Fantastic experience: Your staff were so good and patient with my child. It took a while for him to feel comfortable with the procedure but they took their time. I was surprised when he walked out with a smile on his face afterwards.
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Jenny. We know how stressful dental visits can be for both children and parents, and we’re so glad we could help make the experience more comfortable. Your child was so brave, and we're here anytime you need us!
Fantastic experience: I am so impressed by Smiles in Motion. Everyone is so kind, calming, and helpful from the person I talked with before our most recent appointment about insurance questions, to the hygienist who asked my child permission before each step and gave my child a choice of toothpaste and movies to watch. The dentist not only answered questions about the child I was there with but also about a new sibling. The girls at the desk when we checked out were laughing and joking with my child. We have been going for a few years now and I’m so grateful for the way they give my child a voice and respect as a person because that is so rare to find. Even if our insurance didn’t cover Smiles in Motion I would continue to see them. Highly recommend.
Your review is so important to us, Molly! Thank you for taking the time to write this. Our custom-built dental offices were designed specifically for kids, to help them feel comfortable and at ease during their visits. We are so lucky to be able to serve children like yours!
Fantastic experience: My son (4) had to get some work done and Dr. Luke was amazing! As well as the entire staff, they made him totally comfortable and also helped me stay calm as well! They were top notch and we will be back for all dental needs for our kids!

Fantastic experience: My 4 year old daughter just had her first cavity crowned and the Smiles In Motion staff all did a wonderful job making the process smooth and positive for all involved!
Thank you so much for your kind review, Taylor! Your comments mean the world to us!
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful visit today with Dr. Spitz and her team. My daughter sat in the big kid chair for the first time and the hygienist and Dr. Spitz were so encouraging and kind the entire time. They talked her through each step and she really loved every minute! She is already asking when she can return and, of course, go down the slide!

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Dr. Winn and her team at Smiles In Motion. My 2 month old daughter needed her tongue, lip, and cheek ties released due to issues we were having with breastfeeding. She struggled to gain weight initially, was often fussy and needed multiple burpings during feedings due to taking in so much air, as well as “clicked” during feeding and she struggled to have a deep latch. Dr. Winn was great during the consultation, presented our options, and was very transparent about what was happening. Dr. Winn and Hannah were so wonderful about preparing me for what would happen during the procedure, as well as the aftercare to make sure it was truly what I wanted and was ready to do. They took amazing care of my daughter during the very quick procedure, and were so diligent and encouraging in the follow up appointments. Instantly following the procedure, my daughter latched and I felt a night and day difference with the discomfort during feeding (I hadn’t even realized I was uncomfortable during feedings until after). Her gassiness/fussiness has dramatically improved since having the procedure, and she just seems overall much happier and content. I highly recommend Dr. Winn and Smiles In Motion. -Jenna Christianson
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jenna! We're so glad your experience with your child’s frenectomy was a positive one. It's always rewarding to help little ones feed and function more comfortably. We’re here if you need anything as your child continues to grow!
Fantastic experience: My son is very reluctant when it comes to the dentist. I knew I needed to try something different for him, so I brought him to Smiles in Motion. The entire team in Eau Claire made him feel welcomed from the moment we walked in to the time we left. Dr. Spitz did an amazing job with him making him feel very comfortable and explained everything along the way throughout his cleaning. All my kids will now become regular patients here.
We're so happy to hear your child's dental visit was a success! Building a positive dental foundation early is so important, and we're honored to be part of your child’s smile journey. Thank you for the kind words, Kendra!
Fantastic experience: We had a great visit at SIM! My daughter was treated very kindly by all staff members, and she even looks forward to coming back next time.

Fantastic experience: 100/10 experience with the Smiles in Motion staff for my one year old! Dr. Helms and her staff are so compassionate and kind with all of your questions!

Fantastic experience: My 9 Y.O has been seeing Dr. Helms for years and she has always done a marvelous job. I appreciate the way SIM staff communicate both in and out of office and feel confident in the care received. Yesterday's procedure caused a little anxiety but the reminder that they always take care of us was reassuring enough for her to get it done like a true champion.
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Ashley. We’re so glad we could help make the experience less scary. Your child was so brave, and we're here anytime you need us!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Helms always does an amazing job! I love the after care calls to check in.
Thank you so much for your kind review, Aleasha! Your comments mean the world to us!
Fantastic experience: My kids love going to the dentist! The staff are all so friendly and compassionate. They go the extra mile to make your child's trip to the dentist a stress free experience. They take their time and have a really laid back way of educating while they do their exam. I wish the dentist was like this when i was a kid; my kids will be sad when they age out.
Thank you so much for the kind review, Stephanie! It is our pleasure to be able to work with children to create healthy smiles for life. We appreciate you taking the time to review Smiles In Motion!

Fantastic experience: Smiles in Motion makes going to the dentist fun for my two boys. I have a 2.5 year old and 4 year old and they look forward to it. Telling them they are going to the dentist is like a treat for them. Where else can you play on a slide and watch Cars and Paw Patrol and then get a toy as you walk out. Everyone on the staff is amazing with children. It is so nice.
Thank you so much for the kind review, Rachel! We're so happy to be able to provide a little relief for parents when their children are actually excited to go see the dentist.

Fantastic experience: My son fell over the weekend and we contacted the after hours emergency line and Dr. Helms was patient and thorough even through text messages. Smiles in Motion was able to squeeze him in for x-rays first thing Monday morning and make sure he was actually okay! Very thankful for all their efforts!
Rachelle, thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Dental accidents are never fun, but we’re so glad we could help make the situation less stressful. Your child handled everything like a champ!

Your review is so important to us, Ana! Thank you for taking the time to write this. Our custom-built dental offices were designed specifically for kids, to help them feel comfortable and at ease during their visits. We are so lucky to be able to serve children like yours!
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to take a moment to share how incredibly impressed I was with Dr. Helms and her entire team at Smiles in Motion in Eau Claire today. My son is autistic, and appointments like this can sometimes feel overwhelming or challenging for him. From the moment we arrived, the patience, kindness, and genuine care shown by everyone in the office meant more than I can say. Dr. Helms and her staff were so calm, helpful, and intentional in the way they cared for him. They explained everything they were doing, showed him the tools they were using, and walked him through the appointment in such a straightforward, teachable, and reassuring way. Because of their approach, Bentlee left with no unanswered questions and, most importantly, no anxiety. That is such a gift. We are so sincerely thankful for Smiles in Motion and the incredible way they treated both our family and Bentlee. The compassion, understanding, and love they showed created such a positive experience for him, and that means absolutely everything to us.

Fantastic experience: My 7 year old loves coming here for her dentist appointments! She enjoys the playground and being able to watch movies during her cleaning. Today was my 15 month oldest first appointment and even though she didn't have the best time the hygienist there were very professional with her, trying to ease her and make her comfortable. And of course they LOVED getting prizes in the lobby after getting a clean bill of health!

Carissa, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review! It means the world to our team!
Negative experience: Unsatisfactory customer service and scheduling nightmares with this office. The staff made false claims that we rescheduled appointments when we did not. They've scheduled us on days we did not agree to at the time of calls.
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience! I was nervous about my daughter’s first dental treatment but they made her feel so comfortable - she got through it without any tears! She came out smiling ear to ear! Cannot recommend Smiles In Motion enough!

Fantastic experience: We’ve been going to Smiles in Motion for years and have never had a bad experience. My daughter had to have a tooth pulled and was nervous. They did a great job to reassure her and make sure things were numb. After she said she didn’t even know it was out and she was done.
Thank you so much for your kind review, Jenna. We work to create a comfortable environment for our young patients so that they always leave with a smile!
Fantastic experience: I have a 3 year old with some sensory issues and he doesn’t like to be out of my sight but he went back alone and within 15 minutes I heard a group of cheering from behind the door, they all were cheering on my son for x-rays to keep him happy, they go above and beyond for kids to be comfortable.

Fantastic experience: Brought my three kids in for their checkup today. This clinic was highly recommended to us and did not disappoint. First off there is a slide in the waiting room with the kids loved. All three were pulled back promptly for their appointments, and the team was a well oiled machine; X-rays, teeth cleaned, sealants, fluoride. Dr. Spitz was so fun and gentle. The kids were having a blast, no tears, everything went smooth and easy for us. Thank you so much for taking good care of us
Your review is so important to us, Dani! Thank you for taking the time to write this. Our custom-built dental offices were designed specifically for kids, to help them feel comfortable and at ease during their visits. We are so lucky to be able to serve children like yours!
Fantastic experience: My children are always excited to go to get their teeth checked and we are always treated kindly by the employees. SIM helped fix my son's teeth/mouth and got him in to be seen within a week for dental work that had to be surgically fixed , because of the neglect from the prior dental care we were receiving at a different place. SIM also makes the communication simple and convenient by texting asking if we can make it in to be seen sooner . I love that they schedule my kids back to back so I only have to worry about 1 appointment date for 2 to be seen . The Dentist is amazing there couldn't be a better place and team of people that have made bringing my 2 kids to the dentist a such a wonderful & positive experience every time!

Fantastic experience: We love Dr helms. She is great with our son who’s low verbal and autistic. Our son doesn’t like it and has a lot of sensory issues with his mouth and gets nervous and scared. we have seen her for About two years now and she is kind, patient, lets us have say in our care but gives us great education at the same time. Thank you to you and your team for doing so well with our son.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Winn and her staff are positive, kind, compassionate, and professional. They helped two of our children with tie releases. What could be a stressful experience, they turn into a genuinely life changing positive experience. Would 100% recommend to anyone with little ones.

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Smiles in Motion from our dentist due to a dental trauma my 6 year old experienced to his front 2 teeth. One for sure needed to be pulled. From the second we walked through the door, everyone at Smiles in Motion was the most warming and welcoming person. My son had the most amazing experience with this team and even ended up needing two pulled. Everything was calm, swift and compassionate. Not to mention we were out of there in about 35 minutes! Cannot recommend this place enough. Shout out to Dr Helm and her team! Thank you Smiles in Motion!
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Leah. We know how stressful dental trauma can be for both children and parents, and we’re so glad we could help make the experience less scary. Your child was so brave, and we're here anytime you need us!
Negative experience: They Neglect forwardhealth patients, staff especially MM very rude. Dr. Brandi Helms claims she “does not fill adult teeth” patient is left suffering and in pain do to an ADULT filling that she filled that fell out. Indirectly admitted they don’t have the time for what forward health will pay them. Would give negative stars if I could. Report being filed.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been bringing my daughter here from her first visit to the Dentist. Fast forward to years later she dealt with her first “sugar bug” today. Throughout all of it the staff at Smiles in Motion have been fantastic! I would highly recommend anyone who can bring their kids here to do so.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Helms and the staff at Smiles In Motion have been amazing with my 5year old daughter. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with it being her first dental procedure.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to bring your kids! Recently, my 6 year needed an extra tooth removed. I was so pleasantly surprised at how quick & smooth the procedure went! They made sure he was comfortable and as a parent, I so appreciated that they made sure he was okay through it all. I can’t recommend the team at Smiles in Motion enough!
Thank you so much for your kind review, Beatriz! Your comments mean the world to us!
Fantastic experience: This was my 9 year old daughter’s experience today, in her own words: “Hi my name is Siena. I got my tooth pulled today. I was a little bit nervous but Dr. Helms helped me get through it. She’s the best dentist ever- she gets her job done while also making kids feel comfortable. She helped me with the anxiety of it happening and I highly recommend her for any kids who are nervous about going to the dentist.” Thank you Dr. Helms, we are so grateful for you and your team today!
Your kind words are so important to us, Siena (and Beth)! It is always our goal to make our young patients feel comfortable, cared for, and heard during their time with our team. It is our pleasure to be able to work with children to create healthy smiles for life. Thank you for taking the time to review Smiles In Motion!

Fantastic experience: The best Pediatric Dentist! Dr. Helms and her team are super knowledgeable, patient, and provided a great dental experience for my son! Highly recommend Smiles in Motion!
Thank you so much for your kind review, Kiana! Your comments mean the world to us!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Helms and her team truly made my daughter’s dental experience a breeze. From the moment we walked in, they ensured we received answers to any questions I might have had about my daughter’s procedure, they made her feel comfortable and calmly talked her through something that very well could have been traumatic for her. If my daughter needs to have another tooth extracted in the future, this is the team to do it. I know that I can count on them to get her through it with ease!
Thank you so much for the kind review, Alyssa! It is our pleasure to be able to work with children to create healthy smiles for life. We appreciate you taking the time to review Smiles In Motion!
Negative experience: The staff is very friendly and kind to the children. Which is a great thing for kids that have a harder time with going to the dentist. Unfortunately they have a policy that if you miss one appointment your contract with them is canceled and you can never go back. My wife gave birth to our twins and it was during a time that my other kids were supposed to have a dentist appointment and we forgot all about it with all the craziness that was going on. So now because we missed that appointment because my wife was in the hospital we are no longer allowed to go back. Just keep that in mind if you are deciding to go there that if you have an issue that comes up and you forget to cancel because of something major going on they will never let you come back. It is a pretty bad practice that if something happens they have no care that you forgot to cancel or reschedule.
Hi Dustin - thank you for the feedback. The entire Smiles in Motion team cares greatly about the health and wellbeing of the kids in our community. We do have an appointment policy in place and by patients not coming to a scheduled appointment, we missed the opportunity to serve another child. We maintain these policies to see our patients effectively and in a timely manner. If you have any questions in the meantime, please give our office a call at 715-723-2000. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: We always receive outstanding care at Smiles in Motion! I am continuously impressed with the kind and warm professionalism demonstrated by all staff. They take their time explaining issues and treatments and respect your questions and boundaries. Will definitely continue seeing them!

Fantastic experience: My two girls love going to dentist and it’s all thanks to Smile in Motion and Dr. Helms. They actually count “sleeps” until their appointments. Highly recommend!!
Thank you so much for the kind review, Mariah! We're so happy to be able to provide a little relief for parents when their children are actually excited to go see the dentist.
Fantastic experience: I brought my daughter here for her first ever dentist appt when she was 16 months for a chipped tooth. We learned so much, got great recommendations for an age appropriate pacifier, and my daughter loved playing with the toys in the dental office while I chatted with Dr. Helms. It's not easy to get a 16 month old to lay down for a tooth exam but they were quick and she did great! We will be continuing dental care here.

Fantastic experience: My kids love coming to Smiles in Motion. Dr Helm and staffs are extremely kind, caring, and knowledgeable. They were able to accommodate my daughter for an unexpected extra service (filing) so it saved me an extra visit. This helped me more than they know. The environment is calm, which helps tremendously if your kiddos are nervous about seeing the dentist. Thank you for all that you do for my kids!

Fantastic experience: This is a really great dental practice. My kids love going there. The waiting room is well equipped to handle all ages. The slide is a universal favorite. The quality of dental care we get is exceptional. We get timely advice on our kid’s dental needs. They don’t do unnecessary tests and referrals are made timely. We recommend this practice heartily.
Your review is so important to us, Devender! Thank you for taking the time to write this. Our custom-built dental offices were designed specifically for kids, to help them feel comfortable and at ease during their visits. We are so lucky to be able to serve children like yours!
Fantastic experience: Dr Helms and her staff (shout out to Izzy) made my 2.5 year old feel comfortable while getting her teeth checked. She was able to help count her own teeth and they accommodated with me as I am 31 weeks pregnant so was not able to hold her in the best position to get fluoride in there. On top of that, the jungle gym slide in the waiting room is always a favorite experience!

Fantastic experience: Great dentist for your kids! Welcoming waiting area (with a playground!) and comfortable exam rooms. Our little one especially liked watching Paw Patrol on the ceiling-mounted TV. She was so comfortable we’ve adopted the technique at home to help her with flossing and brushing, and her teeth look amazing compared to before our visit. All procedures and problem areas were explained by both the technician and dentist, so we definitely understood what was expected.Overall, this is the best pediatric dentist we’ve seen. Our second visit was equally great. Our youngest saw the entire team, who helped her overcome some nerves, and her big sister sailed through her visit.

Your 5-star rating is so important to us, Susie! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about the team at Smiles in Motion. I have a 7 year old son who has autism and they have been so patient with him and have really worked hard at gaining his trust. They offered several appointments to get him used to the various tools, chairs, etc which helped him feel more comfortable. He now gets excited for Xrays and loves going there. Thank you so much for everything you have all done to help make Jacks experience more enjoyable.

Negative experience: Would be a 0 but thats not an option. Very pushy to restrain a child with a disability and lack of information or knowledge. Told me things couldn't be done that could be even had to sign waivers for things that weren't even given as an option afterwards went 3 times all bad experiences with pushy uncompassionate employees and dr. The dr was helms only make an appearance to try to force things and or be smart/nasty when you'd have a genuine question or concern would get talked down to and in dr lingo trying to be cute wasn't impressed at all with the care or lack of professionalism no idea how this place rates so high but don't have a kid with a disability cause it don't matter to them horrible experience and my child is traumatized to the point where they can't even go in a dentist office and see the chair without freaking out for her experiences there. Do not recommend!!!!! Honest review nothing sugar coated.

Fantastic experience: The team at Smiles knows what to say and do to make any dental experience easy for children. They do an exceptional job explaining what they are doing when they are doing it and how it will feel/look/taste/smell. This detailed effort is what takes intimidation out of the situation regardless of appointment purpose and helps to shape a child's outlook on dental work to a positive one starting early in life. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: We needed emergency care today for our son and we were blown away at the professionalism, care, and amazing staff at Smiles in Motion.

Fantastic experience: Kaden came in today for just a routine check up, I let the dental assistant know that he has a very loose tooth and he wouldn’t let me get it, after some signatures dr Luke came out and said very thing is looking good and he was able to snag the tooth out! Now all my kid is signing is all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!! Thank you so much smiles and motion
Keshia, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review! It means the world to our team - and we look forward to hearing Kaden's singing at your next visit!
Fantastic experience: My daughter had to have a cavity filled and she has been terrified of the appointment. Once we got to the office, all the staff could sense my daughter’s fears and were amazing from the time we walked in the door until we left. They explained everything they were doing, what to anticipate, and answered all her questions with honesty and kindness. It was everything you would hope to find at a dental office and we couldn’t be more happy with her experience. Thank you Smiles In Motion!!!

Fantastic experience: My son, 2 years 10 months old had a fabulous experience today for his first dental appointment in the “big boy” chair! The staff were wonderful with him and made him feel so comfortable. He didn’t want to leave and keeps asking when he can go back to the dentist he also had to get X-rays which I didn’t think would happen but they did it flawlessly and it ended up going great! Would highly recommend!
