We've been with this dentist office since the beginning and my kids are 3 and 5 now! We even moved out of Orange County but the care quality and professionalism is unmatched and I could not find anything comparable. Everyone from the front office to the dentist are incredible and my kids thoroughly enjoy coming here which is a win! I will gladly continue coming here with the kiddos read more

We had the BEST experience at Orange County Children's Dentistry today with my granddaughter! From the moment we walked in until the very end, everything was absolutely amazing. The front desk staff, Kelsey and Paige, were so welcoming, kind, and helpful. They made the check-in process easy and made us feel comfortable right away. The x-ray tech was wonderful patient, gentle, and great with kids. And the dentist was superb so caring, professional, and truly gifted at working with children. You can tell this office genuinely specializes in pediatric dentistry. They are loving, calm, and know exactly how to make children feel safe. I'm so thankful my daughter-in-law referred us here because this will definitely be our go-to dental office from now on. Highly recommend to any parent or grandparent 10/10 experience! read more

When my 1st kid needed to start going to the dentist, I found this hidden gem! Now it's been years since we first came here and we wouldn't change it! The people are super friendly and they really like kids (or they are good at acting like it lol). They are gentle to the shy ones (my 2nd kid was nervous at first but has now warmed up to them). I like coming here and my kids like coming here which is a huge plus because most kids don't like the dentist office. read more

Daisy and Dr Annie were amazing!!! My two-year-old toddler loved it here and was able to sit independently without being scared. They followed my son's lead and helped him feel welcome and a part of the experience. The team was kind and patient with him and made the entire time fun and welcoming! Thank you so much, and I am so excited to return for our next check-up! read more

Recently took my 2 girls to get their sealants and as always, Dr Ruiz and Daisy were so great with them from beginning to end. My oldest was nervous and squirmy, but they managed to distract her with fun guessing games and made sure she felt at ease. They took their time with her and let her take breaks in between each tooth to make sure she was comfortable. We didn't even need laughing gas because it was over before you know it! My girls always look forward to going here because everyone is so sweet to them, and they especially love picking out a toy at the end. This place has always been great, professional, and clean and that's why it is always booked up, but not overbooked because I never have to wait longer than 5 minutes. I will not take my kids anywhere else even if we move further away because this place is definitely worth the drive! read more

My wife takes the kids to here. So far we have had good experiences with bringing them to have their teeth checked out as well as cleaned. No issues with boys ages 4, 6, 8 read more

Orange County Children's Dentistry - Great service! Awesome staff and very helpful - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Orange, California

It was my 2 year old's first visit to dentist. He always fussed when it comes to going to any kind of doctor office and it was no different this time. Walking into the office with the aquarium decor and colors put him at ease. He enjoyed the waiting area with toys, books, and cartoons. The staff was super kid friendly. I appreciated how the assistant and dentist walked me through how they would perform the check up and cleaning. Yes my son cried a bit but the dentist and staff sang to him through process and it helped calm him down :) My sons favorite part... the toy treasure chest. When we got home my son said " I want to go to the dentist" read more

I am very disappointed with this office. My son and daughter is suppose to have their cleaning today at 4pm. The receptionist called this morning asking if we can come in at 320pm. I said we cannot as my kids will still be in practice. She proceeded to ask anytime earlier today because Dr. Ruiz is not feeling good and wants to go home early. I still could not come earlier but was uncomfortable with the amount of pushiness and the fact that the doctor was sick and seeing patients. I asked if we rescheduled would it be soon and she said no it would be months out. This was it for me. There was a prior incident before when I had a conflict and had to change my daughter's appointment but they did not have anything for months out. I wanted to keep my son and daughter together so took her to another practice so she can have her biannual cleaning and got back in schedule for the next time. I am so irritated that this was no fault of my own. I scheduled this months in advance knowing that I cannot cancel or reschedule with this office unless I wanted to wait another several months. But now Dr. Ruiz is sick (which I understand people get sick) but it is unfair that I will have to schedule months down the line. Not even in a reasonable amount of time. It's like I got booted to the end of the line after I had already prepared months in advance and it was not my fault. Needless to say we will be changing providers. read more

We've been coming to OC Children's dentistry for a couple of years now. My daughter has some sensory issues and the staff here is so polite, compassionate and understanding to her needs. This most recent visit has been our best yet! Dr Ruiz and Ms Brenda did a great job at keeping my daughter calm by singing songs. I love this place!! The office is always clean and tidy and has such a welcoming feel. Thank you OC Children's dentistry for making our visits a pleasant experience!! read more

We just love OC Children's Dentistry! It blows my mind that my kids LOOK FORWARD to going to the dentist. They have done such a great job of making it a fun, not at all scary experience. The whole staff is wonderful (our hygienist Olive was so friendly this latest visit), they have TVs on the ceiling with fun kids shows, books and toys in the clean waiting room; cool sunglasses to wear during the cleaning, a fun treasure box full of toys for the kids to pick from when they're done. My son had a couple procedures needed and they took great care of him. We'd been to a couple other pediatric dentists before finding this one that we were thrilled with. We will definitely keep coming back! read more

They are always so sweet and treat everyone with kindness and compassion. I love it here. All four of my kids come here for both dental and ortho care. They also have a awesome treasure chest of toys for kids to pick something out after. It's always a great incentive for my littles. Thanks read more

This is hands down the best place in Southern California to take your kids to the dentist. We've been coming here for a couple of years and have always had beyond fantastic experiences. The receptionist is the sweetest, and remembers us every time. The doctors are kind and patient, the hygienists are gentle and warm. Today my son saw Mari and she said he was the best two year old she's ever worked on. She was really great with him and did a wonderful job. Bella cleaned my daughter's teeth and was also wonderful. We have since moved from Orange County all the way to Temescal Valley, and we will gladly continue to drive an hour to the dentist for the kids to be seen at this office. 5/5 stars every time. read more

5 years later and we still love coming to OC Children's Dentistry! It great to see how much Dr. Ruiz's practice has expanded over these years but still remaining so intimate. We don't always see Dr. Ruiz anymore, we also have the pleasure of Dr. Lee's care. He is wonderful with both my 3 yo and my 8 yo. Every is fabulous really. I appreciate the technology they use to make updating forms before your appointment easy, which streamlines the process for the patient and the office. The kids get to pick a movie overhead to distract them but they also make sure the child, not just the parent, is consenting as they inspect and clean. They want5 years later and we still love coming to OC Children's Dentistry! It great to see how much Dr. Ruiz's practice has expanded over these years but still remaining so intimate. We live in West Anaheim, so it's a little drive but their worth it! We don't always see Dr. Ruiz anymore, we also have the pleasure of Dr. Lee's care. He is wonderful with both my 3 yo and my 8 yo. When my 8 yo needed a filling and molar caps, he pit him at ease and was able to get all 4 caps plus the fillings done in one session. Every is fabulous really. I appreciate the technology they use to make updating forms before your appointment easy, which streamlines the process for the patient and the office. The kids get to pick a movie overhead to distract them but they also make sure the child, not just the parent, is consenting as they inspect and clean. They want to ensure your child has a positive dental experience. This is so important as they grow into adults and become responsible for their own health in the future. The kids, of course, really enjoy the treasure chest. The girls are great at walking them over to the chest to pick a prize while I finish any questions or concerns with the Dr. Oh and when I checked in on Yelp, the last time, I forgot to claim the check in deal. It was free T-shirts! Daniel informed us if they where their shirts on the next visit, they get TWO prizes. My 8 yo tried to negotiate his 2nd prize now read more

We always have the best experience here! The staff is all so nice. We've had daisy every time and she is my favorite! She takes her time and is very patient with my daughter. Daisy explains everything she is doing and makes us both feel comfortable. read more

Dr Ruiz is awesome. We just moved to OC. I took my kids to another pediatric dentist here who claimed my 6 year old had 8 cavities that needed filled. My daughter had zero pain in her mouth which seemed unlikely for 8 cavities so I brought her to Dr Ruiz for a second opinion. Dr Ruiz said only two needed filled and the others were so small that we could monitor them. She said if we are diligent with brushing and flossing we might not have to ever fill them because they are baby teeth and will fall out eventually. I really appreciated the honesty. My daughter had her fillings done today by Dr Ruiz. I was nervous and my daughter was nervous but it went great. Dr Ruiz was so good with her and my daughter did amazing. On the drive home my daughter said, "When I grow up I'm going to be a dentist so I can tell kids that I had cavities when I was little and getting them fixed was easy!" It was super cute. I'm glad it went well and happy we found a great pediatric dentist for my kiddos. read more

Daisy is a really gentle and friendly dental assistant. My almost 2 year old had a great cleaning and return at this dentist office.

My daughter had a very bad experience at another dentist's office that traumatized her. I have suffered the consequences with her taking her to different dentist offices that I get recommended to. All I have to say is that she did not cry and she was very happy here at OC Chuldren's Dentistry. The staff was very nice and friendly right when we walked in the door. We will be coming here from now on! read more

Honestly the BEST treatment ever. I wish they would see adults too lol my kids loooove this place. Every single person here is AMAZING.

Thank you to everyone at Orange County Children's Dentistry! You all made Izaiah's 1st visit a success! Everyone we met was friendly and took great care of Izaiah. They showed him how to properly brush his teeth, as well as floss. The doctor was very detailed and addressed my concerns. The rooms are a big hit with a TV on the ceiling to distract the children when getting dental work. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend to everyone. read more

We are so happy we decided to take the kids here! Not only is their office super cute, the staff is extremely friendly & patient. My daughter has never done well with the teeth cleaning part but surprisingly she sat through it all by herself without an issue! We were seen right away upon arrival then to a cute brushing station where the kids were given brand new toothbrushes to brush their teeth before their exam. Each room is equipped with a television showing the movie of their choice while they were being examined. Following their exam, Dr. Ruiz gave them a short presentation on cavities aka "sugar bugs" which not only showed them but gave them an understanding of cavities and the affects on them. To end it all, the kids got to pick a prize from the treasure box! I highly recommend this place and Dr. Ruiz. From the atmosphere to the friendly staff, this office is by far the best we've ever been to. read more

Dr Ruiz and her staff are absolutely phenomenal! Beginning with scheduling our first appointment to following up after my daughters dental procedure! My first encounter was with DANIEL when I scheduled my appointment. He was patient and thorough while trying to check if they worked with my insurance. During my daughters first visit he helped with the scheduling of her 2nd appointment. Explained the payment I was going to make. Gave me the worst case scenario and best case scenario! He followed up to make sure my referral was approved and ALWAYS with a pleasant attitude! Second encounter was with MELISSA! She was super sweet, kind, and gentle. She made my daughter feel super comfortable and never once had a bad gesture on her face or showed annoyance at all. My daughter usually cries at least ONCE every dentist visit. NOT once did she cry while Melissa was with her. Third, Dr. RUIZ! You can tell she has a passion for what she does! She explains EVERY detail with you and makes sure you understand. She follows up and shows genuine interest! It's not just a transaction, it's a relationship she's building! It's amazing! Definitely recommending her to EVERYONE I know with kids! read more

She explained everything with detail and took the time to show my son how to properly floss and brush the areas of his teeth he had been missing. Overall this place is fantastic! read more

I have taken my two young kids here for the past few years, and am so glad we picked this office when my oldest was a toddler and I was searching for an affordable, great local children's dentistry. Everyone I've ever encountered on the phone or in person here is professional and friendly, the office is modern, super clean and welcoming to children - I wish I had a place like this when I was a kid! Everything is explained in an easy to understand manner, and I have never felt rushed or like any question was silly or "too much." My oldest had a very tough first three appointments (on his part as an anxious 2-3 year old - screaming, thrashing, etc.), but the staff was so reassuring and encouraging. He is now totally fine at appointments! We just had a double appointment the other day for both of my children, and our hygienist (Daisy) was so friendly and gentle with both kids, taking all my kindergarten-aged oldest kid's million questions in stride. I was dreading how my two-year-old would act this time (he had had two appointments at this point, the first appointment was around 18 months old), and he did not fuss even once - I know in large part, it is due to how reassuring and calm Daisy and Dr. Goodman were during the cleaning and examination. The very big treasure chest/prize box at the end of the appointment is also a great incentive for the kids! Highly recommend this office if you're looking for a pediatric dental office. read more
