Detailed Introduction

Young Smiles is a dedicated pediatric dental clinic located at 605 Reed Ave, Manitowoc, WI 54220, serving Manitowoc and surrounding areas like Two Rivers, Sheboygan, and Green Bay. The clinic is led by Board Certified Pediatric Dentists Dr. Clint Rau and Dr. Thao T. Nguyen, who specialize in providing comprehensive oral health care for infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special healthcare needs. Their philosophy centers on treating every child as if they were their own, fostering a comfortable and welcoming environment to alleviate dental anxiety. The clinic encourages a "dental home" approach, recommending a child's first dental visit by their first birthday to establish early preventive care and a positive relationship with dentistry. Young Smiles offers a wide range of services tailored for children, including routine dental cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments, sealants, and digital X-rays to monitor developing teeth. They also provide restorative dentistry for cavities and damaged teeth, and offer solutions for dental emergencies. To ensure patient comfort, they provide sedation options such as nitrous oxide and oral sedation, and can arrange for general anesthesia in a hospital setting for more complex or anxious cases. The clinic prides itself on its kid-friendly staff and office design, featuring elements like video screens in waiting areas and operatories to help children feel at ease. They emphasize patient and parent education, taking the time to explain procedures and treatment options clearly. Reviews consistently highlight the staff's patience, attentiveness, and ability to create a positive experience for children and their families.

New places can be challenging for our little one as he may become easily overstimulated. Young Smiles has been nothing but amazing. Dr. Rau and his staff are great with children, timely and have an AMAZING waiting area for kids to keep them occupied. At our most recent visit, he did a fantastic job during the appointment but struggled after, while deciding on a prize (he was insistent on 2 prizes vs only 1 prize).

Cheryl, his dental hygienist, handled it beautifully. She couldn't have been more patient with him, while sticking with the rule of only 1 prize. I appreciate that she didn't easily fold and stayed so calm through the process. Young Smiles team (& especially Cheryl), thank you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr Rau did my daughters procedure this morning and it went very well. I’m very happy with the results my daughter is doing well and he fixed her problem. With our conversation about this procedure he heard my concerns and made sure I was comfortable with what was going to happen.

He treated my daughter like his own and will continue services with him from now on. 100% satisfied if you’re looking for a great dentist for your child pick him he’s a good one.

The dental hygienist and receptionists are amazing, very friendly and lovely with children. Our experience previous to our last appointment had been very good. Unfortunately my son developed two cavities between his front teeth that were causing him pain and sensitivity. I took his to the dentist with these concerns and was just told “yes it is a cavity” with no treatment plan or anything to help my son feel more comfortable or to stop the cavities from progressing.

I took my son to another dentist who came up with a plan at his first appointment to take care of his cavities. I wish Young Smiles would’ve done the same thing. It’s very disheartening as a parent to have your child in pain while the people who are supposed to help do not.

My son loves coming here. Everyone is so nice and explains everything to him in ways he understands. The kids movies on the ceiling is so smart to give him something to "do" while getting his cleanings
