Services
Our practice values each individual, and we recognize that children and adults with special health care needs require a dental practice that is open and understanding. Individuals with special needs often experience a higher risk of oral diseases which can affect their quality of life and long-term health.
Many people do not anticipate visiting the dentist, but we at Anderson Pediatric Dentistry strive to change that thinking pattern. By creating a fun and exciting dental office design, this makes the space feel comfortable and welcoming for all our patients (and parents too). Suddenly it feels a lot less scary to everyone.
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.
For more information concerning pediatric dentistry, please visit the website for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. A pediatric dentist has an additional two to three years of specialized training after dental school and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through their teenage years and, also dedicated to adults having special needs.
Some children are given nitrous oxide/oxygen - or what you may know as laughing gas - to relax them for their dental treatment. Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a blend of two gases, oxygen and nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide/oxygen is given through a small breathing mask which is placed over the child's nose, allowing them to relax without putting them to sleep.

Been taking my kids here since my 11 year old had his first tooth. But I have finally put my foot down & finding a new dentist. I can not deal with how rude & hateful they can be.
Tried to schedule my daughter an appointment wasn’t asked what it was for just said it would be a month. Told her my daughter has a new tooth growing in over a tooth & she’s in pain said next week at 10 but didn’t say a day. I told her I’d like to get my other two scheduled & was told it would be a different day well I figured but she was very rude so I said I’d find a different dentist & she says ok that’s

I have always brought my two girls here and they have always been gentle and informative with them. As they have gotten older, treatments and such were explained to their level of understanding.
My oldest is now ready to move to the adult dentist and has no issues or fear of the dentist. My youngest also has no fear of going to the dentist.
That is saying something! Thank you.

I brought my daughter here Wednesday for an emergency, they got her in surgery the next day.
Dr. Olabi is amazing, you can tell he’s genuine. The care and compassion he gives, is heartwarming. Dentist office are scary, especially for children. He makes them feel right at home, and he’s so down to earth. I am so pleased with Dr. Olabi and his staff. They are amazing!! I recommend 100%!! Best Pediatric dentist ever!!

Best pediatric dentist around!! So glad I chose this office to bring my kids to! They love the theme and the doctor! The woman in the front was very nice, patient and helpful when planning their next cleaning. All of the staff was really nice! I will definitely recommend to others with kids! Thank you for a great experience!!

This guy is a straight sham, and his office staff is terrible on their best day. Internal arguments between assistants, the only hygienist, who also happens to be his fiancé, belittles staff and that’s when she isn’t getting cursed out by Dr. Olabi, (can’t wait for THAT happy matrimony!) The staff is rough with children, especially for x-rays, and they have zero patience or sympathy for children of any age. So please, don’t let your child come in scared, otherwise they’ll be instantly strapped to a papoose board for 30 minutes, or they’ll spit out the bite wing X-ray from crying, only

I have been an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant with Dr. Olabi {we all call him Dr. O} for more than 3 years. I have witnessed just about every type of patient that has come through this office. Dr. Olabi specializes in Pediatric Dental needs. That means that he is a licensed Pediatric Dentist and went to school for an additional 2 years to become specially trained to treat and care for Children's dental needs. From routine, preventative care to different forms of sedation commonly used to calm apprehensive children while still diagnosing and treating the dental needs of each of his little patients

Called this morning to ask a question lady that answers the phone was rude. Then hung up. Called back and asked to speak to someone else she said "I wasn't being rude" she wouldn't put someone else on the phone. She just kept deny the fact she was rude and hung up on me. There is no way my kids will go here. For the simple fact customer service starts with the front lines. So congrats on your professionalism. Customer service is not just in person it's also on the phone. Hope you improve yourself.
