Negative experience: We've been going to Croc Doc for about 5 years for our two kids. I have recommended them to quite a few families in those first couple of years, especially. The last 3-4 visits have been lower quality than before (the dentist was not as kind with my son who has anxiety with dental procedures). In fact, we transferred over from another family dentist for that exact reason. I've continued to go for our kids' teeth cleanings mostly because I've been happy with the rest of the staff and experience. We usually arrive to our appointments within 5 minutes of the appointed time, typically right at the start time-but today, we arrived 15 minutes after-which was not at all intentional and partially due to having to take a detour. A few minutes after our arrival, the lady at the desk said she had to ask permission if we could keep our appointment because *now* it was 1:18 and they *now* have a policy for those over 15 min late due to being short staffed. I understand that it is their prerogative to make such a policy, but it is a change that was not mentioned in the many, many appointment reminder texts I have received over the last 10 days. Aside from that, when we walked in it was 1:15, which I know because I checked the time getting out of the car and it was 1:14 with a very short walk inside. I will not be going back--aside from changing the policy and cancelling us the first time we are there so late in 5 years, I already was on the fence about the practice. I will say Dr. Amir seems to have worked on being friendlier with kids these last couple of visits, but that is really not a nice way to treat a family who has been with the practice for so long.

Marco Camacho 4 months ago

Positive experience: The Croc Doc has changed in recent years and not necessarily for the better. Previously, even if appointments weren’t exactly on time, they usually started within 10 minutes. Now, with Dr. Parco no longer there, wait times often stretch to 45 minutes or even an hour. That’s tough on parents who have jobs and especially hard on kids who don’t have the patience for such long delays. The quality of dental care is still good, but the overall experience has shifted. The Croc Doc used to strike a thoughtful balance between excellent care and respect for families’ time. Lately, it feels like the focus has shifted from children’s health to seeing as many patients as possible. That might be typical for many medical practices but it’s a disappointing change for what the Croc Doc used to be.

Raymond T 1 year ago

Positive experience: Had a bit of an uncomfortable moment, the doctor was too rough with my son who has sensory issues, I let them know but it seemed like the doctor just ignored his assistant. Didnt have that with my other son, he had a great experience with getting his crowns on. Having twins I want to be able to take my children to the same dentist, without having them have two different experiences. I'm not one to get upset but when dealing with my children, I take it personally, if you are a recommendation based on children's needs, maybe explain to the child to talk to them instead of just grabbing him and kinda scaring him, he doesn't know this is his first time with you, anyway, I'm just a little disappointed, especially because I have special needs, children.

Brittani Honeyblue 1 year ago

Negative experience: My son had an appointment at 9:00am to get some treatment done that required sedation. We got called back immediately and the assistant started the prep right away. My son took medication and it started working immediately. He was calm and cooperative, and was able to get his mouth opened to prepare for his treatment. 30min went by and he requested the assistant to the back to talk to her about a personal matter, so another assistant came in and took the device out of his mouth as it was taking longer than expected. I’m already a little weary because of how things are going. So the first assistant came back in to take over. I asked her where the dentist was and she asked someone else. So roughly an hour goes by, and they finally try to prep my son again and put the device back in his mouth because the hygienist is ready.By this time, he’s starting to become aware of what’s going on and he panics. I immediately grabbed my son and the hygienist said, we’d have to reschedule due to my son not wanting to cooperate, which I didn’t plan on letting him go ahead with the procedure anyways. So upon leaving I stopped by the front desk and they asked me for payment for the sedation. I asked them why, when treatment wasn’t completed. They stated because he took the medication. I then said, well obviously it was due to expecting the treatment and that the hygienist felt like addressing a personal matter rather than tending to his patient. I would have gladly made payment, if we would’ve received treatment. I don’t know who wakes up and decides to take their kid to a dentist to get sedated without receiving services. Needless to say, I won’t be returning back to that office

Sasha Skacy 1 year ago

Positive experience: I love bringing my kids here the only problem I have is the wait. It doesn't matter if we have an appointment we end up waiting over an hour to get seen and get our cleaning done. By the time they get to my little one he is already restless and he won't sit down.

Lindsey Roberts 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We are so happy with this dentist. We tried two others in the area before my personal dentist recommended one that could treat children with special needs. This office has full understanding of what a child with special needs requires from the dentist, which means I didn't have to explain. So thankful.

D Clayton 1 year ago

Positive experience: This office has always been good. We changed to a different one when we moved to the westside, and we came back. It’s worth the drive. We take our two kids, 10 and 11 yrs. The nurse working with our daughter did an awesome job. Took her time and was worked meticulously. The nurse that worked with our son was lackluster. She had a very thick Spanish accent and it was very difficult to understand her. She rushed the cleaning and the other procedures. Also, she seemed hesitant to speak to the parents. This is the only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5. Everything and everyone else was 5⭐️

Yeah it’s Me 1 year ago

Negative experience: This is the last time I come to the office - this dentist makes you wait HOURS before seeing you - always making me late to work or completely makes me reschedule my entire day . Over two hours late to a dental appt is unacceptable and unprofessional ! This is the third time ! Do not come here unless you want your time to be disrespected by a dentist that can barely even shower it seems . The hygiene from this supposed ” professional “is atrocious spend your insurance money somewhere else ! NEW UPDATE RESPONDING TO UNPROFESSIONAL DENTIST : The fact that you pathetically focused on your looks and tried to make this review about your hygiene shows your lack of ACCOUNTABILITY TO YOUR PATIENTS! you looked like you hadn’t showered in days and your hair was greasy and unkept like a college frat boy . Not to mention the body odor. Aside from that - you said you can’t find my account and I’m not referring to the 2 hour sedation -don’t scapegoat this post to fit your narrative . You have no accountability and refuse to apologize for the multiple times you have had me wait WITHOUT Notice - complete disrespect to your patients time . Word of mouth and screenshots of your response spread like fire and because of your petty unprofessional response, lack of accountability and refusal to apologize for the inconvenience- I will be sharing my experience to friends and family. I can care less if “ have many patients that go to your clinic “ glad you can pat yourself on the back, be so proud . This is PRIME example of how you hold no respect for a patient at your clinic . I will find another dentist that is PROFESSIONAL and not a slob . Thanks for your concern . Ps. please shower.

We are unable to locate your as a patient of record, but all our sedation treatment appointments for example, are about 2 hours, and all parents are informed in advance to plan accordingly. I am sorry about your perception of my personal hygiene which could not be further from the truth. I am further puzzled, and interested to know why you continued your appointments, if you found my personal hygiene so "atrocious" as you put it. We take patient satisfaction, and excellence in clinical care very seriously, and I am happy to say that we are the choice of thousands of patients in the entire El Paso area, and attract patients from hours away, and hope you find a doctor that you are satisficed with his/her appearance. UPDATE to your reply: Your baseless malicious personal attacks against me merit no further response, and our staff are still unable to locate you as a patient of record. We are very proud of the service we provide, and again , hope you find a doctor you are satisfied with.

Fantastic experience: Called on a Friday to get in because my son chipped his tooth. They got us in first thing Saturday morning. Every single staff member is attentive and so nice. We are from out of town and are going to move all our kids for a permanent dentist that’s how much I loved it.

Brenda Olivas 1 year ago

Negative experience: The staff at The Croc Doc were very friendly and made you feel welcomed. We appreciate that they are open on the weekend which accommodates our busy schedules. Unfortunately the doctor made our experience unpleasant and we will not be returning. We understand he has many patients to see, yet there were questions I had regarding my son and the doctor seemed dismissive and quite frankly, came off rude. He definitely needs to work on his bedside manner to ensure he keeps the patients he has.

I take a long drive from fort bliss but it’s all worth it, starting with customer service that’s a big thing for me and just how well they treat their patients. Dr. Amir it’s a piece of gold of a dentist so professional yet so kind and caring for every single one of his patients and I feel privileged when my children are under his care and his wonderful staff

Lemuel Torrescrispin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We are very pleased on how our daughter got treated by the staff and by the dentist they like children and can deal with them treating them with respect, and according to their age, they provided solutions to issues without going to worst-case scenarios first. They told us the baby teeth would fall, so it wasn't a big problem like other dentists planted before coming here. Thank you, Eva and the dentist. You are all awesome and very professional!!!

Jess Reza 1 year ago

Negative experience: I have three kids who are former patients. On Jan 06 they had an appointment and they couldn’t see my daughter because they couldn’t verify her Medicaid. My daughter had her first appointment at 10:00 I got there first and two other patients got seen before her. Angie was rude and shouldn’t be in this office. Telling me I should be fine because she was next.

Fantastic experience: I'm delighted to share a positive review for The Croc Doc: Dentistry! Our experience at The Croc Doc was exceptional, thanks to their commitment to organization, cleanliness, and kindness. From the moment we entered, we were greeted by a warm and friendly staff who made us feel comfortable and at ease. The waiting area was immaculate, creating a calming environment for both kids and parents. The Croc Doc's attention to detail in maintaining a clean and hygienic space was truly impressive. The dental clinic was spotless, giving us confidence in the high standards of cleanliness they uphold. The equipment used during my son's appointment was modern and well-maintained, further reinforcing our trust in their commitment to providing top-notch care. One of the standout aspects of The Croc Doc was the kindness displayed by the entire team. The dentist and staff were exceptionally patient, understanding, and gentle with my son, who often feels anxious during dental visits. They took the time to explain each step of the procedure in a child-friendly manner, ensuring that my son felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. Their compassionate approach transformed what could have been a daunting experience into a positive one. Overall, I highly recommend The Croc Doc: Dentistry for their exceptional organization, cleanliness, and kind-hearted approach. They have created a wonderful dental experience for children, making dental visits a breeze. Thank you, Croc Doc, for your outstanding care!

Negative experience: If I could give this place a half of star I would. Military or federal civilian employees do not bring your kids here. They make you pay out of pocket and tell you that they will bill your insurance and you will have a credit for your account. Well upon calling several times (no one has returned my call) asking about the insurance verification it’s been 6 months and guess what I’m here today for both my kid’s appointment and guess what no insurance verification for the second health insurance and you guessed it they are asking for more money. No my kids will not be returning here.

Ariana Sanchez 2 years ago

Negative experience: Edit: paid with sunbit credit and they charged me $375.... then I call to get an invoice and it's for $275. Why the change? Seems deceitful to me. Love that I was able to be a new patient and get treatment done the same day for my daughter. Very nice layout and I got to be with my daughter the whole time during treatment. I didn't like the fact that they push the laughing gas a lot, it was her first time for a filling and I declined. She did great without it so I felt they asume all the kids go nuts which is clearly not the case. Doctor is super nice and answered all my questions. The girls were all very chatty in the front and playful but got the work done. Professionsally I don't think they should be eating while working.

Negative experience: I'm not one of the people to do this but today I had an appointment with my daughter and she's autistic. I went to the place to have her teeth cleaned. Apart from that, there's a tooth that's growing on top of the other one. The doctor checked her out, the girl who gave her He did the x-rays very professional when the assistant didfrom the doctor she is like brown hair she had zero empathy with my daughter she was the one who had to give her dental cleaning when I saw that my daughter is autistic I felt as if my daughter had a disease or something that was going to happen to her. she did not want to work with my daughter.

Fantastic experience: We love CrocDoc. They are very professional, kind and helpful. We were new to El Paso and after considering multiple dental offices I felt 100% comfortable at CrocDoc. Dr. Amir is an amazing dentist. My children needed extensive dental work and it was done great. I am relieved to be able to find a dentist that I can trust. I highly recommend Croc Doc!

Emily Mills 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: PLEASE READ THIS!!! I did so much research before choosing The Croc Doc. I have a fear of dentists from trauma as a kid. My son had a traumatizing experience before Croc Doc so finding somewhere safe for him was so important. The Croc Doc exceeded our expectations in EVERY way and I cannot say THANK YOU enough. The entire staff is so polite and welcoming. Everyone genuinely looks happy to work that. It is very clean and very colorful and kid friendly. There are tvs mounted throughout and even in the rooms. The nurses and techs are phenomenal. Mil gracias Eva por todo she was so reassuring for both my son and myself. She made this experience truly painless. I will NEVER take my son any where else. If you get anything from this review just know that The Croc Doc is the best at what they do and they treat your entire family with the best care start to finish. Other positives: the wait time is low. All instructions are very clear and explained easily English and Spanish. Medications are offered in different flavors. Kids get popsicles, stickers, and a lollipop after procedures. The laughing gas is scented! The billing is easy and relatively painless. The doctors are efficient and try to get as much work done as possible so you don't need multiple trips.

Madelin Moon 2 years ago

Negative experience: My son had work done and it was a horrible experience. The anesthesiologist was super rude while my son was choking shoving him to wake up, he's 7. Then I find out they didn't even do the coating over my sons teeth. When we finally get him to the car 3 of his teeth that were NOT loose AT ALL just fall out of his mouth. When we finally park at home my son begins throwing up blood, at least a cups worth. Now those teeth that were not ready to come out and weren't supposed to because it wasn't time have come in very crooked since they weren't ready. Dr. Amir is terrible. Then when my son went in for one of his cleanings months later, the new doctor seeing him, some lady was awful. She immediately without asking me, started telling the tech to schedule all this work on my son to straighten his teeth. I just looked at her and said uh no, he was traumatized enough from the the last procedure. She then asks me if it was in house or done at the hospital. I said in house and she tells me well that's why you do it in the hospital. Are you freaking serious! I'm so sorry we couldn't afford the $16,000 the hospital wanted to charge. Our insurance wouldn't cover the hospital part at all. Please find another place for your kids. If you care about them don't bring them here. Dr Parco was great, this place either needs him back or new dentist. Did anyone else have their kids teeth fall out right after the procedure? It's insane.

We are sorry for your experience. The surgeries done at our clinic have the same standard as hospital treatment with more convenience, and considerably lower wait-time on the day of surgery, as compared to that of the hospital. Since we never had any history of any teeth with full roots on them just falling out of the mouth after having performed thousands of surgeries over the past decade, we would like to look into this further, and we were unable to find any record of you in our system. We certainly would appreciate if you contact our office manager Michelle at (915) 444-5121 so we could look into your child's record. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: (Review name is my husband) Today, I went to Croc Doc for the first time. I was already nervous because I scheduled all THREE of my crazy children at the same time. It was a hassle, and I wanted to cry. But the amazing team jumped in, and helped carry and distract one of my children as I had one already in my arms. Not only that but stayed with me to help keep up with my kiddos as I needed to finish paperwork. They made me feel confident and not ashamed for not having it together with all of my kids. They were also super patient with me, and also explained everything with each of my children. Thank you Croc Doc! We will be back! - Stephanie Gonzalez

Negative experience: Dr Amir is very rude and unprofessional will never recommend this dentist to any of my family and friends.Dr Amir only cares about how much he can charge the insurances. Dr. Amir aims to go to the extreme when it comes to his practice when I knew there were several other options available. Staff was great never had issues. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL

Since you have voiced your grievances using more than one account, i would be posting this same response under both reviews. At the Croc Doc Dentistry for kids, we strive to provide the highest level of care to our patients, including your daughter. You made this egregious allegation in person when i met you without any evidence, and i am sorry to see that your perception about our practice could not be further from the truth. You mentioned that "he was going to [do] all that needed to be done to my child without my consent". We never provide any treatment without parental consent. This is the most fundamental and basic aspect of rendering care at all medical offices. I said we would certainly let you know what the treatment is going to be, as we do not have x-rays at the moment, and any final treatment would be based on the x-rays that would be taken at the time of treatment, and a tentative treatment plan was made and discussed with you, and that is why i specifically mentioned to you, in person, that i would need your permission to carry forward with any treatment. It is simply impossible to know what exactly the final definitive treatment is going to be without radiographs taken at the day of the appointment. You stated that i "only care about billing the insurance company and going to the extreme not giving us options on what else could be done". This could not be further from the truth either. In fact, i gave you alternative options as to what a treatment might be, pending final x-rays, and you simply did not agree with one of the options, and only wanted a certain treatment done, which i unfortunately could not guarantee without the presence of radiographs. I would certainly like to do the treatment that you or any parent would prefer, as long as that particular treatment does not result in substandard care. If i cared only about "billing the insurance company", i would not be canceling your appointment. I would instead be agreeing to every treatment you wanted to dictate, regardless of whether it is appropriate or not, and do at least some of the treatment to "bill the insurance company", but we have far too much integrity to do that, and that is why i believed it was best to cancel your treatment appointment, as i firmly believe your daughter deserves to have a doctor that has your trust and confidence. Many thousands of parents in our community do place their trust and confidence in us, and i am sorry to see that i could not garner yours. Nonetheless, i wish nothing but the best for your daughter, and i am happy you found a clinic you are happy with.

Negative experience: Dr. Amir was very rude and only cares about billing the insurance company and going to the extreme not giving us options on what else could be done. My child is not at the age where they can just do a X-ray. He stated the day of the treatment he was going to all that needed to be done to my child without my consent. I’m the parent and I should know what’s getting done. He didn’t want to explain to what was going to be done to my child because as he stated he didn’t have the time. When I asked if I could be notified of anything done to my child his response was what background we had in dentistry. When I told him he was just after the insurance and what he could get done that would be paid for by the insurance he go very defensive and stated that we should cancel the treatment. If you want to find a great dentist I would 5 star recommend star kids pediatrics. Staff was very nice and helpful. Dr Amir was very unprofessional

Fantastic experience: This dental clinic is really good. I was really nervous taking my daughter here because of her disability, but they made her feel really comfortable which is really hard to do. This put me at ease and although it is out of my way, this will be the clinic I go to for her. The staff is very helpful with Insurance information and very friendly. They are very patient and understanding as well. I didn't feel like I was being judged about my daughter's conditions at all. This is the place for kids with disabilities. Autism/non-verbal child with several sensitivities (light, touch, and noise)

Alexis Cuevas 2 years ago

Negative experience: Terrible place. They tell you your kid needs treatment but they have to wait until they can get someone to give the treatment. What's the point if supposedly being a surgery place also if you don't perform them? The dentist, Dr. Amir, makes you feel like you are a burden. Never going back to take my kid. Let me tell you this place is the worst. Do not bring in your children with special needs.

Negative experience: Yesterday my son was treated bad, by the woman who was doing the cleaning of his teeth. It was my son’s first time seating by himself and did a great job. By the end, he said he didn’t wanted more water and this woman was giving a bad attitude and didn’t have no patience with my son. She was making faces, and didn’t had the patience to finish in a good manner. Today, he was going to get his cavities filled, and my son didn’t drink the “juice” they gave him and now they were making comments to him that he didn’t behave and other comments that were not needed (like, “he needed to act more mature.”) They even said that the woman that did his cleaning yesterday put a note in the system saying that he misbehaved during the visit. It is not true, whatsoever. He behaved during the whole visit, didn’t cry or made a tantrum. Only because at the end he moved a little and said he didn’t wanted more water. He is only 4 YEARS OLD, not 13 years. IF YOU DON’T HAVE PATIENCE, DON’T WORK WITH KIDS!!!

Fantastic experience: It was a quick visit but they showed a lot of patience for my child. He is autistic and sometimes it's challenging to get him to cooperate with procedures. Very friendly. We will be coming again.

Fantastic experience: They made the visit smooth, easy, and as quick as possible for my 3 kids. Absolutely recommend. Their little goodie bags especially for the toddlers are amazing. Toddler bag came with 3 different toothbrushes for them to basically grow with and full size training toothpaste.

Fantastic experience: We are from out of town and our daughter had to have an emergency tooth removal. They got us in and did all the work in just a few hours. They are nice, professional and I felt very comfortable with everyone there. They gave me a list of everything that should be done but when I asked what needed to be done today so we could get her home they were very up front and honest. If we lived in El Paso, I would absolutely continue to take my kids here. We are all very grateful for them.

Negative experience: My son was sent here as a referral took almost 2 hours for dentist to see us. This is my sons 2nd time here he’s 5 years old. The dentist was so busy that he was rushing and running through patients and he saw my son for less than 3 min to say he has 6 cavities when we were sent there by our primary dentist with 3 fills in total. Then on top of that they didn’t have availability till 2 months from my initial exam. The waiting room was dirty looks like hasn’t been cleaned in awhile chairs were different colors but almost black . I asked my primary dentist for a new referral this was disgusting and the dentist just didn’t care. I’m there because my son is terrified already and when we left from there just not happy at all. I do not recommend this place at all.

I am disheartened after reading your review, and very sorry for your perception of our practice. We strive to provide the highest quality of care for our patients in a friendly atmosphere.

The waiting area, and the entire practice are cleaned and maintained numerous times a day. In addition, each patient’s room is cleaned and disinfected every single time a patient is seen. Since Google reviews does not have a feature to allow us to attach a photo in the response, I created another review with a photo of our lobby, as you had mentioned that you were disgusted by it, and the chairs were “almost black”. Colorful chairs were selected as we are a pediatric practice, and we thought this would provide a more joyous experience.

I have personally reviewed your child’s file again, and I am confident in the accuracy of the treatment plan that was presented to you. You mentioned that you were given an appointment 2 months after your initial exam, but based on my inquiry of our staff, you restricted appointments to only one day of the week. Therefore, our staff provided an appointment time to you based on the significant restriction that you had placed on your availability.

Many of our referring practices refer to us in order for us to examine the patient and provide our assessment and the required treatment, and it is not uncommon that the treatment changes based on new X-rays and examinations. We have no record of you waiting for 2 hours, but I certainly hope that you could find a practice that you are happy with.

Fantastic experience: I was referred here by a different dentist and I have to say I love it. They're so patient and kind and they explain everything. Wait was minimal and the office was clean. My son seemed so comfortable and happy, I would reccomend this dentist to anyone with children who are apprehensive about dentists. My 4 year old son is scared of the dentist, but I really think that they made him feel comfortable and actually happy to be there.

Alicia Cupit 2 years ago

Amanda Cooper 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter was only 17 months and going to her 1st visit. Everyone was extremely sweet and stopped to say hi to her. The dentist was super quick but thorough. I have 6 girls so I've been to an appt or 2. Already set appts for my other 4 8 year old just had a crown put on today. They allow parents to sit in exam room while the doctor works. The exam rooms have movies playing and they put alot of effort in taking care of their patients. The doctor is very quick and gentle, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My kids were one of Dr. Parcos first patients in El Paso. The office staff, dental staff and Doctors are amazing. My kids love going to their appointments because they don’t have that great fear. Best place to take your kiddos

Candace Havens 3 years ago

Negative experience: The staff are friendly, never had a problem with appointments but what made me decide to go elsewhere is when I asked a question to Dr. Amir for clarification. Dr. Amir and his assistant made me very uncomfortable and the look Dr. Amir gave me before responding made me regret asking at all which I should not feel when looking out for my child. My daughter had been seeing him close to 2 years at this point, Dr. Amor was always present. It is a Doctor's responsibility to educate the public regardless of their opinion of the question asked. His nonverbal reaction and behavior was upsetting and it was because I asked a question as a parent should. Also, the staff keeps billing the wrong insurance because they will not remove the old one from the account, keep seeing corrected claims and refund checks as a result.

Dear parent; I am sorry about how our conversation was perceived. We always try to provide a friendly atmosphere for all our patients and parents, and i am always available to answer any questions you may have. I, unfortunately, do not recall our conversation, and therefore cannot speak to the specifics of what may have occurred or what your question was, but my office manager has been notified and we would certainly love to gain back your trust. She would be available to speak with you at any time about this incident, should you wish to call our office.

Fantastic experience: We always have such a great experience here. We hardly ever have to wait (and when we do it's not long at all), the staff here is all very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: A fear of dentistry usually starts at a young age; this is why I’m so glad I found this office! Everyone from the front staff to assistants and the dentist is hands down excellent. They treat my child with such care and understanding. The dentist tells my child what he will do before he does it if your looking for a pediatric dentist look no further as this is the place to go!

Negative experience: I was cheduled for an 8 am appointment for my two children. They did not take me in until 8 45. I literally saw 10 children come in and out of the office. I thought it was odd but didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Keep in mind my children are 5 and 3 and one has autism. He was getting fidgety and was flustered by the time they finally cleaned his teeth. To top it off all the dentist did was brush their teeth for 1 minute . If that was the case I could have brushed their teeth myself. Later, I come to find out that my appointment was scheduled at 8 40 . Further, the automated text I received said 8 am. Just a terrible experience all around

The Croc Doc: Dentistry Just For Kids
The Croc Doc: Dentistry Just For Kids

We are sorry for your experience and confusion about the appointment time. We strive to provide the best possible care for our patients, and in cases of very young patients ( less than 3) or pediatric patients that are not cooperative, or are extremely scared, we do a toothbrush prophy. The main purpose of the quick prophy is to allow us to see inside the mouth to determine the presence of any cavity, any potential infection, intraoral cancer screening, and soft tissue examination. We do not force kids to sit through cleanings if they are not ready for it, as this tends to discourage them further from coming to the clinic and be cooperative for at least x-rays and intraoral examination, which in many cases are more important than the cleaning itself. Once patients become more comfortable with the experience, regular cleanings could be performed. In cases where medical history prohibits us from performing a thorough cleaning for older patients, option for hospital treatment would be available according to the patient's needs and evaluation. Dr.Amir
