Services
Dr. Annie is a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist who specializes in the treatment of children from infancy to young adulthood including special needs children. She maintains privileges at children's hospitals and surgical centers where she can treat those children who cannot have full treatment in an office setting.
X-ray examinations provide us with essential information about your child's teeth, roots, jaws, and other structures of the head and neck. Our office is very sensitive to concerns about exposure to radiation and will reduce your child's exposure as much as possible.
We prescribe x-rays based on the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, our clinical expertise, and using the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Allowable).All this being said we will not willfully supervise neglectful care of your child by allowing refusal of x-rays every time they are recommended.

Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
The office attempts to schedule at your convenience and when time is available however our primary concern is your child's well being. We strive for the appointment time that will best suit your child's dental needs.
Typically we do not do restorative work at our initial exams or recall appointments (we schedule exactly the amount of time expected for your child's check-up)- On occasion if the schedule allows or if we see an emergent need, we will discuss with you completing treatment same day for everyone's convenience.This is not a guarantee.

Called to see if they accepted my insurance & if they were accepting new patients. This place was recommended by a friend, so I wanted to give it a try. I have twin girls & need to find them a dentist for their first appointment. As soon as the receptionist answered the phone, she seemed bothered & annoyed. She was also very rude!! They don't take my insurance however I would have gladly paid out of pocket considering it was recommended by a friend. However, since the receptionist was SO rude & interrupted me & was rushing me to get off the phone, I will definitely NOT

I took my 3-year old son there today for his first dental appointment ever. The hygienist was friendly and catered to my son well! Dr. Annie was also great and both the hygienist and dentist took the time to explain to me and my son what a good daily cleaning looks like, and my son wasn't scared during any part of the exam because they were very gentle. The reward system was great, too. The appointment was fast and easy, and I was grateful for everything they did. Would definitely recommend.

I had gone with my daughter a few months back, my sister is a dental assistant and the front desk had talked to her about what was going on with my daughters teeth, and spoke to her like she didn't understand ( which i get because not many people do ) but my sister was very polite and said " its okay i understand, i'm a dental assistant". and the ladies at the front just stared at her. After she walked away, they spoke in a high pitch voice saying "oh i'm a dental assistant", mocking my sister. I thought that was very unprofessional and rude. I'm not one

Thanks for your swift response Dr Creato I wish you had done that when I had requested to speak with you (though you still won't return my phone call despite multiple requests). My review of your practice is not based on your policies but whats important for potential patients to understand is that you would not give us an appointment for two months to fill a cavity picked up on a checkup because of "your limited schedule with a one dentist practice". That potentially could have caused multiple other procedures per dental practice who completed my son's care. Practices changing

My daughter was a patient of a different dentist and everything was fine....until it was discovered she had cavities. They tried "laughing" gas and nothing worked. They wanted to try sleep dentistry, which I didn't love the idea of. So I took her to Kidsteeth! First visit they were able to start the process of filling her cavities. She was not anxious or anything. Could not have asked for a better experience. Nothing against the other office, perhaps my daughter was just being difficult but her level of ease at Kidsteeth has won me over completely! Thanks ladies...you rock
