Avoid at all costs. They come across as kid friendly but City kids dental is one big corporate act to scam concerned parents and use scare tactics to convince parents to get dental work on kids that they don’t need. They constantly call and text me saying my kids are overdue for required work even I’ve tho told them we are not going there anymore.

Took my kids to a new dentist who was honest and couldn’t believe some of the work they wanted to do on a baby tooth on my 8 year old which ended up falling out naturally a couple months later.

I could not have asked for a better place to take our daughter for her first dentist appointment. She's 20 months so my expectations for her sitting in a chair, let alone a dental exam were pretty low. . .

but the staff was soo friendly and the hygienist did a great job at going through each process slowly and making sure she was okay. She even found Frozen on YouTube and played it on the ceiling to keep her distracted, allowing them to do a full cleaning and flossing. She also made recommendations to assist with brushing habits at home, which was super helpful.

My children had the best experiences with Dr. Mary over their entire childhood! Welcoming, kind, patient, understanding, Dr. Mary treated my two sons, now adults, for over 15 years. My special needs son felt safe and understood despite his sensory issues with dentistry. Amazing!

My son was terrified of the dentist when he was little, to the point he wouldn't open his mouth. We switched to Dr. Mary Tierney and it was the best decision we made. We drive a little over an hour to see her and it's so worth it! The entire staff is professional, highly skilled, friendly and amazing with kids. She understands how to work with different children and children with learning differences etc. Now when we have an appointment I think my son looks forward to catching up with Dr. Mary.

She is so wonderful at making conversations with the kids and paying attention to what they say, that she puts them at ease and they start to relax. We also had a dental surgery done here and it went perfectly. My son had a spacer that stayed in perfectly as well. His teeth have improved so much and her work is incredible. I highly recommend City Kids dental.
