So I don't like to write these kind of reviews but I am because it has to do with my kids. So I was…read moregoing to switch dentist because my son started having anxiety but it was really hard to get an appointment with a general dentist for a pediatric. So I asked them if they can book the appointment for my son to fill his cavities along with nitrous oxide because they had done it before. The receptionist was reluctant but she still booked it anyway. The day of appointment the female dentist approached my mother and snootily asked for us to book the appointment in the morning for next time. Like okayy, can we try to fill my son's cavities first. Then my mom spoke to my son and he agreed to listen to music and close his eyes while the needle came out and everything went smooth, no thanks to the dentist or staff. My complaint is that this is a PEDIATRIC dental office. Of course the kids may have anxieties when a needle come out. Instead they make snooty remarks and make it seem like my son is a difficult patient which is uncalled for. I've never experienced this with the dentist of the past that was here when we started coming about 10 years ago. It may be time to switch definitely since we're being treated like this

I was pleasantly pleased with my experience here. I found them through my dental insurance website…read more I was delighted to find a dentist that specializes in kids dentistry nearby! The customer service I received before I got there was great. They communicated with me about any issues and to confirm my appointment. When I got their. My kids loved the lobby which had toys and was very kid friendly. The ladies at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful as well. My kids loved their dentist visit. They've been to the dentist before just as a side note and they're 4 year old twins. My daughter loves her Disney Frozen sunglasses she got to sit in the chair with and the hygienist Tracy was fabulous very good with kids and great personality. She enjoyed the whole experience especially getting the good bag at the end with a toothbrush and toothpaste and tattoo. My son had a similar experience he got a Disney Lighting McQueen sunglasses. He got all of questions answered and he came out if the chair with no cavities! He loved getting his goodie bag too. They great thing is now my kids love brushing their teeth even more and ask me to floss for them! I'm looking forward to my next visit here since my kids had fun !

Admittedly, I don't have any experience with other pediatric dentists. So I can't say how they…read morestack up to anyone else. All I know is that BHPD has been an excellent spot for us to care for our kids' teeth thus far. We've had three different types of experiences to date: 1. Regular checkups/cleanings. These have gone very smoothly. The folks at the front desk are cool. The dentists/hygienists are gentle, good with my girls, and most importantly, efficient. They understand that they've got to get in and get out, because there's only so long a kid can stand it. We do both of my kids back to back, and I think we were in and out this last time in less than 45 minutes. Plus, they give us a goodie bag, which is by far my kids' favorite part. 2. Tongue Ties. My younger daughter was born with tongue ties on the bottom and the top, which made breastfeeding a problem. Our pediatrician recommended we have a dentist essentially cut through them with a laser. This was a terrible experience because your poor baby has no idea what's happening, and has a pretty gnarly wound in her mouth for a while...but I think they handled it as well as it can be. 3. Tooth problems. One of my daughter's teeth turned grayish. Not something I've ever seen before, and I called the office, and then e-mailed pictures to the address they gave me. Within 24 hours, they wrote back with a detailed response about what it could be, why it may have happened, and what we should do about it. I appreciated the thorough and quick response, and it makes me pretty confident in their service. All in all, we're pleased with this place, and plan to keep using them as our dentist.

The dentist seemed professional and handled the child with care! However, the waiting time was quite long even though we had an appointment.

The only downside is, they don't do cleanings here for adults, but did provide a recommendation as I needed a new dentist.

My kiddo fell and chipped one of his front teeth. It is a small chip, but it did expose a tiny bit of nerve. The dentist at BiteSize examined him (he cried throughout the entire exam) and told us he would lose the tooth, full stop. She told us she could pull it that day, or in a few weeks, but that there was no hope for the tooth. We decided to wait a bit before having it pulled. We were devastated (our baby!!). After leaving the office, I felt unsettled and decided it was worth getting a second opinion. The dentist at the second practice (also in Park Slope) went above and beyond to care for my toddler and for us as parents. When I first contacted her, she was on vacation, but she responded to my voicemail within an hour and asked me to text her photos of the tooth so she could gauge how serious it was from afar. After looking at the photos, she told us there was hope, and to hold off on any intervention until she could examine him. She also connected us to an emergency pediatric dentist in town, in case our kid stopped eating during the week she was away. He continued eating like normal and didn't exhibit pain that was out-of-the-ordinary directly after a fall. We saw our new dentist the day she was back from vacation. She examined the tooth and had our kid GIGGLING in the dentist chair! He didn't shed a single tear. She talked with him directly and let him use her dentist tools to give me an "exam". She was so patient and made him feel comfortable and at ease through the entire visit. At the end, she told us to wait it out, and that kids have an incredible ability to heal themselves. And here we are...5 months and one follow-up visit later....with a smile full of teeth! He didn't need to get it pulled in the end. We can no longer see the nerve, and his tooth didn't even discolor as the dentist at BiteSize explained it would. I would seriously caution against BiteSize if you are searching for a low-intervention approach to dentistry. If we had stuck with them, he would have had yet another traumatic visit to the dentist and would have lost his front tooth for years. Always trust your gut and get a second opinion.

Imagine a pediatric dental office that cares more about policy and profits than their young…read morepatients. Apparently, that's Bitesize Pediatric Dentistry. I was referred here by my family dentist who, after examining my 5-year-old daughter and finding a cavity, referred me here since they don't have pediatric anesthetics. According to their website, Bitesize is open on Saturdays from 9am-2pm; but when I called to make an appointment last Saturday I got a recording that says it's only open Monday - Friday. Aside from posting inaccurate information, when I finally get through this morning and explain the situation, I'm told my daughter would need a "consultation" first, and that they couldn't guarantee they'd be able to treat her the same day. I explained that my daughter is very anxious about going to the doctor, so I was hoping to avoid making two visits to spare her (and me) the stressful experience. The gentleman who answered put me on hold to inquire only to come back several minutes later and convey that it was their "policy" to have a consultation first since she was a new patient. It went from not being able to guarantee treatment on the same day as a consultation to refusing to treat her without this futile consultation. My daughter was seen by a board certified dentist who determined she had a cavity. It's not like I called with a subjective belief that she might have a cavity, nor is this major dental surgery. Bitesize could've just as easily requested the doctor's scans or a written referral detailing the findings just like with any other referral, which is pretty common practice in the medical field; but I guess not at Bitesize who likely has this "policy" so it can double bill me and/or my insurance rather than accommodate a little girl who's terrified of doctors. I'll be sure to let my dentist know they should think twice before referring anyone else there!
