As all mothers of drama-queens know, little things can make a big difference in how our little princesses (and princes) handle the more stressful life events that come our way. When Maddie got a cavity, I just KNEW it was going to be a nightmare having it filled. But we put on our brave faces and off to the pediatric dentist we went. I could not have imagined that we would have a totally drama-free experience, and that Maddie would ask on our way out “Mom, can we come back to my dentist tomorrow?” WHO KNEW!? 

Dr.  Kalantar and her staff we so wonderful with Maddie that I think she thought the whole visit was some sort of  special treat that I was LETTING her experience. It all works together – a safari-themed office with playroom waiting areas, in-chair movies (and plenty of Princess movies to choose from!), and staff that clearly know how to put children at ease. She was so proud of her new filling, and asks regularly when she can see her friends at “her dentist” again.  If you know Maddie, you know that having a cavity filled without any tears whatsoever is a BIG DEAL! I loved this practice, and recommend them whole-heartedly to anyone looking for a pediatric dentistry office with a special bedside manner.
