My 4-year-old normally screams at the doctor. He came out of Your Business holding a sticker book and asked when he could go back. Witchcraft. Lovely witchcraft.
Pediatric dentistry built around how kids actually feel about the dentist — which is, sometimes, very weird about it. We get it. Our chairs face the ceiling murals on purpose.
Our four-chair clinic on Hennepin handles everything from baby's first checkup at 12 months to teen wisdom-tooth referrals — and a long list of in-betweens.
The friendly twice-a-year visit. We use kid-sized tools, fluoride that tastes like bubble gum, and zero shame about candy intake.

Read more →Tooth-colored, BPA-free, and quick. For anxious or younger kids, we offer nitrous oxide ("happy gas") — bring a stuffed animal.
Read more →We screen every kid starting at age 7. If they need a referral, we already know which orthodontists in town are good with anxious kids.

Baby sits on your lap, face up. We count teeth, check the bite, and answer your bottle, pacifier, and teething questions.
First "real" cleanings. We focus on flossing habits, fluoride exposure, and the night-time bottle conversation. Stickers at the end.
Permanent teeth coming in alongside baby teeth. We seal the molars, screen for ortho needs, and start mouthguard talk for sports.
Wisdom-tooth referrals when needed, whitening conversations, and an honest talk about how phones make you forget to brush.
The single best review of a pediatric dentist is when the kid asks when they can come back. We hear it more than we should be allowed to admit.

Dr. Patel found a cavity and managed to fix it without my daughter realizing what was happening. She thought she was on a "spaceship adventure." She was 5. The bill was reasonable.
My twins are autistic and we'd struck out at three previous practices. Sasha (the hygienist) spent an entire 90-minute slot on a "meet the chair" visit before any cleaning. We've been here three years now.
First visits are 45 minutes — long enough to take a tour, count teeth, and meet Dr. Patel without anyone feeling rushed. Most new families get in within seven days.
