Dentistry for Children & Adolescents

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to bring my kids for dental care! We have been going for several years and we couldn't be happier! Thank you for all the great care!

Experiencia fantástica: Our kids love coming to the dentist and actually look forward to it. We’ve taken our kids since they were 1 year old just to help them be comfortable there. They are absolute pros at working with kids and helping them have a good experience. You can tell they enjoy what they do, which is really wonderful. Would recommend them to anyone

Experiencia fantástica: All three of our daughters have a great experience at Dentistry for Children and Adolescents. They take into account the individual child’s needs to maintain a great experience while getting their teeth cleaned. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive experience for their children.

Experiencia fantástica: Super grateful to Dr Dan and his staff (Ali was wonderful) for supporting our daughter through 3 fillings. They did an amazing job keeping calm and patient, and supporting her through some of her big fear. We’ve had dentists in the past stop working when the tears came out, and I really appreciate that we were able to get through these, so they can finally start healing! I highly recommend this dentistry, especially if you have nervous kiddos.

Experiencia fantástica: The best place to go my children have had doctor lindsey as their primary for a longtime now and she is very thoughtful and thorough in her findings. She always has a good plan and executes it to the highest caliber.

Experiencia fantástica: It’s been a great place for my three kids!

Experiencia fantástica: All staff were great, and did great customer service, we will be back and also recommend all my friends and family to this clinic. Thank you so much for helping my son!

Experiencia fantástica: My kids love it when I say we are visiting the dentist. The staff from the front desk to the dentist herself 10 out 10 service. If your in the market for a new dentist for your kiddo's check them out.

Experiencia fantástica: We took our kids here for their first dentist appointments and I am so happy I found this office. The technicians were AMAZING with our kids and made the teeth cleaning/exam so easy and fun, our kids had no nerves throughout the exam - they were so happy leaving their office. The dentist was amazing and explained things very well and had great recommendations and tips for us.

Experiencia negativa: Called 5 times, never answered the phone

Experiencia fantástica: Met with Dr. Dan specifically for my son’s cavity because he’s a very nervous kid. He was crying at first and both the doctor and nurse were very gentle with him and reiterated that they were just going to look during this visit and conversed with him about other topics to take his mind off his nerves. We scheduled our appointment to get his cavity filled and will update the review after!

Experiencia fantástica: I have a little one who is very anxious about dental care. Dr. Bedeaux has been so patient and willing to meet my kiddo where she was at for her treatments. Dr. Bedeaux was in it with us and I am so grateful for her! The rest of the team has also been fantastic too. They really understand kids.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend this office. My son is on the spectrum and Candace took the time to walk him through everything she was doing and all the instruments she was using. Dr. Morgan was great as well. We haven’t been able to get my son to participate at a dentist since he was very young , before autism and these ladies were able to successfully clean his teeth, do a complete work up and check. I am so proud of him and this clinic will be our new children’s clinic.

Experiencia positiva: The staff have always been kind, patient and helpful. I love the activities they always have in the lobby. My daughter needs a little extra support at the dentist and they have always taken such great care with her. I ask a lot of questions and they have never seemed annoyed/bothered to answer them. Even if we moved further away we would make the drive to stick with them. I started taking my daughter here about 8/9 years ago and my son just had his first appointment at 16 months old. I can't give five stars because they stopped accepting medical assistance, making them inaccessible to a group of children they previously provided service for. We are fortunate enough to have private health insurance so that change did NOT affect my children's care. It is disheartening that those who had MA had to find a different clinic when so many already didn't accept state insurance programs. There are many reasons people have medical assistance, be it for financial reasons or a disability, everyone should be able to access dental care in a timely manner and with quality providers.

Experiencia fantástica: They make my kids feel comfortable and safe. I don't feel like they are trying to rip me off and are extremely friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I took our 3.5 year and 1 year old to Dentistry for Children for their first dentist appointment and we were blown away. The waiting room was tidy and had fun/educational games and toys to keep both kids busy. All of the hygienists we interacted with were beyond amazing. I cannot say enough good things about this establishment and I highly recommend it for any and all kids!

Experiencia fantástica: We decided to give Dentistry for Children and Adolescents a try after we hadn’t been overly impressed with our past pediatric dentist. We are so glad we made the change. My son had a wonderful first appointment and for once didn’t cry and get upset during his appointment. The staff was wonderful!

Experiencia positiva: My children have been going here for 12 years, the hygienists have always been great. Our benefits always covered the preventative cleaning at 100%. The last 2 visits I have been charged MN taxes due to the way they code. I have disputed and questioned the $11 charge and they refuse to remove. They have now sent a letter advising they will send the charge to collections if I do not pay. It is not about the money but the principle. Very disappointing

Experiencia fantástica: Always have a great experience at Dentistry for Children. My son even gets excited to go to his dentist appointment! Wonderful, kind and knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia positiva: I used to go here when I was little my last visit was about 2015.

Experiencia fantástica: My son has special needs, and the dental assistant and dentist were amazing in trying to make him comfortable. They spent extra time with him and let him explore the tools, it was a very good experience. My only disappointment is that they no longer take TEFRA or MA insurance, which will exclude many families with special needs children from this great service.

Experiencia fantástica: This place does SO well with children! It was my sons first time and Jasmine did amazing with being patient and showing him the tools; she was able to brush and 'count' his teeth super easily! My daughter used to be SO afraid of dental procedures but Dr. Lindsay Bedeaux has such an awesome way with the kids, Kaylee has gotten very good at being brave and strong!

Experiencia fantástica: We have been using them for years for 3 of my kids. Kevin started his dental journey refusing to open his mouth, the first exam was a long process and ultimately earned him a trip to the OR for sedated dental work. Now he walks in and participates in his exam. Izzy was in love with them from her first visit, even with a cavity or two. The angsty teenager, Dani, has no complaints, but they've done well with her over the years. They meet you and your children at their level. The nice thing for us, they see how the kids are different and they work with that.

Experiencia fantástica: Love the Fish, good atmosphere, positive, attention, also mindful of multiple children at once and don't forget their good mental well being.

Experiencia fantástica: So sweet, kind and caring and took great care of my 2 year old. He was scared to go but once he got there he was so happy he didn't want to leave. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I would give 10 stars if I could. My autistic 5 year old had the greatest experience here. She left smiling and happy with her teeth cleaned, flossed, and sealed. We saw two dentists before this they couldn't even get her to open her mouth.

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter is 2 years old with special needs and I could not be happier with her 1st dentist appt. They take their time to make littles feel as comfortable as possible.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend. They did an amazing job with my shy three year old and her first cleaning. They made her feel comfortable and walked her through every step of the way.

Experiencia fantástica: So grateful to have found this dentistry for my children. Every staff member that we have encountered have been kind, patient and go above and beyond in caring for their patients.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend this dentist office. My son had a bad experience at a different dentist and was terrified to go back. He’s been refusing to go (5yrs old, cry’s and screams he doesn’t want to and he never does this). We had his first appointment today at Dentistry for Children and he loved it. They were patient, caring, let him ask questions. I’m so happy he’s confident to go, thank you so much for your kindness!

Experiencia fantástica: We saw Dr. Lindsay for our one year old’s first dental visit, and it was the best doctor experience we’ve had with our daughter! Dr. Lindsay and the staff were so kind and patient with her and very supportive with me and my wife. I definitely recommend Dentistry for Children!

Experiencia fantástica: My kids have been coming here since they were 1, and we’ve had really great experiences the last several years. They are EXCITED to go to the dentist, and my daughter even recently claimed the X-ray pictures as her favorite part of the visit. This is not at all the childhood dental experience I personally had years ago: scary, shaming, uncomfortable. I’m so happy my kids can start off their dental health journey differently in such a positive way :)

Experiencia fantástica: Finding a children's dentist is much more difficult than I could have imagined. After a terrible experience with a dentist I went on the prowl to find a dentist that would be good to my child's mouth. I am ever so thankful I found Dentistry for Children and Adolescents. Everyone in there from the receptionists to the dentists themselves greet you AND your child, they explain every procedure and EVERY tool, they make you feel comfortable (as comfortable as you can be in a dental office) and all the while they are smiling. You can tell everyone there truly loves their job and I am forever grateful to them for turning the dental experience around for my child. I highly recommend this office and even their Edina office if you're in the market for a dental office for your kid(s).

Experiencia fantástica: My kids love the staff and they seem more relaxed there as compared to other dentists in the past! Thanks Brad

Experiencia fantástica: Brought kiddo for his first ever visit. I was worried- but for no reason. Staff was great and my son left the office saying he loved the dentist Great job to all here!

Experiencia fantástica: I have 4 kids and they have been coming here since they were each 2 years old. The youngest of the 4 is 17 and the oldest is 24. The 3 older kids can no longer come here but they still ask if they can! The Dentists are always very good with the kids and amazingly kind and patient. The Dental Assistants are gentle and converse with the kids and explain what they are doing. There is a real team atmosphere between the Dentist, the Assistants, the child and the parent. This positive experience creates a healthy relationship and encourages my kids to continue to do 6 month checkups with their Adult Dentist. So happy we became part of this team back in 1999. Thank you to Dentistry for Children and Adolescents for such ongoing positive experiences!

Experiencia negativa: Doesn't accept new patients that have "acute" dental issues. So, I guess they only want you if you only need a cleaning.

Experiencia fantástica: I brought my four and six year old girls. My six year old was very nervous and timid. They made her her feel very comfortable and both of them enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: My kids (ages 3 and 5) see Dr. Lindsay at the Burnsville office and have had a great experience. All of the staff are so welcome and friendly- my kids actually LIKE going to the dentist! It's a great environment- totally recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience! Made my nervous 3yr old feel so comfortable

Experiencia fantástica: Visited Burnsville location - Saw Dr. Dan and Hygienist Shanon with my 2 year old. Very informative, helpful, kind and non judgmental! The entire team was great. My child had a wonderful experience and I left very informed of my child’s treatment choices and educated in children’s oral hygiene. I would highly recommend this office! You can see that they take their time with care and value their patients! Overall great place, would definitely recommend. Plus the kids toys are pretty cool according to my 2 year old!

Experiencia fantástica: This is the only location we have been taking our 4 years old son and we always had a great experience! Everyone is very friendly, patient and professional. Our son loves it! They truly enjoy being around children and adults!! Definitely recommend their services! Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I took my daughter here for the first time and Nicole was helping us. Despite my daughter running around and not being able to pay attention Nicole was very patient with us and explained everything that we were going to do. She made us feel so comfortable. Dr. Dan was kind and nice as well. If I could give this place 11/10 I would. I totally recommend it

Experiencia fantástica: For multiple kids, this place is so accommodating! All kids are done at once, and everyone there is so kind. My kids don't mind going to the dentist and that is a WIN!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely the best care! We feel comfortable the entire time. Very kind, efficient, prompt, professional and clean/sanitary environment. I would highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: My five-year-old used to be terrified of the dentist. The staff at DCA helped him feel comfortable and safe in the dentist chair. No more tantrums.. That's a win in my book.

Experiencia fantástica: Dentistry for Children & Adolescents is a wonderful children's dental office. They do an amazing job at making my children feel at ease and keeping their teeth clean and healthy.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful children's dentist. All the staff is so kind and caring. My daughter told me she actually had fun at the dentist when she got her teeth cleaned.

Experiencia fantástica: Kind, respectful, and sweet to my young child. Explained all procedures to her in ways she could understand. No shaming. Fair with pricing. Highly, highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: They are fabulous! They do all 4 of my kids cleanings at the same time in the same room which makes it so convenient. They are all so friendly and professional.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place. They are so patient and kind. They walk the kids through how each tool will work and feel, they never force anything on the kids, and the prizes at the end are always a hit. Love, love, love it!

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place , they have always understood my child and done what ever needed to make him more comfortable . He happens to be on the spectrum or Ausum as I like to call it . He will be eighteen next month I thought I would have to look for a new dentist which makes me extremely sad , however they will see him until he's nineteen . When I found that out I was so so happy !!!!

Experiencia fantástica: We love going to the dentist. I love how caring and kind they are. They know how to make the kids comfortable and not afraid of going to get their teeth cleaned. Very kind Staff and Dentist! Thank you and see you again in 6 months!!!

Experiencia fantástica: This was my 3 year old's first real cleaning. The hygienist did great in explaining to my daughter what was going to happen first and let my daughter touch all of the tools so she was comfortable having them in her mouth. They made it a fun experience.

Experiencia fantástica: We recently brought our children to Dentistry for Children, and our experience was fantastic. The dental hygienists were so kind and Dr. Lindsay was so knowledgeable and kid friendly. They gave us peace of mind, as well as making our children very comfortable with getting their teeth cleaned. High recommend for kids!

Experiencia fantástica: My 2 year old daughter had a fall over the weekend that impacted her teeth. After waiting on insurance, another dentists referral and finally getting in with an oral surgeon they scheduled us for over a week out even though my daughter was struggling drinking, eating and sleeping. We had her at our pediatrician pleading for help and they sent us here right away. The staff was courteous, friendly and straight to the point. After feeling like no one would help us with immediate care, Dentistry for Children was expecting us. They met us at the door, were ready for x-rays and had to perform a tooth extraction. Although it was a tough experience, they got my daughter the help she needed. The Doctor and Hygienists were fast, efficient in their diagnosis (more hopeful than the oral surgeon) the work performed and excellent communicators. A couple hours after the procedure she is finally eating, drinking and snug in bed but she has a new smile well have to live with! We are so so thankful for their quick response to our needs! They now have a new family to add to their list and I know that we can count on them for care and would refer anyone with kids to go here! Thank you Dr. Lindsay!

Experiencia fantástica: My kids have been going here for years. Every time we go, I am impressed by their professionalism, and child friendly service. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place... all of the staff behind the scenes are GREAT and it's always a pleasure. The only thing I don't like is the two ladies in the front desk, they have never been friendly to us. They need to smile a little more ☺

Experiencia fantástica: Kid-oriented, very welcoming. They did an excellent job with some difficult cavities for my 5-year-old son. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: My 6yr old is autistic and delayed, so mentally he's more around 3yrs old. He won't even allow anyone to look in his mouth much less put anything in it so cleanings are out of the question. The dentist was great with him, he really had to work to see those teeth but didn't get mad or frustrated with my son. The rest of the staff was great too, no one made me feel embarrassed for how crazy hyper he was being. My 9yr old was also very scared going in to his appt and they made it a really good experience for him.

Experiencia fantástica: We have been going to Dentistry for Children & Adolescents for 5+ years now. WE LOVE their services! My kids actually love going to the dentist [for the prizes of course!] They take a great approach with children, explaining everything & taking out any fear. They guide me, as the parent, through every step of the way as well. I highly recommend Dentistry for Children & Adolescents if you are looking for a dentist who will keep your child's health and happiness in mind.

Experiencia fantástica: My 5 year old son was so scared going into his dentist visit. The last time he was there all the COVID protocols were new and he was freaked out! He was more prepared this time and was trying to be brave, but fear took over and he went off running toward the door. When I got him back to the chair, the hygienist did such a great job comforting him and showing him exactly what she was going to do and what tools she was going to use. She demonstrated on a teddy bear and even let him feel the tools. Because of her patience and reassurance, my son had a successful visit!

Experiencia fantástica: I have an autistic son and all of the staff that works on his teeth are very patient and accommodating of his needs. Even though I moved, I continue to visit the Burnsville clinic despite it being further away. I am going to miss Dr Pamela Erikson as she is retiring in 2021. I would highly recommend this clinic to any parent looking for a new dental provider for their children

Experiencia fantástica: The reception that we receive at every visit is the same. Everyone that we encounter is helpful and friendly. Even though we don't live in Burnsville anymore we still come back because of their professionalism.

Experiencia fantástica: Very good service from everyone there. Very friendly and gentle staff that eased my daughter's anxiety. They went at her pace and didn't rush her or push her into things she was uncomfortable with. I highly recommend this practice.

Experiencia fantástica: My goodness, these folks know what they are doing! They do an amazing job of talking to kids in a way they can understand and make it less scary. They also do such wonderful work incredibly quickly. I would bring my kids to them anytime!

Experiencia negativa: Its my biggest mistake i went there for my kids routine dental checkup..Thay just do lot of extra rhings those were not covered in insurance to get money...For normal routine chech up they send me a big bill that make me really upset...so please pkease dont go there. My previous dental clinic did not charge me any bill as all was covered by same insurance company. Same thing i asked from Dentistry for achildren staff before taking appoinment, she said their clinic is in health parterners network. But on this bill when i checked with health partners, they said Dentistry for Children is not is in health partners network. why your staff misguide me???

Experiencia fantástica: Staff are friendly and caring. They are amazing at using kid friendly vocabulary to help them be calm and relaxed.

Experiencia fantástica: Dentistry for Children and Adolescents has combined patience, persistence, and professionalism to create a comfortable environment for our child with special needs.

Experiencia fantástica: I went here as a kid and now my kids go here. Its always been a great place! I highly recommend you take your kids here!

Experiencia positiva: I brought my daughter in for some fillings. They worked fast and efficient. My concerns was when she didn't get to hear my warning about the novicain; and, how she was uncomfortable with the gas over her nose.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience with my nonverbal special needs son- everyone is always so patient and kind. They let him explore and get comfortable while still making sure he gets the dental care he needs. I feel so fortunately to have found such an amazing resource.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing! Our experience with our most recent cleaning and follow-up appointments for additional dental work on both our kids beat all expectations by the Dentistry for Children & Adolescent staff. Our kids were at ease with the cleaning. But when we were told we'd have to come back for additional dental attention, my heart stopped with worry for my kids. The staff put me at ease. The staff was absolutely wonderful with the kids, patient, answered all their questions, let them hold the dental tools and explained in terms of which they'd understand of what was going to happen next. Had an amazing approach to distracting, drawing attention elsewhere as they worked through some of the more challenging steps in repairing their teeth. We parents were impressed and our kids left feeling good (numb but good). We are very happy with the service and the feeling they give our kids of visiting the dentist. We'll see you in 6 months. Thank you!!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Pam and all staff are extremely caring and sensitive to both my boys and dealing with the "fear" of going to the dentist. I'm sad to hear Dr. Pam is retiring this winter she has been great and easy to work with - I do trust my boys are in good hands going forward!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience today with Dr. Pam! SHE is absolutely wonderful with my son. She is so patient and kind.

Experiencia fantástica: I was very nervous for my 3 year olds appointment because he does not do well at the doctor, but they took the time to explain everything to him in kids terms and let him touch all the tools. He did great and wasn’t scared at all. Would highly recommend for kiddos!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Dan Fallon at Dentistry for Children and Adolescents in Burnsville is awesome! He is trustful, kind, and does great work!

Experiencia fantástica: We have been bringing our kids here for a couple years and they have been great. Today's visit went about as good as a visit could go. They staff was welcoming and engaged with my daughter throughout the procedure and all was good!

Experiencia fantástica: Update: My seven year old just had his back molars sealed yesterday. He has a lot of anxiety and fear of getting dental work done. The procedure went great. My little guy rose to the occasion, but in large part it was due to the staff talking to him through the procedure and keeping him calm. They were able to get us in and out very quickly, which helped a lot too. Thank you for making this a positive experience! Dr Pam and the hygienists are so good working with my highly sensitive children. One of my children has a developmental delay and is sensitive to tastes and the other is afraid of getting his teeth cleaned. They are great at making adjustments on the fly to help make my kids as comfortable as possible. I definitely recommend this practice.

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter suffers from an anxiety disorder. Going to the dentist is always stressful for her. The staff are so patient with her they explain each step they are going to do. Show her the tools they are using and explain their uses. They take so much time to do their best to alleviate as much of her fears as they can, and give her time if she needs a few minute break. Tremendous empathy and patience. Would recommend to any parent they are awesome!

Experiencia fantástica: My son loves going to the Dentist. Everyone is very friendly and they answer any questions I may have for them. I would highly recommend anyone to try Dentistry for children out!

Experiencia positiva: The staff was SUPER friendly and kind. They made helpful accommodations for our 2 year old, answered our questions, put us at ease, and gave helpful advice. The reason I wouldn't give our latest visit 5 stars is that we were exactly on time for our appointment but had to wait 30 min. to be seen by the dentist. That's a long time for a 2 year old to wait with no waiting room. The staff made the best of it, but that could've been better.

Experiencia fantástica: I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. We took our daughter there for her first visit and had the most incredible experience. Shannon and Dr. Sally were so kind and thoughtful through the whole thing. We love going there!!!

Experiencia fantástica: The best dental care I have ever experienced! Professional, courteous, and friendly staff made my son feel like family… would highly recommend to anyone!!! Very good and safety guidance for COVID.

Experiencia fantástica: They are awesome! My 6 and 4 year old love to go to the dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: The hygienists and Dr. Pam have always done a great job putting our daughter at ease.

Experiencia fantástica: My kids have been going here since they were 1years old. It's always a great experience. Staff are super nice and take the time to explain everything to the kids, making them feel comfortable about the experience. We love it

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is amazing! They were extremely patient with my youngest who was in meltdown mode. So happy we found them and I recommend them to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Going to the dentist for my kids for 16+ years. Always gentle and kind and fun!

Experiencia fantástica: I was really impressed with the thorough cleaning and all the precautions the staff made due to COVID-19. It is very important for me because I have a kid with immuno compromised medical condition. I trust this clininc is very safe. And as always it's a friendly place. I highly recommend this dental clinic to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Good first experience, waiting to see how does crown in my kid goes?

Experiencia fantástica: I recently started bringing my children to this clinic and am really impressed. They are quick, efficient and thorough.

Experiencia fantástica: My kids have been going to this dentist since the beginning. It was recommended to me by another mom, and I have zero regrets. Everyone is great, and I can get all 3 of my kids seen at the same time.

Experiencia fantástica: We love coming to this office, the staff and place are wonderful!! They make our kids and ourselves feel great going to the dentist, thank you for all your care and love you put into your patients and their families!

Experiencia fantástica: My son has special needs and his first appointment went amazing because of the great staff in burnsville! They worked slow for him and made everything seem fun and not scary! We will definitely be going back.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff who makes our son at ease about his dental visits.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Erickson and her team are great! My boys enjoyed the dental visit. Great job with the COVID-19 safety measures we felt very comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a good 1st visit for my 2yo son. Felt very safe as well with all the COVID precautions! Everyone was welcoming and kind and made a first visit fun & quick.

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter Mackenzie had her teeth cleaned & X-rays done and they did such a wonderful job! My daughter actually looks forward to her 6 month dental appointments as she has always had such good experiences with the dentists and dental hygienist’s. Wonderful place! ~ Nicole

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience for my son's second visit (he's 3.5), and all the necessary safety precautions taken for Covid-19. Hygienist and dentist (Dr. Pam) were both great.
