Inspire Kids Dental

Fantastic experience: We had the best experience at Inspire Kids Dental! My son, who is special needs, loved it. He was calm the entire appointment and I think it was because of how gentle the dentist and his staff were. They were very informative and so kind. The office is also exceptionally clean and so cute!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful people! They done awesome with my son. The nurses even gave me a break and held and walked my 9 month daughter around. Wonderful people. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: My kids had the best time they kept saying how soft and clean they're teeth felt. My daughter who is terrified of dentists LOVED her experience here! They are very patient and kind. The doctor is as well he has the best interest in the patient and explains everything thoroughly.

Fantastic experience: Staff was so kind and took their time with my son. The Dr thoroughly explained procedures and his bedside manner is wonderful. The new ooltewah office is also very clean and decorated adorably

Negative experience: Our first visits were fantastic, we were made to feel like this was a great place for our kiddos. We have two autistic kids, one adopted with high needs and constant health changes and challenges. Our last appointment we were considering not coming back as our youngest who is our sweet adopted girl didn’t seem to be welcomed, she was was treated seemingly poorly due to her having a very difficult moment when the doctor tried to look in her mouth, our sweet girl has a very long and hard history I won’t disclose but myself and my husband felt that she was an annoyance to one person in particular. We scheduled another day for her to come in for a cleaning and unfortunately she got a respiratory illness (VERY serious for her, she has lung disease) and also a stomach bug in the same week, her appointment was on Wednesday and we called Monday first thing to reschedule her. Our older child, he is also autistic and struggles with strep got strep, I called to reschedule the appointment and was told the appointment was actually that day. I was so confused because I could’ve sworn it was the next day, I was told no it’s today. I didn’t argue further the girl said she needed to place me on hold, she came back and said because we have rescheduled in the past we had to pay a no show fee and pay for his future appointments in full to discuss getting him scheduled. That completely caught me off guard and being at work I got off the phone, they made no attempt to further contact us or anything. Went back and checked my voicemail and the voicemail stated his appointment was on Wednesday and not Tuesday, so I was definitely justified in my confusion. Either way, to encourage a family but especially a special needs family to bring in a child with strep for a dental procedure is definitely not okay. Definitely seemed we were wanted out of the office, thankfully we called a few places and explained what happened and we have our kids in with a new practice and we couldn’t be happier with how they even asked us over the phone for our kids likes and dislikes and sensory needs/triggers. It’s a shame! I loved this office at first and referred a ton of people there but definitely feel as if our girl wasn’t wanted due to her needs and the patience she requires. They do have some very kind staff there who genuinely seemed to care for both of our kids, not just the one who is “high functioning”.

Fantastic experience: Greta place to take your kid! Been coming here for years! Always open schedule and flexibility.

Fantastic experience: I love this dental office for my kids so much. They welcome you with smiles. The office is clean and also plays worship music and had me feel like I was at home. They explain in details of what they’re doing in the process they’re doing and explain to the children as well on how to keep their dental work up each and every day. I love a good explanation!

Fantastic experience: My daughter had to do the sedation to have some dental work done due to being afraid of the dentist and they took great care of her. Gave her a blanket and pillow and kept her comfortable the entire time. She also had to have porcelain crowns on her two front teeth and they look so natural and pretty they did great on them.

Fantastic experience: They were great with my babies. My babies can be hard to handle as they are super talkative and all over the place, but they handled them so well. Very happy mama here.

Fantastic experience: Everyone from receptionist to dentist make you welcomed. Keely is amazing.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ruminson, his staff, and especially his wife are excellent with my son. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make the best out of every visit. I really appreciate the kindness shown to my family when we are in the office, it makes you feel reassured and in a great environment. We will continue to be patients of this practice for years to come.

Positive experience: Very thorough. My issue is with the wait times. Also, reception doesn't seem very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Great attention 100% recommended

Fantastic experience: Great dental service for children, i highly recommend them, whole staff is friendly, knowledgable and great with calming kids fear of dentist. 5 stars!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great place. They care and do a great job. Really good people.

Fantastic experience: My kids love Inspire Kids Dental! We always have fun when we are there. Dr Jonathan Runminson does a great job and the dental assistants and receptionist are always really kind. My kids always get the best quality care and we are very thankful.

Fantastic experience: Great dentist. The dentist is so nice and really cares about the kids. Would highly recommend this office!

Fantastic experience: Very pleased with Inspire Kids Dental experience. My children have had the same dentist since they were toddlers so finding a new dentist after a move can feel daunting. I think my kids transitioned well. The staff were all friendly , the environment clean and calm. Dr. Ruminson was kind and personable. He was very thorough and took the time to explain and educate so we understood his findings and recommendations.

Fantastic experience: They were so friendly and kind of as a parent and the first time visit at their office I didn't have to ask to go back there they invited me to go back with my child they sat and spoke with me about everything they were going to do what they needed to do for my child they spoke to my child about things they needed to do for him very attentive really great with the child I love the treatment that they gave us I would be happy to go back there over and over it's further away than other dentists to my house and I was even thinking of making them my home dental office

Fantastic experience: Patient with my children, 2 of whom have ASD Clean office Toys & books to occupy children while waiting

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience with Inspire kids. We were referred from our local dentist and I was blown away at the care and attention to detail from this office. Everyone was so kind and made my daughter feel comfortable during her appointment. The dental assistant and dentist were both so knowledgeable and included me in the whole process! 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great experience, very friendly and upbeat. Staff and Dentist definitely recommend. They have so much patience

Fantastic experience: Inspire is the only dental care that I trust to take care of my kids teeth maintenance and care! The best treatment in the area along with good family values, they are the obvious choice!!

Fantastic experience: I have a hard time with panic attacks and everyone on the staff is so patient. They always make sure I am safe and heard. Highly recommend for anyone else with an irrational fear

Fantastic experience: I have never been to such a kind, compassionate and caring dental office! My child who is normally not comfortable with the dentist has finally found a place where she isn’t afraid. They make her feel at ease and that’s a quality you never really find in a dentist. I am so grateful for this office and their phenomenal staff! We love you, Inspire Kids Dental! Thank you so much for keeping her beautiful smile healthy!

Fantastic experience: They were kind patient and my 4 year old who is shy love them. He hates Xrays but they were amazing.

Fantastic experience: We recently had to switch dentists and I was a bit nervous because my 4 year old is so shy about letting letting a dentist look in his mouth. (He likes to be able to see himself in the mirror when he brushes his teeth and all the different tools make him hesitant.) Inspire was so patient with him! They were able to make him feel comfortable enough to look at his teeth. Still a little nervous about the "spinny brush" as my son calls it, but hopefully next time he will be less nervous.

Fantastic experience: honestly can’t say enough good things about this office. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was so kind and patient. You can tell they genuinely care about the kids and the parents. The dentist never made me feel rushed and actually took the time to answer all of my questions and talk through my concerns, which meant a lot to me. One thing I really appreciated is that he actually listens to you as a parent. He hears what you’re saying, takes your concerns seriously, and really tries to work with what parents are comfortable with. He explains different options, offers alternatives when possible, and gives his guidance and support instead of just telling you what’s going to happen and rushing through the appointment. My son has always hated going to the dentist, but this experience was completely different. Even though it was a minor procedure with oral sedation, he still made sure there was a nurse there the entire time monitoring everything to make sure my son was safe. That level of care and attention really stood out to me, because a lot of offices don’t go that extra step. The dentist was incredibly warm and reassuring, and the entire staff made the experience feel calm and supportive. You can tell they truly care about making kids feel safe and comfortable. It also really seems like he loves what he does, and that shows in how he treats his patients. Every single person in the office was sweet, patient, and professional. As a parent, that kind of environment makes all the difference. I’m so thankful we found this office and I would absolutely recommend them to any parent looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients and their experience.

Fantastic experience: My kids always enjoy their visit here . Today they both had appointments 10-10:30 we were out by 11. Quick service and very helpful they answered my question and gave detailed information.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience! Appointment was timely, (I went in with my 3 kids and we werein and out in an hour!) staff and Dr were very friendly, great with the kids, and took their time to show and explain anything that came up during the checkup.

Fantastic experience: The staff and dentist as well as their anesthesiologist=AMAZING. My daughter had to be put under anesthesia today for fillings (she's autistic) and they went above and beyond for her!

Fantastic experience: Very patient and understanding my kids actually enjoyed going to the dentist. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved this place. It was my daughter’s first visit and she was extremely nervous from previous dental visits. Every single member of the staff were so nice and had a smile on their face! They turned my nervous daughter into someone who now loves her dentist! I couldn’t recommend more! 10/10

Fantastic experience: The BEST pediatric dentist! We will never go anywhere else! My daughter was a little sad during her visit this time and he explained to her what was happening and what he was going to do and she calmed down.

Fantastic experience: We came in today for a second opinion and I’m so glad we did!! Everybody was so nice and helpful! We will be back along with his sister :)

Fantastic experience: I didnt have to sit in lobby long at all , their staff were very friendly . I dont remember the young ladys name that we had but she was young blonde headed girl she was so good with my terrified 6yr old and in my opinion that young lady deserves a raise for that because not only is maddie 6 she also has autism and she handled her very well.

Fantastic experience: Great dentist and wonderful team!! Doc is super nice and you can tell he really cares about his patients. The team goes above and beyond to make sure their patients are comfortable! Front desk girls are always so sweet. We had a wonderful experience and I now take all four of my children to Inspire. Highly highly recommend this dentist!!

Fantastic experience: Ahhh! A kids dentist that gets it. I came in a nervous wreck and left with a solid plan that i am comfortable with for my 4 year old. Everyone was very kind and welcoming! They were great at keeping him occupied and did a great job explaining what was going on in 4 year old language. 10/10 Also, he listened to my annoying “non toxic” concerns lol!

Fantastic experience: My almost 2 year old chipped her front tooth. Dr. Ruminson and his team provided a kind and calm environment and her tooth looks great after the repair I would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: All the staff from the time we got there till we left .were very nice ,polite and helpful.The dentist was very understanding and really listened to my concerns about my son and the plan he came up with made me feel at ease.

Fantastic experience: They were very good with my child. They made it a lot of fun so he didn't have any fear thru it all. I will definitely recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Jagger loved his visit! Not only did the dentist explain to me the procedure that he needs done, he explained it to Jagger & that made him more at ease. Great place with great people.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ruminson is awesome he explains everything and makes sure the patient and parents are comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone!

Fantastic experience: My granddaughter took my great grandson here for an appointment. She just raved about how wonderful the staff were. She said everyone was so pleasant, kind & very competent in their care for him. I would highly recommend Inspire Kids Dental for your kids dental care.

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful I found this practice! Dr. Ruminson and his staff are top notch. The patience and passion he has is extraordinary. I seen how they treated my child and instantly said I will drive the 40 minutes for this care and atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: I have been taking my kids here for over a year. Always a great experience. My son asks to go back between visits! They make going to the dentist fun.

Fantastic experience: Let me just say how much I love this team at Inspire Dental. My 4 year old has been coming here since he was just over 1 years old. Every visit is enjoyable, my son never fears coming here. When he walks into the lobby he talks to the staff and they are always so friendly. The visit itself, the staff is calming, silly, and understanding. Their little “treat” at the end is such a highlight for my son. At 4 years old, my son is motivated to brush his teeth every morning and every night “because my dentist told me it’s important for me”. That’s so great! Thank you so much for taking great care of our Roman.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ruminson was great! He talked my daughter through everything he was doing and was very caring! This visit was an excellent one! I truly thank “Inspire Kids Dental”!

Fantastic experience: First time at this dentist for my daughter's cleaning. Very clean environment, super educational on the the health of your teeth and was attentive to our scheduling. We will be back!

Fantastic experience: My child loved the whole staff. Everyone was very kind and professional. They were all very great with all of the children there. The environment was very comfortable, clean and inviting for children of all ages. We enjoy our visits!

Fantastic experience: Took both of my girls for a cleaning and they were just so amazing! My 6 year old is autistic so, I was a little nervous about how accommodating they would be to her, and they went above and beyond for both my babies. Everyone was just so sweet and understanding. The dentist was so kind and patient with my babies. They're actually excited about going back. We will gladly be returning for their dental needs

Fantastic experience: My child had dental surgery and I was very pleased with the care he received.

Fantastic experience: “We had the absolute best experience at this office! From the moment we walked in, everyone was so welcoming and kind. The doctors and nurses are truly amazing—patient, gentle, and so very great with kids. My child felt completely comfortable, safe and trusted the doctors and nurses!!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better team or a smoother visit. Highly recommend to any parent looking for the best care for their little ones!” SERIOUSLY, THE BEST!!!!

Fantastic experience: They are very kind and welcoming staff starting from the front to the back. They meet all the standards. Doc is funny and playful with my daughter to make her comfortable. When you have a small kid it helps to have an office like inspire who is patient and kind. I really appreciate you guys. Keep up the great work.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff! They really seem to care about my daughters teeth. Friendly, patient, willing to listen to my concerns.

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff! My boy gave them a run for their money LITERALLY… took off running through the back door(he is 3 & doesn’t fully understand that wasn’t okay). I was very embarrassed & they kept reassuring me. I’m also pregnant & could not catch him… so from me 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean, friendly staff, patient with the kids, and fast! I would recommend inspire kids dental to everyone looking for a dentist for their kids!!

Fantastic experience: I can truly say I’m impressed with Inspire’s dedication, teamwork, and accommodations. My son had a tooth chip and they were able to get us in same day. That in itself is AMAZING!! Dr. Jonathan Ruminson Was the kindest, and by far the most informative dentist we have ever seen. He explained everything and showed me what needed to happen. My son was able to ask questions and he was so extremely patient and understanding with him. I would recommend to anyone with children to take them there! 10/10 recommendation!! Thank you all so much.

Fantastic experience: The staff and Dr. J (Ruminson) were super kind and very good with my 4 year old son! Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing Staff! Amazing service! Amazing environment and experience! I have an autistic non verbal son that is very low on the spectrum, and the staff made him feel comfortable and talked to him like they would any other child. The Dentist is absolutely the best at making my son feel comfortable and safe while working on his teeth. Highly recommend if you have a kid that is on the spectrum or is shy and nervous when it comes to having their teeth worked on.

Fantastic experience: This dentist and his staff are amazing. They fit my grandson into thier schedule, even giving up some of thier lunch time. They were patient with him and worked slowly with him. Even though it is a 3.5 hour trip, we will make it again. Thank you to this wonderful group of individuals. If your looking for a fantastic dentist, this is the place

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff. Clean, time efficient. Very happy to have found this dentist.

Fantastic experience: The best children’s dentist I have ever experienced with my kids! The best team around! I highly recommend. They were all so patient and knowledgeable about their work. Thank you Inspire Kids Dental for taking care of our boys!

Fantastic experience: It wasn't a long wait. The people are happy and very good with the kids. I wish every pediatric dentistry had that optimistic feel!

Fantastic experience: All the staff have been amazing with all three of my kiddos. Very patient. Making sure we feel comfortable and always covers anything.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and kind to the kids. Made are kids that were nervous not so nervous. They are really helpful and we loved them all.

Fantastic experience: The front staff are very friendly and helpful. They are always happy and putting on a smiling face. The other staff and the dentist are always so kind and very professional. I was lucky and found them by chance. We were a new patient and my oldest had a tooth emergency and they were able to get him in the next day. Needless to say my other kids are now his patients. Absolutely the best!

Fantastic experience: Staff was very friendly and very patient. My child has very high anxiety at the dentist and they handled her beautifully.

Fantastic experience: The staff is amazing here very friendly and professional. We will definitely continue to use them.

Fantastic experience: Wow!! I was very impressed how much all the staff cared for my great-niece today!! She is autistic and non-verbal so most of the time taking her to the dentist has been really rough. So a lot had to be done this visit, she was being put to sleep! The staff here was wonderful and really showed professionalism and compassion to us all. They did a great job with her, we are extremely happy with their services and have found a home dentist for our girl!!

Fantastic experience: After struggling to get my sons dentist to listen to us about his pain and them refusing to even do anything but a cleaning, I called around and found inspire kids dental. The same day I called they got him in and did a filling plus antibiotics for the tooth that was causing him immense pain. They were friendly, explained everything to him and his X-rays. We will only be seeing Inspire Dental from now on. Hands down, BEST pediatric dentist around!

Fantastic experience: They were so caring and friendly to my grandson, as he has anxiety, especially at the dentist! They made him feel comfortable and everything went well! I am so glad their service is available or I don't know what we would do! Thanks Smile MD and Inspire Kids!

Fantastic experience: Yesterday was my daughter’s second visit at Inspire Kid’s Dental. They are always so kind and professional. The hygienist went above and beyond for us!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ruminson has a patient, friendly bedside manner and is able to help kids understand the procedures so they can be comfortable. Really nice staff too. We really appreciate the caring pediatric dental service our kids have benefited from for the past year. Truly caring and professional people.

Fantastic experience: This place is so warm and friendly! They did a wonderful job with my son! Definitely recommend..

Fantastic experience: Definitely loved this place! We've been to several different dentist to have my daughter's fillings done and she was soo comfortable here! For once, she loved the dentist office The whole staff was super friendly 100/10 for us

Fantastic experience: My three kids, ages 9 to 3, recently visited Inspire Kids Dental for cleanings and fillings. They loved the care and kindness shown by the staff! The office is clean, kid-friendly, and the team is amazing. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Everyone at this office is so kind and make my kiddo and I feel at ease. We've needed a couple of fillings, despite fluoride treatment for prevention. Fillings went seamlessly without any discomfort reported. Highly recommended this office!

Fantastic experience: My son's first visit here went well. We will be returning. Excellent staff, great experience.

Fantastic experience: Everyone was so nice and friendly. Dr. Jonathan Rumson was very calm and made sure my 6-year-old daughter was taken care of. I highly recommend this dental to anyone looking. The staff was welcoming, and the office was clean and modern. The treatment I received was top-notch, and I felt at ease throughout the entire visit. Thank you to Dr. Rumson and his team for such a positive experience.

Fantastic experience: The place is super clean, quiet, peaceful and very uplifting atmosphere. We barely waited for 5 minutes before we were called in. I would highly recommend this place for those parents who values excellent customers/clients/ patients care.

Fantastic experience: There staff was amazing and kind. Dr Jonathan was GREAT with my daughter! She usually has a lot of anxiety at the dentist (which is why we were referred here), but she never even flinched around him or his staff today! He takes times to explain what's going on and uses kindness with her. Overall it was a great experience for both of us.

Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere! Drs and assistant down to the receptionist are great. My kids don’t cry when we come here they leave happy they make them feel comfortable. My son is great every time we come here he doesn’t care to come to the dentist when we go.

Negative experience: My daughter has had TWO EMERGENCY dental visits there and BOTH times they have been canceled. She can barely eat or chew. She cries all day everyday and no amount of orajel, dentek, Motrin, or Tylenol is helping to relieve any of her pain or discomfort. I have never written a review in my life until now and I’ve had issues with places before but never so bad as to write a review. This is crazy and we were sent to them on referral. They just don’t care about people anymore. Not even children.

Fantastic experience: I love every one that works here they go above and beyond They're amazing, the dentist is awesome as well. I wouldn't go or trust anyone but Inspire kids dental.

Fantastic experience: They are all wonderful staff and quick with appointments and always keep me detailed off what work they are doing on my children at all times. Great dentist and the office is very clean!!!!

Fantastic experience: With an unexpected visit here today, I’m very thankful we are getting on track with my daughter’s care! They are VERY patient with the kids and I am forever thankful! Felt like home as soon as we walked in.

Fantastic experience: Such a great group of people! Everyone was incredibly kind, comforting to my son, and explained everything in detail so we could make the best decisions for us. They even called me several hours after my son had work done to check on him. I’m very glad we were referred here!

Fantastic experience: Amazing the kids really enjoyed the visit. Dr. Jonathon was very nice. He was amazing with the kids

Fantastic experience: The staff were wonderful and friendly. They were able to get my boy in so fast to check him out and get his treatment plan set up. So grateful for their patience and urgency to take care of him.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere at inspire kids dental is calm and friendly, the staff is professional and super friendly. My young kids like going there!

Fantastic experience: All the staff was so nice and engaging with my child. She loved her first visit and they made her feel comfortable and talked directly with her (and me of course) about her care. She cant wait to get her teeth cleaned again!

Fantastic experience: They did amazing with my kids ! I would 10000% recommend them! They are so patient and work so well with children I would recommend this place to any child ! Especially if they need a little extra care because they go above and beyond to do for their patients! My kids are so excited to their appointments! They go the extra mile to make sure your kids are comfortable and in no pain! I would recommend them for anybody with children that need just a little extra care when it comes to the dentist or any child that is scared of the dentist they will change their outlook completely because they did with my kids. My kids do not like going to the dentist from past experience with a different dentist office and this office changed their outlook on going to the dentist completely they actually love going to their office everyone there is so nice!

Fantastic experience: Best place to go they treat you like you are family and they care. My 7 year old daughter loves going to the dentist

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience at Inspire! The staff was so supportive, accommodating, and kind. My children had the most positive experience they have ever had at the dentist!

Fantastic experience: My daughter suffers from panic attacks and anxiety. She also has a really bad gag reflex. We went in with pain in a molar that’s growing in that somehow got infected. Dentist was very well with her cleaned it up gave us antibiotics so overall I would say this was an amazing experience, friendly staff, friendly dentist, just overall made us feel comfortable .

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t not say enough about the entire staff! They were so patient and attentive with my son who is autistic. He’s so terrified of doctors and dentist but he loved the staff and did not mind going to their office because they made him comfortable. Highly recommend to anyone in search of a good dentist/oral surgeon for their little one.
