Dentistry For Children

Experiencia negativa: I am extremely disappointed with our experience at this office. My five-year-old son has significant anxiety in medical settings, and instead of being met with patience or understanding, he was labeled as “ridiculous” by staff. That comment was inappropriate and unprofessional, especially toward a young child who was clearly overwhelmed. My son has multiple cavities that require treatment. Rather than offering appropriate behavior management options, sedation, or referral to a pediatric dentist experienced with anxious children, we were told they would not treat him. We were then offered the option to have his teeth removed, but informed that they would not place spacers afterward. The doctor also stated that without spacers, his teeth would likely shift significantly because his adult teeth may take years to come in. Being presented with extraction as a primary solution — while also being told that it could cause long-term alignment issues — was extremely concerning. Families with anxious children deserve compassionate, solution-focused care and appropriate referrals when needed — not judgment or limited options that may create future dental complications. I would not recommend this office to parents whose children require patience and specialized pediatric support. Updated Review: After my original review, the dentist personally called me and asked me to remove it. During that call, I was told that I was “telling a story” about what their staff member said. I want to be very clear: I have no reason to fabricate anything. My review reflected my genuine experience as a parent seeking care for my child. Instead of addressing the concerns I raised — including my child being called “ridiculous,” being refused cavity treatment, being told his teeth may need removal without spacers (despite concerns about shifting while adult teeth take years to erupt) — I was pressured to delete my review. Most concerning, I was informed that their office is now refusing to treat my other two children as well. Denying care to siblings after a parent leaves a negative review feels retaliatory and deeply unprofessional. My child struggles with anxiety in medical settings. As a parent, I was seeking patience, guidance, and treatment options — not judgment, dismissal, or threats of discontinuing care. I stand by my original review. Parents deserve transparency and compassion, especially when dealing with pediatric dental anxiety and significant dental needs.

Experiencia negativa: I’m going to be completely real with you. This dentist… STAY AWAY. We went to this dentist and because of it being the only place to take Medicaid. Well I’m 18 now and moved over to a legit dentist that I will pay for out of pocket. Mind you, I just had a cleaning done at this place along with a filling on 1 tooth… When I went to the new dentist office, it comes to find out I have 6 cavities that were ignored, one cavity was under a filling because it wasn’t done properly, and that tooth now needs a crown and possible root canal. Also, they completely ignored the fact that my wisdom teeth were pushing up against my other teeth and need to be taken out. This dentist is NOT the route to go. Never EVER go here. They are a literal assembly line and truly don’t know what they are doing.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly staff. Dr jay is awesome the whole staff is caring and was very patient with my scared child

Experiencia negativa: very unprofessional. I’ve been calling a little over a month now to book appointments for my kids but every single time it has either been “well give you a call back” “you’ll have to call back after 12” OR “our system is down.

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down, best team. They've been taking care of my child for the last 9 years

Experiencia negativa: The front desk and my daughter doctor was fine but his assistant Keila was very rude I do not wish to have her next time we come here again other than that. Sarah was amazing!

Experiencia negativa: My son came in and they took him to the room was back there for an hour and then I get taken back to talk to a lady that tells me the stuff they put in his tooth exploded and burnt his skin and inside his mouth. When I first seen it just a tad red! Said tonout Vaseline on it that it would be okay in a few weeks…. So it’s been 3 days and I’m beyond pissed!!!!! I’ve had experiences here where my daughter had her fillings fall Out the next day or my son spitting metal Out from his cap for days but this is on a whole nother level!!!!!! He doesn’t even wanna go to the dentist ever again because every single time he has a bad experience but this is by far the worst

Experiencia fantástica: Today was our first time at the dentist, every one is so kind and friendly. Extremely patient with amazing attitudes. The atmosphere is great and kid friendly. The staff made sure they answered all questions and I understood everything that took place. Most importantly the were gentle and didn't make me feel like my childs high energy was an issue. I love it here!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience, place was clean smelled clean service was fast and efficient and staff was very kind. We've been using their services for 14 years and love them. Dr. Jay royally rocks.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience every time customer service is excellent dentist assistant very patient and I like the fact that they take all my kids at one time that’s an A+ for me

Experiencia fantástica: They were quick and friendly and took care of all three of my children in a timely manner.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. J is truly amazing when I tell you I was so nervous my palms were sweaty, and I was sweating only because I was nervous, but Dr. Jason did a phenomenal job. He has a great sense of humor and makes you feel at home. He’s friendly and has a great sense of humor from here on out thanks to him. I love the dentist now

Experiencia positiva: We have been going here for several years. They are professional and the office is clean. Waiting times are an issue and it seems like they overbook appointments like airlines overbook seats. Also, they only seem to spend about 10 minutes on the cleanings. They don't have private rooms for any treatments besides cleanings, so if your child is anxious you cannot go back with them. Actually, they might have ONE, but the wait time is more than 6 mos last time I checked. Even the regular room is at least 2 months out. None of the above is enough to make me stop going there and regardless, dental care that takes insurance AND new patients is hard to find. I would recommend and note the above in case your child has special issues.

Experiencia fantástica: Love it! No crazy wait time. The dental assistance are amazing and super nice. The front clerks are great with the customer service! Every appointment that we’ve gone to has been the same great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I am a mother of six. We have been going here for years. The staff is professional and pleasant. The office is welcoming for children. Dr. Jay McCaslin is great! He is very detailed oriented and knowledgeable. 1000 out of 10.

Experiencia positiva: It’s a decent facility to get the services your kids need.

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly service was quick

Experiencia fantástica: Simple and fast and welcoming.

Experiencia fantástica: I had great experience today at Dentistry for Children. Great staff and fast service

Experiencia fantástica: The staff are absolutely wonderful, great with the children, and they really care about the oral health of the patient!

Experiencia fantástica: The Doctor and Ms. Bev, was excellent in getting my little guy to relax to clean his teeth

Experiencia fantástica: The place itself was so clean and animated I love the entire setup and everyone was so nice to my child it was in and out the whole time we was there I love it thanks so much ❤️ my son is smiling bright

Experiencia fantástica: I have heard so many positive things about dentistry for kids and I decided to try them out, AMAZING ! Clean , Quick , easy and professional! From the front desk on back ! Compared to my children’s previous dentist ! WE ARE IN HEAVEN !

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was helpful and very professional. The child friendly atmosphere was very relaxing. Quinton had a great visit.

Experiencia negativa: They going out of business or the doctor is not working .. something is going on the been close but didn’t let parents know anything !!!! I found this out because I book my kids appointment with a new doctor and the office told me that the doctor was leaving this office… so go head and find something new ! This off was okay but everytime they do my kids yearly cleaning they always put the same thing. They never change anything on the paperwork. It always just says the same thing like they don’t even check it, but the paperwork says something different from what the doctor says. The doctor always tell me how good I do with my kids teeth. They don’t have any cavities you know for them to be so young their teeth are really healthy, but then when they print me out of paper it says normal normal normal which is not a big deal but it just lets me know that y’all don’t take the time out to actually change everything for each patient which is not OK because if I’m a parent and I’m going over and beyond to make sure my kids do not have any cavities I want paperwork to say that not to say the same as a parent that’s just doing the bare minimum or just brushing their kids teeth once a day

Experiencia fantástica: Quick and very professional Dr.Jay was amazing he made my son first tooth removal go smoothly, easy and quick.All the front desk ladies and dental hygienist were very nice, patient, friendly and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience was fantastic. They have always been great with all my children. I will always go here. They’re kind understanding caring they’re just amazing. Thanks dentistry for children for all you’ve done for us.

Experiencia fantástica: They did a great job. Love the staff

Experiencia fantástica: From the welcoming front desk staff to the gentle dental hygienist and caring doctor, I want to thank every one of you for making Rue feel comfortable and special. The calming atmosphere made such a difference, and the Trolls movie playing was a delightful touch! Your name truly reflects your mission—Dentistry for Children is exactly what you are, and you do it so well. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: The nurses was super best visit since we been going the doctor was awesome

Experiencia fantástica: We got in and out really fast! And everyone was so nice on our first visit! Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Very welcoming staff and facility. This place of business is completely organized and decorated for the comfortability of the children. With a room set up like a mini theater,walls decorated from top to bottom, and such reassuring staff.I watched kids go from being anxious and scared to calm and collected before going back and smiles on her face when they came out. When it was our turn to go back the nurses explained to each child ages two and three what they were doing and was very interactive with them and consoling. They have headphones on each station for children to sit back and watch a movie so they don't have to hear the dental tools working as well as soft blankets for snuggles while having dental work done. Upon finishing both kids were given a oral hygiene bag with new toothbrushes, dental floss and toothpaste as well as a sticker and a treasure chest prize..Definitely worth the two 2-hour drive to make sure my children got the best care for their first dentist appointment possible. We were amazed at how each team member was constantly doing something and there was no one standing around. We are looking forward to working with this excellent team as my kids grow. My son has not stopped talking about his teeth Doctor (dentist appointment ) and already wants to go back.

Experiencia fantástica: Both my children have been going to Dentistry For Children since they were babies! I love it here. The atmosphere is just so welcoming and the hygienists and the doctor are all so friendly and care about the children’s smiles!! Both my children always leave happy and the staff has so much patience.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very pleasant and they are on time. I love their positive energy every that we have been there. I would recommend them to any one 10 toes down.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very friendly and respectful. I had a great first time experience

Experiencia fantástica: Always Professional. Makes Boss feel ar home. He isn't afraid to sit in the chair, and the staff always answers our questions!

Experiencia fantástica: In and out quickly even though it's really crowded. They made my 3yo comfortable as possible

Experiencia positiva: Everyone was pleasant, clean , my son and I were in and out with me being a few minutes late. Bye

Experiencia fantástica: We have been patients for almost 8 years between both my kids. My youngest has always had a lot of anxiety and fear with the dentist and the staff and doctors have ALWAYS been so patient and kind with her to make her more comfortable. We willingly make the hour commute each way just to see this staff. Shout out to Dr. Byron, Kindol, and Trish for always loving our girls and giving the best care. We appreciate everyone at Dentistry for Children!

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice office, quick service and employees are kind and diligent

Experiencia fantástica: My oldest was a patient here when he was younger and now my youngest is coming here as a patient. They are still running the place nice and very professional.

Experiencia positiva: 2nd time here, customer service excellent, waiting time after signing in was short and sweet, only complaint I had was, our 1st visit in the bay area the parents were allowed to be with there kids, this time, my 10 y/o is having a procedure and I'm not allowed to be with him, the tech told me only private rooms allow parents in the back. Not sure if they changed their procedures, I wasn't the only one left in the waiting area, it's comforting to the children when the parents are present. Questions can be asked as well. Otherwise instructions, requests, F/U's, etc. was professional and timely.

Experiencia fantástica: First time bringing my daughter to her dentist appointment at this office,love that they are fast and not slow with calling names everyone is friendly and I would recommend

Experiencia positiva: I came an hr early almost and had to wait an extra hour and sum change for my child to be in the seat not even 5minutes and before then they let someone else in his chair wen his appointment was scheduled 3weeks before

Experiencia fantástica: Love the service I've been going here since I was a kid and now that I'm a adult I love how they treated me

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first visit for my son. The staff was so nice and friendly. My wait wasn’t long at all. I’m glad I chose to come there. I would definitely recommend anyone that I know to make an appointment.

Experiencia fantástica: We’ve been coming here for about 3 years now. It’s always a pleasant experience from the time we walk through the door until we leave. Staff is always sweet and kind and they ease all my daughter’s nervousness. The waiting area is comfortable and clean. The atmosphere is so kid friendly. We’re always in and out. Couldn’t ask for better a better dentist!

Experiencia negativa: I want to let you know as I do appreciate dentist and the care they provide for kids, I do regretfully write this. To the nurse with the awesome attitude that almost ran over my foot because I was diverting traffic just 25' to other pathway of parking lot, I really appreciate your kindness and gratitude for the other people that work in this world! You have an awesome soul and your welcome for trying to keep you from getting a flat tire with the potholes that needed filling. I do not know how much more nicer to be other than say an old southern saying," God bless your heart" from the old hag. To the manager of the dentistry, I do hope you can have a heart to heart with the beautiful soul, please ask them to be more kind and how they act reflects on your establishment. Thank you for your time.

Experiencia positiva: Equipment needs to be changed out. My daughter had to keep moving from different stations. Employers was not sure about the difference in cost of changing.

Experiencia fantástica: Great Customer Service And Very Friendly And Gentle.Very nice employees. Definitely a welcoming environment. Great place to go. My daughter had a great experience and was not left traumatized and that is most important. She was made very comfortable for her procedure and was smiling when she left. Thank-you all so much we have found our new dentist office.

Experiencia positiva: Granddaughter had an appointment here. Seems very kid oriented. Very busy, but seemed to move quickly.

Experiencia fantástica: This dentistry is a God send especially when handling children with special needs. Ever since my daughter was referred here, this place has been kind and gentle to my daughter. Today my daughter had dental surgery performed by Dr. MCCASLIN at the hospital and he was the best. They always make me and my daughter feel welcome. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Love this office! Always in and out with great customer service. My daughter is always excited to get her teeth clean!

Experiencia fantástica: We had an amazing visit again today! Thank you to the staff and Dr Colley for ALL you do! My child was well taken care of with patience and compassion and a warm friendly welcome a s smiles! Always a great experience to come to your office! That's why we drive over am hour each way to see you! Keep up the great work and thanks!

Experiencia positiva: We got here expecting all work to be done but we had to worked in but I'm thankful cause my babygirl will not be in no more pain. Thanks

Experiencia fantástica: They all were very professional and kind. Even though my child was not hahaha. The place was clean and kid friendly. Love the decorations and TV for the children.Only one thing, the staff in the front should greet more because they are the on the front line of the company. Overall it's a 5 for me.

Experiencia fantástica: We love Dr.J. very much! Everyone is good to us at each visit. I highly recommend Denistry For Children to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this dentist office. They are always very informative and caring.

Experiencia positiva: I absolutely love this place the only problem k have is that I wasn’t allowed to go in the back with my daughter.

Experiencia positiva: Dr Jay was very nice, he was very patient answered all my questions but it was a bit rushed..they definitely got us in and out quickly. The tech that took my children back was not very good with hygiene though. She would touch and type all over the keyboard then get the plastic wrap for my child to put their mouth on without using any hand sanitizer or anything. She did it once again for a different X-ray that they did where she put on gloves but then presumed to touch all over everything (keyboard, mouse, etc) then winded up touching my child’s mouth right after without sanitizing or washing hands..

Experiencia fantástica: They very bussy.and they takecare of you faster...if you looking for a kids. Dentist they the ones..

Experiencia positiva: My kids been going here for years. Never had a problem. They are very patient. Great place for kids!

Experiencia fantástica: Always a pleasant experience. Tiffany was most helpful over the phone the morning of the appointment. Mertice (hygienist?) and the young lady who called us back were very nice and professional. Dr. Bracey was prompt and made my daughter feel at ease. Definitely recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff! Enjoyed our visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Peyton appointment was at 1130. We was called back at 1138 I had to finish his paperwork up, so I expected to wait but it wasn't long. The staff was friendly and great with my son. I love how kid friendly the environment is everyone was nice and courteous.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. No kid likes going to the dentist, but all the staff made it so much more “enjoyable”. They’re super friendly, take their time (while getting you in and out), and the over all environment was very kid friendly and inviting! Coming from a dental office where my child was yelled at and the dentist didn’t care at all, this office and dental staff was a breath of fresh air! Would recommend to ANYONE!

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was very polite and kid friendly My kids were New patients and we still then we were in and out

Experiencia positiva: I love that dentist, they treated my baby like there own and made him feel very comfortable. I love it, love it, love it...

Experiencia fantástica: Aurora loved her experience at Dentistry for children and adolescents. Everyone was very helpful and kind for our first visit, it will definitely not be our last!

Experiencia negativa: You will be in here all day long. No matter if you get there early. Just be prepared to wait for hours even once you’re in the back you wait for over 30 mins on the dentist. It’s like a chop shop in this place. Yet they are just about the only people in Savannah that takes government insurance so I guess I have to get what I get and not have a fit. We’ve been coming here for years and the wait time has just gotten worse over the years.

Experiencia negativa: THE WAIT TIME IS AWFUL MY SON'S APPOINTMENT WAS AT 2:00 PM GOT THERE AT EXACTLY 2 AND THEY CALL HIM BACK UNTIL 2:51 PEOPLE WERE COMING IN AFTER US AND WAS BEING CALLED AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE WENT TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE TWICE BEFORE BEING CALLED WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A APPOINTMENT IF YOU DON'T GET SEEN WHEN YOU ARRIVE ON TIME

Experiencia negativa: My daughters have been going here for five years and I used to think very highly of this place until our last visit. The dental hygienist that was assisting with one my daughters was rude, disrespectful & very unprofessional. My daughter is older (16) so I sent her to the back by herself. When she returned I could tell something was wrong and once in our car she burst into tears telling me that the dental hygienist was talking to her nasty, forcefully moving her head and told her that she should of just stayed home if she wasn’t going to follow her directions. I let the office manager know what happened and was told it would be handled but no apology to me or my daughter and no follow up on how they handled the dental hygienist.

Experiencia negativa: This dentistry is more like a puppy mill.Entertaining, but if they need additional service, you can expect to wait months and months for fillings for your children.And in fact, they will make you come back and do one at a time. They do not care if your child gets the additional service ! This is all about medicaid money.

Experiencia fantástica: Great professional staff the doctor was very compassionate and understanding. Everyone understood my granddaughter’s issues.

Experiencia negativa: Horrible I would never go back staff was fine but the doctor was very unprofessional not going into details

Experiencia fantástica: It was my son’s first ever dentist appointment! We walked in at 10:45 for a cleaning and checked out by 11:15! It was very friendly staffed and the Dentist him self was also very personable! My son immediately liked his surroundings!

Experiencia fantástica: I love this dentist off for kids. Very welcoming staff on their job, and move you out so smoothly.

Experiencia fantástica: I am very happy with our visit. My child was in no pain. I was in and out . Very clean and quite.

Experiencia fantástica: 10/10 made my son feel so welcome. The best dentistry I have ever been to any child would love it. Well worth the 2 hour ride.

Experiencia fantástica: The visit was quick. My daughter was happy with no cavity results but was also excited she be getting braces. We were referred to a specialist for a consultation which I felt was very informative and helpful to making sure she keeps her teeth.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Byron is amazing. My 3 year old had to have a tooth removed and he was so patient with her even with all the crying and kicking. The staff is also great and friendly.

Experiencia negativa: The dr that owns the practice was really rude and non understanding. I don’t recommend to anyone. But the staff was really nice and professional. Definitely a 2/10

Experiencia fantástica: Docs are very patient. Office is very kid-friendly. I love this office!

Experiencia fantástica: Very clean, friendly customer service and knowledgeable of services that are being rendered

Experiencia fantástica: I Pray I never leave here because it is going to be hard to find another dentist to ensure my daughter’s teeth are in tip top shape! Loveeeeee their Covid19 Precautions!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice service and all the staff members are so friendly

Experiencia fantástica: Mertice IS AWESOME. I think that’s how you spell her name lol. She’s patience with the children and she’s calm always! Always sweet! My baby boy absolutely loves her and she’s gentle !!!! The office it self is pretty durn swift. My son appointment was at 10:45! We got there at 10:36 .. 10:41 they were calling us for X-rays and cleaned his teeth next! I was out of there in no time!!! Not even a hour !!! And I was allow to go back with my son and that I love the most because I like to see how my baby is behaving and making sure he’s being treated right!!!!

Experiencia negativa: Worst experience ever! This is the second time I have been disappointed.. First time, My daughter supposed to get her teeth clean with her siblings but didn’t only X-rays .. made a new appointment for her cleaning… she’s got her cleaning was told she’s needed something for her fill in from her cavity… so here is the second problem.We drove two hours to get to My daughter appointment (Today 11/15/23) so she could receive what she needed ( I forgot what it is called)… the lady who worked there ( I wish I got her name ) told me I couldn’t go back there wasn’t enough room. Okay cool.. I have before but okay cool.. so I went to the bathroom… came out sat down. They called me on my phone so I walked up to the counter… the lady told me… I am so sorry for wasting your time and energy… Medicaid only cover this one time someone should’ve caught this… so One- this lady assumed I couldn’t afford the treatment… two- y’all look or someone looks on the computer… no one didn’t see it until we got there??? This is VERY unacceptable!

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place, very clean& professional. They also have a mini movie theater for the children.

Experiencia fantástica: Special shout-out to the lady at the front desk, Candice! Her energy and helpfulness was through the roof!

Experiencia negativa: Made the appointment for a broken tooth. We drove an hour and a half for them to look in his mouth and say “yes, it’s chipped and needs to be fixed. The only appointment we have is 2 months out.” Why not book the time for the dentist to fix the broken tooth

Experiencia positiva: Would not recommend for children 4 and under. Not very patient and seem to be more worried with how fast they can get patients in and out.

Experiencia fantástica: We have great experience!! They are super friendly and helpful!!

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great place to take your kids! My daughter was so scared for her first dentist appointment and of course was crying. They were very understanding and patient with her ! Unlike some places get mad and very impatient, not this place! My kids had a great experience at this dentist !

Experiencia fantástica: My 2 sons had appointments with Dr. Colley today. The staff members are all very friendly and helpful. And Dr. Colley always takes time to discuss anything we need to know after their appointments. He is a great dentist!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was great! Staff was amazing. This was my sons first dentist appointment and he took to them better than I imagined

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Byron Colley and the team here are angels. Last Friday, our three year old son had a bad fall that landed him in the emergency room at the Children’s Hospital. The doctor there recommended that he see a pediatric dentist right away due to a tooth being knocked out and possible other damage to his mouth. We called his regular dentist and asked if they could work him in before they closed for the weekend, and they turned our son away. We spent the next couple hours trying to find a new dentist. Dr. Colley, whom we had never met, met us at his office after hours and helped our son. We are truly grateful for this angel.

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly! Fast paced to get their families in and out in a very timely manner! We love them

Experiencia fantástica: After coming here my kids are no longer scared of the dentist.. Thank you for your patience and kindness.. I don't know how you guys extracted my baby son tooth without him even crying. Plus, did a couple of fillings on both of my boys.. They didn't cry at all and they still have a smile on their face. You guys are Amazing!!! Will definitely be bringing the family back!!

Experiencia fantástica: Been taking my kids for years and I absolutely love them.
