Any recommendations for a pediatric dentist? My daughter has sensory issues so I definitely need a dentist with A LOT of patience. Thank you in advance!

Emily C. replied:
We've been to Dr. Porter for years, we have loved it every time. He is always so patient and positive with the kids. He always makes sure they leave feeling good about themselves!

Raleigh Pediatric Dentistry Dr David Olson 10931 Raven Ridge Rd Raleigh, NC 27614 (in Falls River Shopping area off Durant) (919) 845-8212 He and his staff are amazing!

My children have been going to Dr Olson for over 9 years.
Tara M. replied:
Gentle Family Dentistry in Wake Forest Two sisters own it. My 10 year old has sensory integration disorder and they understand and were and are amazing at helping my daughter go through teeth cleaning and recently a cavity that needed a shot of nova cane. The staff was amazing and she didn't feel a thing. My daughter now loves the dentist and even wanted to go to my appointment. Call and explain your needs they will accommodate. They mailed my daughter a welcome kit with little book for her first appointment. She loved it. We went to a local highly recommended ped dentist and it was an awful experience they knew nothing of sensory needs. Gentle family dentistry does. Good luck...
Kim G. replied:
My daughter also has SPD. She had terrible experiences before going to Triangle Pediatric. Dr Porter & staff are incredible!! She now enjoys the dentist.
Katie W. replied:
Dr Buddy!!! Or Dr Porter. Triangle Pediatric dentistry on Rogers road. We hosted an orphan from Ukraine who had never had dental work and needed 8 rotting baby teeth pulled and Dr Buddy was SO sweet and patient as was his staff. Can't recommend them highly enough!

We love Dr. Johnson!

Triangle Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Porter is great! Right beside The Factory.
Jackie A. replied:
http://www.raleighpedo.com/ Awesome with the kids. Both dentists are great and hygienists.
Bill B. replied:
Dr. Rex Card has done a great job with both of my kids.
Jenni M. replied:
We did not have a good experience with Dr Johnson's office, she was nice but the hygienist just made for a terrible experience. We loved Soutpoint Pedo, it is certainly worth the drive as my toddler now clamps his mouth closed when you come near. The atmosphere and employees there really made him comfortable.

We go to Triangle Pediatric Dentistry on Rogers Rd and see Dr. Buddy. My son also has sensory issues. They're very patient and don't push my son to do things he's not ready for (like sit for x-rays, sit in the reclining chair). I get frustrated, and they're ok. This last visit was our third or fourth, and he sat in the big chair instead of in my lap leaning back with his head in the dentist's lap. They would have still let me do that if we had needed to. They give the kids sunglasses in the chair because the light is so bright. They also don't use polishers on him (age 4). They just clean his teeth with a regular toothbrush and floss.
Karrie M. replied:
Dr. Porter@Carolina (or Triangle) pediatric. Best dentist ever!!! (After having to have my son sedated to have his teeth CLEANED before him). Hygienists are great and dr porter was great with him!!
Susan W. replied:
Dr. Carl McMillan specializes in working with autistic children and these children often have sensory issues. He's not a pediatric dentist BUT he does consults for young children and is very up to date in treating any decay issues holistically ( using nutritional, homeopathic, and study based treatments ) so they can avoid sedation as scientific research now shows an increase in deficit disorders and sedation in very young children. It's not uncommon for small children to have some dental issues because they have a strong preference for certain foods (crunchy and starchy usually ). http://www.smilesraleigh.com/dr-mcmillan.html
Susan W. replied:
My son had some oral sensory issues and at age 2 we learned he had a class III tongue tie and a lip tie. He preferred certain foods, smooth or crunchy, and starchy and he didn't want anyone near his mouth, he also had colic/reflux as a baby. We had it revised via a laser and his oral sensory issues resolved and is speech exploded. http://www.mommypotamus.com/a-step-by-step-guide-to-diagnosing-tonguelip-ties/

My boys (5 and 7) go to Riccobene Kids in Cary. It's a bit of a haul for us, but they make the wee ones very comfortable. They have knight/dragon/princess murals all over the walls and televisions on the ceilings of the treatment rooms. They explain everything to the children in friendly language, and I am impressed with how well they handle the kids every time we go. (*Plus* there's a free Starbuck's machine in the lobby.):)
Did not have a positive experience with our last pediatric dentist (mainly the office staff and not in wake forest) but my daughter, 4, had one of her caps fall off and...

Jenn H. replied:
I don't go to a pediatric dentist but they are great with kids. I think they take all insurances but you can look him up on the web and his website tells you. Jason Mullen in Clayton. It is far for us to go but he was somewhere else when I started going to him and followed him. I have a co-worker that drives all the way from Cary to see him because he likes him so much. Either way good luck!
Ken- R. replied:
Ashley Lloyd on St. Mary's St. in Raleigh. She is awesome!
Melissa H. replied:
Ok, so Dr. Mullen takes his insurance and she has an appointment. Bad thing is.....daddy has to take her. Pay back!!! LOL

Niti W. replied:
We love Cary Pediatric Dentistry at Waverly Place in Cary. Every single person from the receptionist all the way through is patient and wonderful with kids. The only issue is they don't bill insurance so you have to pay in full up front and request reimbursement from your insurance company. The office does give you everything you need to mail the claim though.
Cindy T. replied:
If Dr. Christy Davis in Brier Creek is In Network for you, give her a try she's great.
Jeffrey B. replied:
I've heard that Cary Pediatric Dentistry was good but it may be too far for you anyway. Obviously I have no first hand experience since my kid is a dog! http://www.carypediatricdentistry.com/
