I have been taking my son here since he was 3 years old. His pediatrician actually recommended and also takes his own children to smile stars. It is true that you cannot accompany your kids to the back but if it is your childs first visit. The staff will give you a walk through/tour. They explain all that is going to happen and make sure that you are comfortable and they explain why the parents wait in the front. There are a few exams going on at once and the kids are comfortable because they see that the other kids are okay. Even more so, after my sons first visit they took his picture to give us a keepsake and gave him a little basketball. His dentist was wonderful and always talks to me and answers my questions. Since the very first visit I have always talked to my son after his appointments because he always seems to have had a blast and even asks me about how long before his next appt. He always reports to me very normal info. and what one would expect to occur at the dentist. He is 6 now and has a routine when he goes to the dentist. I love smile stars & I am very happy with the dentistry and their philosophy of care.
