I think this is one of the FEW medical offices in my life that I have yet to have a billing problem with after years of service, and that's a pretty awesome accomplishment in itself.

She explained all the tools to the kiddos and even walked them through as she was performing work. She put bluey on for both kiddos and it definitely helped. Our older child had to perform xrays.

I'm so happy to recommend Dr. Murphy (born and raised in Reno) and his staff to anyone seeking pediatric dentistry care. You can expect to get friendly, knowledgeable, and genuine service when you visit Mt. Rose pediatric dentistry. When I bring my kids here, I have comfort in knowing that they and their teeth will be treated with care and that they're establishing healthy habits to help create a happy mouth and happy life. I've been taking my three littles here every since they were babies. The first dental visit is recommended as soon as their teeth start coming in, generally at 12 months, so the child can become familiar with the process early on. My children are now 4, 6, and 8 years old. The office has a cute bear/forest theme throughout and I love knowing that thought went into making a comfortable, fun, and inviting environment for the children. Dr. Murphy has been and to answer my millions of questions throughout the year and has the experience to handle any situation. I'm happy that we stumbled across him and his wonderful and caring staff and wouldn't go anywhere else for our pediatric dentistry care. Notes *They take all insurance and are currently taking new patients. *Dr. Murphy's staff is great at sending out appointment reminders. Appointments are 6 months apart. They also give out reminders over the phone. *You can find the office next to Mt. Rose highway close to Raley's shopping center. *They send each child home with a care kit after each appointment, including a tooth brush, floss, toothpaste, and sticker. *They have a TV in the waiting room and on the ceilings above their chairs to keep the children entertained while they get their teeth cleaned. They get the kid's teeth cleaned so fast and always talk to my kids so the TV isn't an issue for me since I'm a little to no screen time kind of mom. *They start taking X-Rays when children are old and mature enough around 2 or 3 years of age. *For children with cavities, they have a new treatment called silver diamine that the apply directly on a dry tooth. It turns the decayed part of the tooth black. This is to prevent any further spreading of decay and serves as an alternative to fillings. *Dr. Murhpy taught me that decay happens mainly in patients that consume foods with sugar and let it sit for long periods of time. The bacteria in our mouths feasts on sugar and their waste is what damages our enamel (the outer coating of our teeth). If you're planning on diluting juice, think of how long it will take your child to finish their drink. Their teeth will be exposed to sugar for longer periods. Bottom line: Get those teeth cleaned asap, especially after eating sugary processed foods.

First time I can recall having a good experience at the dentist!…read more At other dental offices, it was always the same problem - they didn't listen, aggressively pushed procedures on me I didn't want, and the results were mediocre, at best. As a child, it was traumatizing. As an adult, it was frustrating, and painful. Dr. Alford, and his staff, provide an entirely different and welcoming approach. When I told the hygienist I wanted minimal polishing paste for the cleaning, there was no pushback, just a simple agreement, professional, no drama. When I mentioned that I did not want ultrasonic cleaning as it was very painful, I was told they already noted that in my chart, and the subject was immediately dropped without pushback. That was a first! Not only that, between the hygienist and Dr. Alford, my cleaning was so thorough that afterwards I couldn't feel any rough spots from my problem areas that get a lot of tartar! My teeth are also whiter than they've been in years. I'm still kind of amazed, because I'm used to LONG sessions, and having to live with sandy areas because that was "The best they could do without the ultrasonic." I am super grateful to finally have a competent dentist to go to where I feel comfortable, safe, and my concerns and wishes matter. Dr. Alford is easy to talk to and put me right at ease, as did his hygienist. I don't know if it's because this is a pediatric specialty office, but the entire staff is naturally kind and considerate. It definitely takes a lot of empathy and patience to work with kids! Whether you're a nervous adult, or want to ensure your kids are in good hands, I highly recommend Alford Pediatric & General Dentistry for your whole family.

They truly deserve their five star rating. No one likes or enjoys the dentist, so when you see one…read morewith five stars, you know it means something. My five year old daughter developed a pimple-looking bump on her gum. I used our dental insurance's website to find a local dentist and was pleasantly surprised when these guys said they could get us in the same week. We met first with the hygienist for X-rays and a cleaning. Then Dr. Jackie came in. She was nothing short of amazing. She was soooo good with my daughter and made sure she was comfortable the whole time. Unfortunately, an extraction and a few caps are in our future. But Dr. Jackie explained it all so well and even gave us the option of an alternative to the normal novocaine shot and drilling. We are scheduled in a few weeks to have the work done. I feel at ease knowing Dr. Jackie is at the wheel

After being at this office for over 5 years it's time to move on…read more The office has zero consistency with staff or Dr. We showed up to our apt today and the entire staff is new and so is the Dr. (also they rescheduled us without asking) Worst visit ever! The "hygienist" have zero clue what they are doing and need to be trained again. My kids have never have their mouths bleed at an apt before. Todays was a total Blood bath and they both told me in hurt a lot. But the hygienist blamed my kids. Now let's talk about the Dr. with her "picture" ploy to fake dental needs. Staining on teeth does not need a sealant. And she 100% didn't show the X-ray as it would've showed no issue. We will never be back.
