My kiddos were nervous to come to the dentist but Tooth Booth far exceeded our expectations! From the friendly and informative front office staff to the kind and hard working back office, everything went so smoothly. Dr Lam and Dr Crystal were amazing with the kids too. We will def be coming back to this office!

We have taken our kids to Tooth Booth for a few years and were happy with their office (until recently).
Two main reasons:
1) Our child needed VERY loose teeth extracted. He is 7 and has no apprehension. He is very brave. They refused to do any treatment without laughing gas which is a $150 charge. They have no history of doing treatment on him or having a bad experience with him: he's never needed any treatment. Despite my numerous requests and him being in pain they would not treat him without laughing gas. I took him to a family dentist and they administered anesthesia and extracted

I have a funny story. First let me say that I love this place and it's staff. They have always been good to my daughter. She has been going here since she was... I want to say 5 or 6. She is 16 now and refuses to give them up. LITERALLY my kid will not go anywhere else. I can already picture her going there along with her child one day fighting over who is going to get the under the sea room.

I was referred to Tooth Booth by the members of my Mom's club. They were absolutely amazing. My son need to have several baby teeth extracted and fix a few cavities. Dr. Lam and his team were very caring and made sure that my son was comfortable during the procedure. You need to bring your kids here!!

Dr. Booth has one of the most professional, helpful, and veteran-friendly offices I have ever had the pleasure of being a patient in. His staff has worked tirelessly to ensure my treatments have been coordinated with the Veterans Administration so I am not paying out of pocket when I don't have to. Additionally, they have helped me understand my own personal dental insurance to make sure I can get treatment as quickly as possible while still being able to maximize my benefits. By far the best practice I have ever been to and certainly the best in the area!

Dr. Lam is amazing! I have always had a big fear of dentists and an even bigger fear of my children in a dental chair. My son had two cavities filled and my daughter had a frenectomy procedure and I felt so comfortable the entire time. Every nurse we have had went above and beyond and are always so kind. My children are still excited to go to the dentist after their procedures and they love to get their prize when they leave. Thank you tooth booth!

I was referred to Tooth Booth by a very good friend of ours that is a helicopter mom and an RN.
Lol. I have been very apprehensive about taking my son to just any dentist as he can be very sensitive . My son ended up getting a tooth infection right in the middle of this Covid pandemic. I emailed Tooth booth and Dr Lam personally responded to my email. This was so refreshing and reassuring. He went back and forth with me even though they were closed due to the pandemic. They reopened today when they recieved the proper PPE and only for emergencies. This was also very reassuring. The staff and

I’m so happy with Tooth Booth. My daughter had been complaining for a few days of her tooth hurting. I called today they got me in immediately & was so helpful with finding the source of the problem. My daughter was so happy it wasn’t anything serious and they were so kind & efficient. From the office staff to the Dr! Very happy thank you to all of you at Tooth Booth ❤️

My son Eli was seen there today for his first dental treatment (besides cleanings). The staff and Dr. Lam are so awesome, they are attentive and have so much patience. The treatment was quick and my son was not in pain during or after. I'm glad to have found an office that gave my son such a great experience. Thank you Tooth Booth.

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL SERVICE!
I am so livid with their service today. Feel like I had to post this review in hope of getting them to re-focus on customer service. When kid’s tooth is very loose, it is simply ridiculous that they can find the time to make it a priority. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED.
During our last visit, the dentist said that we could expect to lose the central incisor “F” (ie. front tooth) before her next regular visit. Her front tooth was barely hanging on and she was in pain. I specifically requested for a “tooth-extraction” appointment, which they scheduled nearly a week

Beware ! Make sure you are not being over charged. This staff likes to over charge. I spent countless hours with my insurance doing what should be their billing departments job! Their billing department told me that my insurance would only covered silver crowns and didn't even bother to check if my insurance would cover Crowns in white. (I thought this was weird because All my crows have always been covered in white ) What parent wants their child to walk around with silver teeth. Especially with the way kids bully each other in today's society!

I've taken my children to Tooth Booth since 2015. We have a wonderful experience every time--the staff is always very welcoming and are incredibly professional. They are exceptionally patient with anxious kiddos and kindly explain every step to them in a reassuring way. Dr. Lam and his support staff are amazing.
I especially want to give a shout out and a huge thank you to Ana in reception. My children's father recently changed their dental insurance and she went above and beyond her duties to try and find the correct provider to confirm their insurance for us. She ended up reaching

I absolutely love this place!! I took my 1 1/2 year old for his first dentist visit a few months back and was very impressed with the cleanliness, style, and decor of this practice. There was a little bit of a wait once we arrived for our appointment and the front desk IS VERY BUSY with check-ins, check-outs, and lots of calls. However, don't let that deter you, your child will be well taken care of at this office. My toddler was quite comfortable (more than I expected) and did not put up a fuss while the dentist examined, brushed, AND FLOSSED his little teeth!! He was very kind, mild mannered

Was at an event in Rancho where Tooth booth had a table to advertise. I was having tooth pain, asked if I could have a toothbrush(which they had plenty). They said no... Very rude. Pediatric dentist or not... oral health should be more important than a 25 cent brush.
Well you can have 1 star while I have no tooth brush.

I have been taking my kids for several years and it has been great until my son need a special treatment and it's been awful! My poor baby is suffering because the procedure keeps getting infected! The place is clean and cute and for a basic cleaning it's good but beware if your kids need a more extensive treatment.

I took my 14 month daughter to the Tooth Booth because I wanted her to have the practice of getting her teeth examined and I wanted to learn to floss her teeth. Dr. Lam answered my phone call when I called to make an appointment... wow! And when we go there Dr Lam and team worked to make my daughter comfortable and have FUN! Dr. Lam utilized infant techniques that included me holding my daughter in my lap for the examine so that she would be soothed. Dr Lam brushed and flossed her teeth and took time to teach me some tips on infant oral development and warning signs to be cautious of. I felt a
