    Zoe and Dr Dipaolo on her birthday!
    Plant Based Princess X.

    Dr. Dipaolo is spectacular! My 7 year old daughter appreciates her gentle touch and caring demeanor so much that she even named her bear after her As a parent, I love the thorough explanations, professionalism, and her outstanding skill in performing procedures. The front office/receptionists are very sharp! They always have treatment plans ready upon arrival and know how to handle insurance. We love the team! and the positive experience we have every time we come in for my daughter's appointment. Keep up the great work Local Smile Co!

    The visit was just a delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by smiling faces and and felt welcomed. Dr. DiPaolo did a great job and their laser technology makes procedures painless and easy. The level of care and attention given made the experience totally stress-free.

    Dr. Gamble and her amazing staff are professional, warm, and simply fantastic! Every kid deserves a dental team like this!

    Do yourself a favor and take your children to Dr Gamble! My 3 year old daughter just had her first appt. Upon entering the office i was nervous, seeing as i wrestle to brush my daughters teeth morning and night! However, all of the staff members here immediately made the experience fabulous. The office is bright and has a very happy energy. Dr Gamble and her assistant were so caring, whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism. They spoke directly to my daughter and knew all the tricks to keep her calm & comfortable. I was so impressed during the entire appt. They really made it an enjoyable dental experience for my daughter and I!

    Hugs after his 2 front teeth are removed.

Upon arrival, we followed the office's request to call first, and we were welcomed in right away. The nurses and doctors were ready for us, and the entire visit took less than 30 minutes. Scheduling the next appointment was just as smooth--the receptionist was wonderful, and we even shared a good laugh over something silly I said. She promptly sent over the new patient documentation, which, while tedious, is a standard step at any office. The facility is bright, clean, and inviting. My little one was especially fascinated by the fish tank in the lobby, which made waiting a breeze. The staff was incredibly patient and interactive--exactly what you need for a toddler's first dental experience. The dentist was very informative and even taught me things I didn't know, like the importance of flossing for a two-year-old. As a first-time parent, I truly appreciated the guidance. Most importantly, my child left happy! We'll be back in six months for our next visit. When you find a great office, you have to share--so I highly recommend checking them out!

    My wife found Milk Tooth, so credit where it's due. I was the skeptical one. Our previous pediatric…read moredentist had all the usual five star credentials, so when she told me she'd found somewhere better, I did what any rational husband does when confronted with suspicious optimism, I sent one of the kids in first. Consider the experiment concluded. We've been back enough times now that this isn't first visit enthusiasm. Milk Tooth is simply excellent. And the reason isn't some expensive mural, a television hanging from the ceiling or a treasure box strategically deployed after somebody survives a cleaning. It's the people. Every single person we've dealt with has been genuinely kind. Not customer service kind. Not scripted cheerful. Not the slightly terrifying pediatric office version of enthusiasm where everybody speaks three octaves too high because a child has entered the building. They're just warm, patient human beings who seem to enjoy being around kids. That distinction matters. My children are two and four. At that age, you can build the most beautiful dental office in California and they still reserve the right to decide the entire enterprise is bullshit within about eleven seconds. Milk Tooth understands this. The experience begins before anyone gets near a tooth. There are things to play with. The rooms feel comfortable rather than clinical. Nobody seems irritated when a child needs another minute. Nobody treats the parent like luggage that came attached to the patient. Even when the place is busy, it never feels chaotic. They gave me the full tour even though my wife had already been there, which I appreciated more than I probably should have. Then somebody asked me if I want coffee or tea and at that point I thought these people understand the assignment. Because pediatric dentistry is partly dentistry and partly hospitality. You're not simply cleaning a tiny set of teeth. You're introducing a human being to an institution they may have to visit for the next eighty years. Screw up the beginning badly enough and somebody spends half their adulthood white knuckling an armrest every six months. Get the beginning right and the dentist becomes wonderfully boring. Milk Tooth gets the beginning right. The staff explains things. They give the kids room. They somehow manage to be playful without turning the whole thing into a circus. The environment is thoughtful without feeling designed by a committee that googled "what do children like?" And watching my kids become comfortable there has been the thing that sold me. I'm stingy with five stars because five stars should mean something. It should mean I'd recommend a place without inserting some annoying little disclaimer afterward. No disclaimer here. My wife was right. I love this place.

My son has struggled for years to tolerate dental cleanings and X-rays due to sensory sensitivity related to Sensory Processing Disorder and ASD. We've been to three different practices and tried lots of desensitization strategies to help him better tolerate cleanings. In one session, he was able to tolerate a full cleaning AND get X-rays. The team was incredibly patient, flexible, and willing to meet my son where he was at. They provided sunglasses, headphones, fidgets, and even let him take the X-rays from the dentist chair when he began to feel overwhelmed in the xray room.

I truly appreciate how everything is explained to me in detail, from the procedures to the insurance coverage. They always break down what's covered and what will be out-of-pocket before I even have to ask, which shows how thoughtful and transparent they are with their patients. The whole team is professional and compassionate, and I'm so grateful for the care they've given my family over the years. We are very satisfied with their service and highly recommend them to any parents looking for a dental office that truly puts kids and families first.

    My review is simply based on my interactions while trying to make appointments for my two children…read more I called right when the office opened because I was trying to work around my schedule. I introduced myself and let the receptionist know I wanted to schedule appointments for my kids. Before I could even really get into the conversation, she let out this huge sigh like I was bothering her just by calling. It honestly caught me off guard. She immediately told me that if I didn't have my insurance cards, I couldn't make an appointment and would have to call back. I completely understand needing insurance information, but at least get my information first before immediately going negative. I work in customer service, so I know how much first impressions matter, and this interaction just wasn't it. On top of that, there were kids screaming in the background during the entire call. Between the chaos and the receptionist's attitude, the whole interaction just felt off. The energy wasn't welcoming, and as a mom, I pay attention to things like that when choosing who will care for my children. Thankfully, I trusted my discernment and kept looking. I ended up finding an amazing pediatric dentist with incredible energy, and from the very first phone call, the experience was night and day. When I called back today to cancel my appointments, I politely explained why. Instead of acknowledging my concerns or apologizing for my experience, the receptionist simply said, "Your appointments are canceled." That was the end of the conversation. Again, this review isn't about the dentists because my children were never seen. It's simply about the customer service and first impression. If you're someone who values good energy, kindness, and feeling comfortable with the people caring for your children, I'd definitely pay attention to those first interactions.
