There are three things that usually solicit a review to the internet. A bad visit, a really good one, or in this case one defending the reputation of oldest and most established Pediatric Dental offices in Montgomery. The Doctors, Hygienists, and front office are highly trained and go above and beyond to make the kids and parents feel at ease. This office is one of the only private office's that take private insurance and Medicaid that only pays a fraction of private insurance companies. I do not work for this office or any other dental office in Montgomery, but I do know most of them. The Medicaid need in this area is overwhelming and most parents have rely on corporate clinics to get healthcare. I can honestly say that most of the folks on Medicaid are good people, but some feel entitled to act like they are above the rules and logic of the civilized world. This office is a silver lining in a bleak reality. Montgomery is blessed with good several great Pediatric and Orthodontic providers and Dentists4Children is top on that list. read more

We absolutely love Dr Thornton. She genuinely cares about her patients and their well-being. Her staff is super friendly and seem to really enjoy being with and treating the children. All three of my children have enjoyed going to Dentists 4 Children and have never had a complaint with their care. When the office was closed due to COVID-19, they were very proactive about rescheduling my children's appointments and keeping in touch with me. Dr Thornton is honest with parents about recommending orthodontic care when it is needed. The UAB Orthodontic Clinic validated Dr Thornton's recommendations - one child was in desperate need of braces ASAP, one child should have them (though minor issues), and the other child could wait another year or two. We were very grateful for her recommendations; another local dentist had been pushing the two who didn't need braces as badly to get them and ignoring the needs of the child who did. Our family highly recommends Dr Thornton and Dentists 4 Children!!! read more

The best dentist for children ever!! Seriously-after all these years going there, my kids still love going to the dentist. They love the friendly and gentle staff, the relaxed environment, and Dr.Thornton is amazing. My kids have healthy bright smiles, and she is that woman that keeps them smiling. I am so confident in their abilities and service. Even our orthodontist says how great their teeth are. Dentists 4 Children is a great office of truly talented and caring people. I am so thankful my kids are learning to love the dentist and have enjoyed learning healthy gum and teeth habits early. I highly recommend this office, but only if you want a professional and friendly dentist office. read more

They are absolutely the best! We have been going to this office practically forever (almost 15 years), and we love it. The staff is very helpful and are always on top of things. With younger kids who are sometimes scared of the dentist, it is helpful to know that all of the hygienists are trained in this area and explain each step of their teeth cleaning, etc. so kids know exactly what is going on and why it is important that they are there. Getting the kids in before school is never an issue because the appoints are always quick and easy! Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a dentist office for the kiddos read more

We have been using them for many years. The people are super sweet (but won't cause cavities) with the kids. They are genuinely concerned about the kiddos and won't try to force unnecessary "up sales". We had tried other dentist when my daughter was young, but they all terrified her. She was comfortable with everyone here. She has now aged out and is having trouble finding an adult version of the care she has grown accustomed to. Overall, just a great bunch of people that care about the kids. Dr. Thornton is phenomenal. read more

And OMG with all the scary COVID stuff going on - her and her staff go ABOVE & BEYOND EVERYDAY to make sure they are providing the safest environment for your child to have their teeth cleaned.... JUST AMAZING IS ALL I CAN SAY read more

Best Dentist Ever!!! My kids have been using this office for years, and they actually love going to the dentist. No lie. The staff are so great, very kind and professional. But Dr. Thornton is amazing. Only a gifted dentist could make a child laugh while getting a tooth pulled, true story. At times I wish she treated adults too. Great office, but I only recommend it for those wanting great care and treatment and the best smiles for your kids. read more

This is a fantastic business and the people who left bad reviews are ignorant. If you think that they are racist maybe you should ask the black employees because if they are racist I'm sure that they wouldn't have a job. Get your head out of the sand. read more
