Bangor Children's Dentistry
Starting at the first visit we will build a relationship with the parent and the child that is based on trust, communication, and a positive environment. Good oral health is vital for a child's development. We take pride in creating and maintaining beautiful and healthy smiles for our younger patients in an environment that is lighthearted and fun.

Our dental office uses state-of-the-art equipment, and we strive to make your child's visit with us as pain and anxiety free as possible. Here are a few of the reasons people travel from Central to Downeast Maine to see us. Dr. Marcus Wilkerson grew up in Fulton, Missouri and received his BA in History from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Dr. Marcus Wilkerson grew up in Fulton, Missouri. He received his BA in History from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. Wilkerson continued his education at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry where he earned his DDS. During dental school, he worked in the Special Patient Care Clinic as well as several outreach clinics and was a National Health Services Corps Scholar.
We have books, games, TVs, and a kid-friendly environment for children to feel more at home. Chairs for the parents in the treatment rooms, headphones and TV's everywhere, murals painted everywhere, anxiety medication, and prizes for the children. At Bangor Children's Dentistry we are dedicated to providing a compassionate environment for your child's dental care.
Your child's first visit to our practice establishes a vital foundation for our relationship with you and your child. During the first visit, we make sure to obtain important background information for your child and give them time to get to know the dentist. Our friendly staff is dedicated to your child's oral health and well-being.
Our dental hygiene program focuses on preventing decay, preserving teeth, and keeping your child's mouth as healthy as possible. Our Hygienists work with parents to make kids feel comfortable. Parents are encouraged to be with their children during all visits to our office. Working together, the parents, hygienists, and dentists formulate a customized plan that will care for each child.
We offer several different choices of white filling material. Recommendations of what material to utilize while restoring your child's teeth depends on their individual needs and desires. For example, a recommendation for a back molar could be very different from what might be recommended for a front tooth.

I have been calling since another dentist referred us back in November over my daughters toothache I have left countless voicemails and still no call back. Which is ridiculous do they need a new referral person. That'll actually do their job

Compassionate! Amy works slowly and kindly with my kiddo who is very worried about getting her teeth cleaned. Each visit gets easier for her. Thank you! :-)

I took both of my children in and the whole crew there was so kind and thoughtful, especially considering they hadn't been in a while due to insurance issues. I've had some pretty horrible dentist experiences where they were downright cruel. I absolutely appreciated how comfortable and genuinely kind they are. My youngest identifies as female and they didn't hesitate to make her feel comfortable and use her proper pronouns with no question. I'm so glad I was referred to them and am so happy with my children's experience thus far.

Been trying to get an appointment for over 4 months. The scheduler hasn't returned my calls or answered my messages or emails. I saw on fb that their phones had been down and fixed but still have not had been able to make an appointment.

I will update this review following our appointment. However, my initial experience with this entity has been extremely frustrating. It took me several days of calling and leaving messages that went unreturned just to get through and book an initial appointment. Then I had insurance questions. Their website does not have any information regarding insurance acceptance. My insurance provider listing only had a couple of the providers listed and some of them only listed at the Augusta address. The front office tried to tell me that it was ok, if listed at one office they would accept my insurance

I have called two weeks in a row for a new patient appt for my children and left a message both times as that was the only option given. I have YET to receive a call back and will therefore be taking my business else where. Very disappointing.

Best dental care for children! Open doors where parents join the child is the paradigm of the future. Wonderful staff and adorable office space.

They are extremely slow here. My daughter had appointment @ 7:30 we have been waiting forever!! The time is now 10:00 and still haven't worked on my daughter teeth!! Unacceptable that you have us wait this long!! Not happy and if she does have to come back we will not come back here!! We will find somewhere else!! When a client sets an appointment for a certain time I understand things happen but honestly this is beyond crazy how they think this is okay!! Not happy parent!!!
