The earlier good oral hygiene habits are learned, the more likely they are to stick. By getting your child in to see the dentist at a young age, you are setting him or her up for a lifetime of healthy teeth, which can help to avoid all kinds of other health issues. Dr. Jacob Myers and his team are happy to provide top-quality pediatric dentistry services for the Lansing area.
Isn't it possible to get the same services if you take your child to a general dentist? That depends. The training for general and pediatric dentists is actually a little different. Pediatric dentists take a couple of extra years to complete specialty courses that focus on treating children with special health care needs.

I highly recommend Dr. Jacob Myers! My almost 4-year-old daughter had a GREAT experience this office! Her dental hygienist, Lisa, was excellent at talking to my daughter and explaining things to her. Dr. Myers and the front office staff were also very kind and interacted well with my child, who is usually anxious in new situations. (She had previously been going to a dentist who was a general practitioner and she would barely let the dentist examine her teeth, not to mention clean them.) At Dr. Myers' office she had no fear at all!

I made an appointment with this office 3 months ago for my former foster son. He has a complicated medical history but currently is healthy and not considered a high risk dental patient according to all of his specialists and his PCP. I warned the office about his conditions at the time of appointment scheduling, and was told that we will discuss at our first visit. Flash forward to 3 days before our scheduled appointment. I get a phone call from a receptionist who told me that the dentist has cancelled our appointment because he is too risky to be seen in their office. Since he has been cleared

I was very upset that I was pressured into leaving my barely 4 year old to go back to her appointment alone. I told them I was uncomfortable and they brushed it off and pressured more and one of the dental hygienist became very annoyed. I had my 18 month old with me, so I had no choice but to leave my 4 year old, or leave and cancel the appointment. I should have just canceled but Covid had already delayed their dental care by months. I’m very upset the office put me in that position. Especially when my daughter wanted me there and she acts fine when I’m in the room. Two stars instead of 1

My family has really enjoyed going to this office. They have a whimsical train that travels throughout the office. The staff are all very kind and knowledgeable and my kids were never afraid of going to the dentist! Unfortunately, I switch jobs and they don't work with my current insurance, otherwise we would stay with them. A great option for folks with Delta Dental!

My son is 2 and a half years old. He had his second dentist appointment with Dr Myers. The staff is very warm and friendly. They are taking all Covid precautions including ventilation and vaccinations for staff - this tells me they take your health seriously. Lisa, my son's hygienist, was extremely friendly and engaging. She did an excellent job explaining the sounds and feelings of dental instruments. My son was a bit shy at first but the choo choo train that goes around the office and a big, stuffed Mickey Mouse in the corner helped ease the tension. Bedside manner aside, the staff is very open

Dr. Myers and his team were amazing! Our 20 month old suffered a dental injury one night while we were on vacation in Michigan. After a quick Google search while were in the ER at Sparrow I stumbled upon his pediatric dentist office. I called the emergency line in a panic and he listened to me and eased my worries, even though we were not patients. He had his receptionist call us first thing in the morning with his availability and they were able to work us in that day. His entire staff was very helpful and accommodating. They took x-rays and photos and sent them on to our dentist here in Kansas

I love Dr. Jacob Myers and his office! Since COVID 19 started, Dr. Myers ALWAYS emailed the parents to let them know what was going on and what the new protocols were. I always knew what was happening and was never out of the loop during the WHOLE process with COVID 19. I also have an autistic child and the staff is WONDERFUL with him!!! They work with him and make notes about what works best for my son. They also give a ton of praise which is awesome!! I am a helicopter mom and I feel COMPLETELY comfortable with me waiting in the lobby/car until my kids are done with there appointment!!! Everyone

We have been seeing Dr. Dan and Dr. Jake for 10+ years and have never had a bad experience. The front office staff is always friendly and understanding through our separate households and insurance. The hygienists are gentle, funny, and do a fantasied job. Dr. Dan and Dr. Jake are phenomenal. Nether of my children have any fear of the dentist, have had cavities filled with no complaints of discomfort and genuinely look forward to going. Our only complaint is that our kids have graduated from their care.

We have been going to Dr. Jake for years & my 2 sons love him! He makes them feel so at ease and ready for whatever service they are receiving that day. We have had cleanings, fillings & a couple chipped teeth. Dr. Jake is always professional and personal. You can see that he truly loves what he does every day. Thank you!
