visit (we've had 3 so far) has been EXTREMELY pleasant with little to no wait time. The hygienists make him comfortable by talking to him and explaining their next move. They also clean his teeth swiftly and effectively. When Dr. Henry completes the dental examination, she ensures that she answers all of our questions and never rushes through.

Dr. Henry and staff are awesome!! Ms.Kim has such a gentle touch when cleaning my son's teeth. The practice thoroughly explained every procedure that was going on. The office is clean and the waiting area with toys and tv monitors helps to keep the children occupied while waiting. The front office staff is very professional and everyone is treated with respect. As a parent that has dental anxiety, I wish that I had a dentist like this when I was younger. I love Dr. Henry and staff! After your visit, I'm sure you will too!!!

I've taken my daughter here once due to it being closer to home.. I've come to the conclusion that i don't feel its worth keeping my business here due to the following reasons.
@ Just Kids Dentistry
* you cant get an afternoon appointment unless your child is 7 yrs old or older.
*The waiting area is very small and can get crowded-
*When you take your child back to be seen the seats are all in a studio pool area & not given any privacy!. . kids get easily distracted when a child is crying or conversations among other clients & staff.

My 4 year old son had his first experience at this location today. Unfortunately the girl cleaning his teeth had no idea how to interact with a shy child and even worse when he got a little scared during the cleaning(his first). She didn't tell him anything she was about to do the entire time and got frustrated when he was upset. She tries to use stickers and treasure chest box to bribe the kids instead of being competent with children and try relating to them and understanding them.
If I was the dentist the dental hygienist that worked with my son would no longer be employed, especially

We had just moved to the area and my son needed to go to the dentist (not in pain, but past due for an appointment). The earliest appointment was 2 weeks from the original call, but they told us they took our insurance so we decided to go with them. Then 30 minutes before the appointment I got a call that we were not covered. Some people may think this is not a big deal, but my son has been waiting for an appointment and we've wasted all this time and now will have to wait for another appointment at a different dentist. The main thing is that the patient has had to suffer when he could have

This is not my kid's normal dentist but I had to get my son's tooth pulled because they just would not fall out even after my many attempts using an apple and dental floss. I called the office this morning and I was able to get squeezed in. My son had a wonderful experience and was in a great mood after leaving the office. I can tell that he really liked it there. Everyone that works there was super nice and you can tell that they really enjoy what they do!...I highly recommend this practice for anyone with children!

Dr. Henry and her staff are always welcoming and kind to my children. I love the reminders too for their appointments. We get text reminders and emails way in advance so that we have time to reschedule if need be. Their time is important, and ours is also, so I appreciate that they are always on time bringing my kids to the back for their appointment. Also, you can sit in the back and watch the kids have their appointment if you would like to be with them! You will not be disappointed!

I have high expectations when it comes to dentist and doctors for my child. I looked up the reviews on Just Kids Dentistry and decided to give them a try. It was a decision I have NOT regretted. The staff is just wonderful and caring. You can tell they really love what they do and they love working with the children. She has already been to 2 appointments. One to get her teeth cleaned and and exam and the second to have a cavity filled. Both times both my daughter and me have left happy. My daughter was nervous about going to the dentist for the first time and now she just can't wait to go back

I just switched to Just Kids Dentistry after leaving the larger, well-known practice of Tebo Dentistry. JKD & Dr. Henry are WONDERFUL. Everything is better. Their tone with the children, the facility, the comfort level in the office, and don't get me started on the financial practices. Tebo made us pay everything up front and only refunded the insurance portion 5 months after the procedure. Not cool considering the amount they asked us to pay in advanced was $3000.
At JKD, my daughter had 3 fillings and an extraction that needed to be done. They didn't force sedation on us, but she

I wanted to like this place, and I gave Dr. Henry 2 chances because I really wanted to like this practice-- that atmosphere, the staff, the location for us was all great. For both of my child's visits, the staff was really great. However, when Dr. Henry came over she didn't say hi or introduce herself, nor did she explain what she was going to do to my child, etc. On the first visit, Dr. Henry made a rude comment to me which I let slide thinking she was having an off day and perhaps just lacked tact. The 2nd visit is what sealed the deal. What sent me over the edge was watching her spend

Ive been going to this dentist hoping that she will improve with her attitude, but this is the way she is. When she comes in to check my kids she almost never says hi or explain what she is doing until I have to ask her and then she answers with attitude. The staff is really nice and Dr Henry is still nice yo the kids. As a parent I am not happy at all with the way she talks and behaves with me.
