Fantastic experience: Children and Teen Dental-Gardendale is a wonderful pediatric dental practice. The receptionist was very pleasant at check in and welcomed us with a smile. Sarah is a caring and patient hygienist. My son was ready to hop in her chair as soon as we got to the treatment area! My daughter, on the other hand, was not having it and was very scared but Dr. Smiley and her team were very patient with her and managed to apply the fluoride treatment with ease. Dr. Smiley is very personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable. She made sure to address any concerns that we had and always provides helpful tips to help us develop better brushing and flossing habits.

We will continue to drive from Madison, AL, for Dr. Smiley and all the wonderful staff at Children and Teen Dental-Gardendale!

Fantastic experience: Today was my children’s very first visit to the dentist. This place was beautiful and kid friendly the moment we walked in. The hygienist was warm and welcoming and took us back within 5 minutes. The Dentist was thorough and explained everything with clarity a child could understand.

Fantastic experience: Dr.Smiley was Awesome‼️ She answered all of my son’s questions, and was so patient. We have us a new dentist.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience. I’ve always taken my kids here. While getting my child’s two teeth pulled today I got a little lightheaded and the nurses brought me an apple juice and crackers. They are awesome! Dr. Smiley was great with my son as she talked to him through the whole process.
Fantastic experience: My son has been going here since he was little. We love it, everyone is so nice and they never have long waits. Awesome place. 10/10 recommend
Fantastic experience: This was our first visit here. I was blown away at how quickly it went by! It almost seemed not thorough enough, but it was, lol. I appreciated the dentist letting me view my daughter's teeth X-rays and explaining things/any concerns I had. The hygienist/tech was patient, friendly and understanding with my daughter's questions and nervousness. We saw a different dentist than who the appointment was made with, but no biggie. This was also the first time that I've been to a dentist where the patients are literally laying only feet from each other, in the same room, having stuff done; interesting setup. I would only recommend, just out of courtesy/privacy, to not be so loud when coming out to speak with the patients about what procedures they're having done & other details. Maybe do that behind the closed doors. :)
Fantastic experience: The staff at Children's and Teen dental is amazing. They let you know every single detail of what they are doing to your child on every visit. I highly recommend this dental place for your child's needs.
Thank you for the 5 stars, Kristal!
Fantastic experience: Very kid friendly, quick and easy. The staff along with Dr. Smiley are amazing!
Fantastic experience: We absolutely love Children and Teen Dental Gardendale. They’re fast, efficient, and my kids happily come to the dentist.
Fantastic experience: Great staff! Super friendly and really glad they have Fridays. May just need to edit their hours in Google to avoid confusion but with them texting and reaching out to you - you can assure they are open Glad I moved my kids to this dental office.
Fantastic experience: The staff and Dr Padma are all amazing! Anytime we have had any kind of dental emergency they work us in or they will ask for pictures to show the Dr and they stay available on text messages explaining what is going on etc. They are all so sweet and gentle. Kelsey up front always answers the phone when I have called and she is just amazing and so sweet! I am so glad I switched my boys over to this office. Thank you all for always being ontop of your job and being so welcoming!

They made us feel welcome and loved! My little boy who is 5 had some cavities that needed tending to. They took care of them today and we were still in and out in under 2 hours! I was so impressed with our visit today!
Fantastic experience: This was my son’s first time here and he loved it. I felt so great about the place as soon as I walked in. He said he can’t wait to return! Staff are friendly and doctor was AMAZING!!! She has a special gift with children and comforting them during their visit.

Fantastic experience: I can't stress enough how thankful I am for Children's and Teen's Dental! Dr. Padma Gulur was absolutely wonderful today, she worked fast and effectively to see what was causing my child so much pain and pointed us in the right direction. My daughter has been seen by this Dental practice for years, she loves the doctors there. she's not had one bad experience while being seen. They make her feel comfortable and make sure to address any concerns that she may have , whether she's having a cleaning or other dental work done. Thank you so much to all the staff for everything that you do!
Positive experience: We've been coming now for a while and have always been happy with our service / dentist. however my daughter was not happy with the dentist who cleaned her teeth she said she was very aggressive and hurt her teeth very badly which has never happened. I could tell she was aggressive when she approached me to tell me the results after she cleaned her teeth. If it's noted in our chart who we used today we will make sure we don't see her again next time. Other then this issue we love coming .
Fantastic experience: We had a pleasant experience here. They worked my son in as an emergency twice asap and had no issues. Everyone is very friendly and informative about what they are doing that day with your child.
Fantastic experience: Both my girls go here. Friendly staff and no crazy waiting room time. Service is great! And conveniently located by the Gardendale schools if you're local like us...
Fantastic experience: I love this place so much! I can’t even begin to explain just how wonderful they are with kids. They do their best to keep your kids comfortable. My daughter was very anxious about being at the dentist. She tried to jump out the chair every time a new instrument was introduced. They took their time to explain what the instrument was and used demonstrations. They were so patient with her and made her so comfortable. I also like how they have televisions for the kids to watch as they’re being worked on. I wouldn’t go any else for my kids. Not to mention how fast they get you in and out.
Fantastic experience: Today (04/26/2024) was my son’s first dental appointment he’s two years old and I couldn’t be more proud of him and the staff for how they handled the situation. Children and Teen in Gardendale is a great place if you want to have your little seen by dentist/staff who care and have patience to help make your little feel as comfortable as possible for their first time or at any point.
Fantastic experience: This was the best denist I have ever been to with children ! They are very kind and my kids dont like anyone that they think is a doctor or nurse but they wasnt scared at all here . They are very patient and understanding .
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this Dentist and office staff for your child's (adolescent's) dental care. My almost 8 yr old had been there from his first appointment. We truly love the inviting and welcoming office staff. Dr. Carol is a sweetheart!
