I cannot say enough great things about the staff at Sweet Tooth! My 3 year old son who has special needs was horrified to go for his first official cleaning. He was completely uncooperative and inconsolable. Christina the hygienist was so patient and kind, even after my son bit her during the cleaning. As a parent I felt instant guilt for my son's actions but Christina's compassion and understanding helped ease the situation.

We then met with Dr Adrian who immediately sensed my son's distress and got down to his standing level as to avoid the examining chair since it was triggering my son. He gently checked his mouth and spoke to my son in such a calming manner. I am so thankful to have found professionals who care so deeply about their patients and highly recommend Sweet Tooth to all parents looking for a positive dental experience for their child.

An Absolute Godsend for Children with Special Needs! I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Joe and his truly phenomenal staff. As a parent of an 8-year-old son who is autistic and non-verbal, dental appointments have always been a source of immense stress and heartbreak. My son typically refuses to let anyone even look in his mouth and his ability to sit still rarely extends beyond 20 seconds. We've endured countless appointments with numerous dentists, all of whom ultimately refused to treat him without general anesthesia – a prospect we desperately wanted to avoid. Then we found Dr. Joe.

From the moment we walked in, we were met with the most genuinely friendly and attentive staff we have ever encountered in a medical setting. They understood our son's unique needs without us having to explain everything, creating an immediate sense of calm and acceptance. What happened next was nothing short of miraculous. For the first time ever, my son was comfortable enough to allow a dentist to perform significant work. With just laughing gas, Dr. Joe was able to perform two extractions and two crowns! To say we were astounded is an understatement. His patience, gentle demeanor, and obvious expertise in working with children, especially those with special needs, are unparalleled.

Dr. Joe and his team have given us back hope and peace of mind when it comes to our son's dental health. If you are a parent of a child with special needs, particularly one who struggles with dental visits, please, do yourself and your child a favor and make an appointment with Dr. Joe. They are truly a blessing.
