Detailed Introduction

Saint Louis University Pediatric Dentistry is a key component of the Center for Advanced Dental Education (CADE) at Saint Louis University (SLU). Located at 3320 Rutger St, St. Louis, MO, this facility serves as both a patient care clinic and a highly regarded advanced education program for dentists specializing in pediatric dentistry. As a clinic, it operates under the umbrella of "Dental Specialties of Saint Louis University," offering comprehensive dental services specifically for children, typically those under 12 years of age, and also caters to children with special health care needs. The services provided are extensive and include preventive care (cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (white composite fillings), extractions, and space maintenance. A significant aspect of their patient care is their expertise in sedation and analgesia, offering nitrous oxide, in-office deep sedation, and hospital-based dentistry (with all their pediatric dentists on staff at Mercy Children's Hospital) for anxious children or those requiring more complex procedures. The clinic is equipped with modern technology, including digital X-rays. What distinguishes Saint Louis University Pediatric Dentistry is its dual role as an educational institution. The care provided to patients is delivered by resident dentists who are already accomplished dentists undergoing a rigorous 24-month Master of Science in Dentistry program with a concentration in pediatric dentistry. These residents work under the direct supervision of a dedicated and highly experienced clinical faculty. This model allows the clinic to offer advanced care at a lower cost compared to traditional private practices, making quality dental care more accessible. The program emphasizes all phases of pediatric dentistry, including extensive experience in managing children with a wide range of special health care needs, as well as significant training in sedation and general anesthesia. Residents also gain valuable experience through clinical rotations at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, where they provide 24/7 dental consultations to the emergency room. The program's commitment to research is evident as residents complete a master's thesis research project, contributing to the field of pediatric dentistry. Overall, Saint Louis University Pediatric Dentistry combines high-quality patient care with an advanced training program, ensuring that children receive expert treatment while future pediatric dental specialists are meticulously prepared for their careers as clinicians, researchers, or educators.

I am giving this office a 0 star… even after making the previous complaint, I spoke with Claire and she was suppose to fix the problem but instead today this morning I received a call from a man stating that my child is no longer a guest and they will no longer service him because of the statement that I made. I’m NOT taking it down, I am blasting both statements on ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS… I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY NEW PATIENTS GO HERE… they will lie and make it seem as if they will help and turn around and cancel all further services… THEY ARE CRAZY!!! But it’s okay because my child definitely has a new dentist office he attends.

Thanks for nothing SLU PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY!

This Lady is VERY RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL AND SUPER UNPROFESSIONAL (I called to let them know that we were 5 mins late but we where in route) mind you the school is literally 10 mins away and I went to pick my child up 30 minutes before his time, but while waiting for him to come out of class and down to the office (I called the office and spoke to her, she states that I need to be in within 9min grace period) which is fine with me… we arrive at 1:39 and the appointment was at 1:35 (as soon as we walk in she immediately says you need to reschedule because I already told them that you missed the appointment (had to park the car in the garage and walk down stairs and across the street to get in the building) I said well why do that and we’re here, she said you’re late and I said no ma’am I called and told you that we were going to be there at that time because of the pickup… she starts yelling and I start yelling back because she was being rude, then I asked for a school note and she tells me no because we didn’t see your child, tells me that I need to book another appointment but turns to another guest to help them with checking in and two other people she was making new appointments for them and have yet to look my way, APOLOGIZE or even try to help me so I can leave the office… she began to ignoring me so I BLAST HOOD MUSIC in the office to see if she would say anything… nope still nothing and mind you as I’m writing this statement I’ve been sitting in office still for 20 mins and she still hasn’t said anything to me or even give me a new date so I can leave the office… PLEASE RETRAIN HER ASAP OR I WILL ENCOURAGE MORE PEOPLE TO STAY AWAY FROM HERE, yes 3 people stop coming because of prior experiences with the exact lady and her rudeness! Next time I come here I wanna see a younger more respectful and polite secretary and if not I WILL NO LONGER BRING MY CHILD HERE!!!!!
