We need to switch our children's dentist asap. The clinic they go to now refuses to let me go back with them for their hour cleaning and they are 3 and 5. So any...
Cyn B. replied:
Dr Bowman in East Bremerton for dentist. Dr Al-Agba Silverdale pediatrics.
Heidi B. replied:
We just started at South Kitsap Family Dentistry. Great experience for my whole family. I went back with all my kids. http://www.skfamilydental.com/

The reason we try to encourage parents to stay in the waiting room during treatment is because the dental chair mimics a stage, Where the child can perform for the attentive parent. Not only that but children feed off their parents energy so if you're nervous, the child will be too. Understanding the reasons for the rules may help you feel more at ease. My office (Lindquist dental for children) allows parents to come back and watch if they are so inclined.
Stephanie D. replied:
We've had a great experience over the years with Kitsap Kids Dentistry in Bremerton and have always been able to go back with our daughters.
Savannah T. replied:
Lisa Block is the best I have ever been too.
Rebecca W. replied:
Dr. Costa here in port orchard. She is amazing and so is the staff with kids. They even let my 3 yr old sit on my lap while they did his cleaning. And when he had enough they stopped. Each time they have gotten a little further into the cleaning. Making him feel safe and in control. They also give tokens for a toy machine after. All 3 of my boys love them. And they have had to have fillings and extractions (getting ready for braces). Kept my kids calm and comfortable.
Maura C. replied:
Chris Mueller in port Orchard is wonderful.
Lauri L. replied:
Not Dr Block she was really rough with my 3 kids and my 4 grandchildren... We didn't know for a long time... Because we were NOT allowed to go back with the kids... But once they were old enough to explain what was happening to them.... We quit going there...
Veronica G. replied:
Lindquist dental is good for pediatric dentistry. My daughter has been going there since her first tooth came in, and she is 4. I am still able to go back with her. There is a location in bremerton and gig harbor. Also, I like kitsap children's clinic for pediatrician.
Lindsey G. replied:
Dr. Block in gig harbor is wonderful. Both my kids love it there.

Hello Jacqueline Zappey! I am the office manager at Kitsap Kid's Dentistry in East Bremerton. There are two schools of thought regarding parents accompanying their children for dental appointments and you, as their mother, should certainly choose what is going to be best for you and your family. At our office, parents are welcome to accompany their children for all appointments. Check out our website at www.kitsapkidsdentistry.com and feel free to give me a call on Monday at 360 698 3242 ex 4. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have and get the kiddos enrolled at the office that is going to be right for you!

My kids liked Karlie Gaskins on Mile Hill so much that they would rather go there than Kitsap Kids Dentistry (and if you have been there you know what a big deal there Ipads, treasure vending machines and movies in every room are!) Our previous dentist said my 5 year old had one, maybe two, cavities that needed filled right away. We took him to Karlie for a second opinion and she said there were no cavities, maybe a weak spot if anything that we could watch.
Rochelle N. replied:
For a pediatrician I very highly recommend Dr Jenny Chow at Silverdale Women's and Childrens. She is just wonderful!
Aaron G. replied:
South Kitsap family dentistry, Dr Bock, their office is the best by far!!!
Sarah Y. replied:
Pediatrics Northwest in Gig Harbor is a wonderful practice. We see Dr. Kregenow, but everyone we have seen there is great.

Dr Mike with dr Costa are great! They always let me go back or not with my kids. No issues at all. They are amazing!
Amy S. replied:
My two oldest (8 & 5) and I go to Dr. Makadia at Healthy Teeth Dental. The work areas are open so I can see them any time I want. While they are working on me, the kids can play in the lobby & "check on" me as needed. They get tokens for the toy dispenser afterward. He is really good about explaining to kids about what he does & how to take care on their teeth.
Sue A. replied:
Dr. Bock and Hutchinson are awesome! They are here in Port Orchard.
Tish H. replied:
I take all three to Karlie Gaskins on MIle Hill in PO. She has kids the same age and is always great with them. I also really like her staff.
Do you have a trusted pediatric dentist in the area?
Courtney W. replied:
We use Kitsap Kids Dentistry and love them, but they are Bremerton. We saw Hayes as kids I think and liked them too. JoNell Sims Turner is that the right name?
Carissa W. replied:
Dr. Katrina Hayes at Dentistry for Children on Pottery! We love her, and her staff is AMAZING with little ones!

Agape Dental Care so the best!
Delvee L. replied:
Dentistry for Children on Pottery In Port Orchard. We see Dr. Hayes and my son tells us "he's a good doctor" (he's only 3) but it's always good to find a dentist you and your children feel comfortable with.
Heidi W. replied:
Katrina Hays at Dentistry for Children! Had her for all my kids for years. Love her!
all 6 of my kids have gone to Dentistry for Children on Pottery for YEARS. In fact we just had a couple check ups today. All of my children like the doctors at this practice and the staff has always been great with us. Drs. Jeff or Katrina Hayes and Dr Michael Becker....we have seen all of them!
Rochelle N. replied:
We used to use Kitsap Kids Dentistry but they told us Gabe had one, possibly two cavities and there were no detectable cavities at our second opinion appointment and haven't been any in the three years since then.
Heather V. replied:
Karlie Gaskins!! My kids and nieces and nephews have all been her patients since before they even had teeth

Dr Shelly Self in poulsbo. She is great with our two kids ages 5 and 3. We've been seeing her since the kids were 6 months old and she is wonderful with them.

Karla Gaskins on Mile Hill...my kids have been with her since they were little. She and her staff are great with kids!
Does anybody know a pediatric dentist or just a dentist that accepts Apple health? I am having trouble finding one. Thank you for the help
Veronica G. replied:
Lindquist Dental. There is an office in Gig Harbor and Bremerton. My daughter goes there (has since she was 1), and when she started there was on Apple Health. They have always been great.
Sharon S. replied:
Lindquist dental does they have office in GH and Bremerton I believe.
Tiffany B. replied:
Kitsap kids dentistry or the one in the woods across from Fred myers. All my kids see Jesse Banks at kitsap kids and my step daughter sees Katrina at the place across from Fred myers in Bremerton. We all have apple health. Also peninsula community health takes apple health there's a dental clinic in port orchard and Bremerton
Dr Lisa Block in Gig Harbor .... My daughter had a HUGE fear of the dentist and Dr Block and her staff have worked with her over the last year and now she lives to go.
