We've been to Jenkins Dentistry for Kids twice for my 18-month-old. Dr. Jenkins and her team are kind, patient, and knowledgeable. They go at the pace of the child, ensuring their comfort throughout the entire visit, making it a fun experience for my little one and hassle-free for me! They take the time to answer every question I have about my child's transitions, teething, eating habits, and brushing progress. The front office staff is efficient and friendly when scheduling appointments, answering insurance questions and welcoming us as we arrive.

Dr. Jenkins has the most caring and compassionate heart towards children. This quality helped our 4 year old daughter get through a very extensive procedure in the best way possible. Not only is Dr. Jenkins amazing with children but her skills are unmatched as well. We cannot stress enough how important our kids are to us and that we don't take our role lightly as parents. Dr. Jenkins treated our daughter as if she was her own child. Our confidence and belief in Dr. Jenkins skills and professonism is why we travelled over 6 hours for our daughter's surgery. Simply put Dr. Jenkins is the best in

I've been taking my kids here since my oldest (almost 12) was 3 years old. Yesterday when we went the experience I would say was our best yet... my 5 year old she was all about exploring everything they were doing and the staff let her get involved and showed her what they were doing and let her "help" with her older siblings. They were so patient with her and let her have that time learning about what they do. Absolutely love this location.

We LOVE Jenkins Dentistry for kids! After working in pediatric dental and currently working in orthodontics, I’m probably pickier than most! Brea has been my daughters assistant every time, not only do I appreciate the consistency with a small child, but she is SO GOOD at her job, she is so kind and gentle with my little one. All the doctors are honest, gentle and kind as well!

After seeing 3 other pediatric dentists (and being unhappy with them) for opinions on some work my 6 year old son needed done, I decided to see Dr Jenkins. I am SO glad I did! She has been so kind, and genuine with us both. She is a master at her craft and made something we were both nervous about easy and fast. I am so thankful for the time and effort she so freely gives to her patients. We live in Raymore, and I will continue to drive 45 mins to see her for all of our dental needs, she is worth it!

Love this dentistry. I recommend it to everyone I know. especially if you have children with any exceptionales. Dr Jenkins is always so patient and allows kids to explore the tools etc so they are more comfortable. I can't say enough how much we love them and worth the 1.5 hour one way drive for us.

Wow! Jenkins Dentistry for Kids is THE BEST! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with kind people welcoming you in! Jennifer and Kathleen were absolutely incredible with my son and reassuring him during his procedure. Giving him encouragement and praise and making sure he was comfortable was exactly what he needed and he’s not worried… about his next appointment now! Dr. Jenkins was equally encouraging and enthusiastic! This practice operates so cohesively and with the best interest of the kids in mind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist for their kiddos

I've put off taking my son to the dentist because I was afraid of how it would go as haircuts have always been a nightmare, trimming is nails is never easy, etc.
Our visit today went so well! All of the staff made him feel so comfortable and he did amazing! I was very pleased. He's 3.5 years.
My 2 year old daughter was still a little nervous,… but they were all very friendly and patient and wanted to make it was about a positive experience to make her feel comfortable.
It was great! I was very pleased. We already made our appointment to go back in 6 months :)

Our 4 year old daughter has been seeing Dr. Jenkins since she was 2 years old and she actually ENJOYS going to the dentist because of her! The staff is super friendly and the office is very clean + great Covid procedures! Dr. Jenkins is phenomenal with kids and even suggested my daughter’s stuffed animal get a balloon too! All around GREAT experience!

It was raining the morning we went to my son’s very first dentist appointment. Two other families checked in, we then walked to check in. With my one year old & two year old I was told the waiting room was full and I would have to walk back to my car and wait for them to call. We waited under the awning, and good thing we didn’t go back to the car because they called us in within 5 minutes. I’m a little perturbed they saw a woman with two young kids and told her to leave in the rain & wait in her car. It’s about time to utilize the waiting room & if people don’t feel comfortable doing

I accidentally forget to ask for interpreter for the appointment. I was busy on that day and cannot wait for interpreter to show up. They were very willing to communicate and work out. They helped my three years old son feel comfortable and relax with dentists. My son look forward for next appointment with them! They are awesome!

It was our first time coming here and it was an incredible experience! My son is very apprehensive and was originally going to a different dentistry however I felt that maybe if we explored a different office he might be able to tell me which one he enjoyed best to help him become more comfortable. Jenkins & Leblanc won him over immediately upon the entrance into the office to just how amazing the staff was with handling him. I would definitely recommend for all children to be able to experience this! Thank you so much!
