Pre-COVID, at just over a year old, we brought my son to a (different) dentist who was very aggressive with my sons teeth. It was his first time at the dentist and they strapped him down to scrape some plaque off his teeth. He was being held down by a tech. Needless to say, both my husband and son were a bit traumatized. So I decided for his next experience we needed something very different. AND WOW. Dr Cole and her staff were simply incredible with him. From the moment they opened the door, my son knew nothing but kindness. They took it slow, showed him every piece of equipment, and let him touch it. While he was still quite nervous, there were no tears and no meltdowns. Every staff member knew the names of all his favorite tv characters and talked him through each thing, using the cartoons as gateways to trust and good ol fashion diversion. I will never take him anywhere else. What a treasure our community has in Dr. D'Audra Cole and her office!

She waited 30mins to be seen once she was called back. Needless to say, my son would've also been sitting around the back waiting and I would've been there by the time anyone would've worked on him. Not to mention, I have waited longer in the waiting room because they have run late themselves in the past.

Please do not trust Dr Mansmann with your children. Especially if you have MD Healthy Smiles…read more I took my son to this place when he was 6. Dr Mansmann recommended 3 pediatric root canals on baby teeth. I went to literally 3 other dentists for 2nd opinion who all said this was not a good option for baby teeth, too risky for not much gain since they would come out shortly anythow. So I declined and sought dentristy help elsewhere. Dr Mansmann then decided to report me to DSS and we had to go through that whole investigation. (dismissed, of course). Pediatric dental of Frederick put a cap on the worst of the teeth and he was fine until they came out. I cannot believe this place is still in business, taking advantage of children's dental needs.

My four year olds love going and actually get excited before an appointment now. So much so that after our last appointment, my daughter told me she wanted to be a dentist when she grows up. :) They are very accommodating and the office vibe is so friendly and warm.

The office environment and the thoughtful setup are super appreciated. There are plenty of spaced out waiting areas, and a little nook with a TV playing kids movies. They also have TVs mounted overhead above the seats to keep kids entertained while they do their cleaning. They provide the kids a token at the end of the visit to claim a prize from a toy vending machine. Staff are great with kids, full of tricks and methods to help your child ease through the visit. I also appreciated the extra attention for first time patients, as they showed us around and explained how the visit works. 100000% recommend them!

It's designed to appeal to children and all of the staff help make it as pleasant as it can be. Even though we are planning to move out of the area we will be still coming back here.

First, Dr. Khurana and her team developed and implemented a treatment plan for my 4 year old son who needed extensive dental work. We probably consulted with five dentists and she was the only one that offered a plan we felt comfortable with. She talked us through everything before and after the procedure which took place in a hospital setting under anesthesia, making us feel like our son was extremely well cared for in this unsettling situation. Their hospital coordinator Britnee was also fantastic to work with and helped answer numerous questions we had. Separately, Dr Nirali and her assistant Jordan have performed two fillings for my seven year old daughter. They are so incredibly good with kids and skilled at what they do that my daughter actually said getting fillings there was FUN and she didn't experience any pain on either occasion. When I told her she would be all done fillings after the second visit she was DISAPPOINTED. That is not a thing! I really can't say enough good things about this dental practice. If you have kids, and especially if they are apprehensive about dental procedures, take them here.

They give the children tokens at the end of each visit to use in the vending machines that contain little toys (bouncy balls, mini puppies, balloons, erasers, etc.). The providers are so great with children and they are very careful in the way they do things to not cause any trauma. My 6-year-old had to get a crown and two fillings during 3 separate appointments and he was so excited every time I'd tell him, "you have the dentist today." My 4-year-old second born is a bit stubborn and the dental hygienist was fantastic with him and he did so well at his cleaning. I have a lot of dental anxiety from trauma that I experienced when I was a child and I sincerely wish that a place like this existed in the 80s because it would have saved me so much pain and turmoil. I am thrilled that I can give my children a healthy and happy experience with the dentist so that they don't have to experience what I did. Highly recommend.

I'm not gonna lie, my visit did not start off on the best foot. I had an appointment for 8:20 AM…read moreand wasn't taken back until 8:45. I was not informed what the delay was. The hygienist Rae (?), was AMAZING. She was super friendly. She took a full set of x-rays since I was a new patient and then gave me a pair of sunglasses to put on before she started my cleaning. They had numerous flavor options for the polishing paste. I was offered cherry, vanilla, mint and cookie dough. She checked on my comfort numerous times while she was working and was very thorough. There is a large flat-screen TV hanging high in front of the chair so you can watch TV while they work on your teeth. Once she completed the cleaning, Dr. Thackenkary came in to do the final examination. He did a complete oral cancer screen and checked the condition of my jaw, teeth and bite. He also explained about the pH of my saliva and how it helped to prevent cavities, which was interesting. He did not try to "sell" me anything else, like tooth whitening. Every other dentist I've been to has always tried to get me to pay for something else. Dr. Thackenkary advised me to come back in 6 months for my next routine visit and gave me a goodie bag with a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and mouthwash. Neither Dr. Thackenkary or Rae were condescending or rude. I've been to some dentists who get a bit nasty when they are telling you about your teeth and if there is any plaque or anything. Not these two! Rae just explained how to better floss my bottom molars to help prevent buildup in the future. Overall, I was extremely pleased with my visit. Friendly staff and straightforward dental care. I highly recommend others visit Opal Ridge Dental for their dental needs. You'll be pleased.
