Suggestions for a dentist for my 3 yr old! Must have great bedside manner and works well with kids! Prefer someone here in town so I don't have to drive to Short Pump! ...

Our family really likes Dr Aldred. Everyone in the office is super nice. He has young kids himself so gets a lot of practice with them.

Dr. Hefele in Ashland. My kids have been to him for years and really like him.

Ashland Family Dentistry. Just took my 2 1/2 year old and they were amazing!!!!! They keep the same dental assistant every time so they get used to who works on them.

The hygenists and dentist at Dr. Rowe's right in town are very kid-friendly but no balloon animals or TVs (which I just think jacks up the price.) I believe the only difference between pediatric and "regular" dentists is they will not sedate children. I was not happy with Atkins and Maestrello b/c they told me my 3 yo had 10 cavities, which 2 other dentists couldn't prove or wouldn't fill. If you want bells and whistles, try them.

Thanks for your feed back. Looks like we're going to Dr. Rowe. Our insurance has very limited dentists and he's a participant. So we shall visit him tomorrow!

Sometimes it's worth a little drive. We didn't find Dr Rowe's worked well for our children. We found Dr Scott Freeman's office and love it. He is off Cox & Three Chopt just past Ross & Marshall's . Good luck in your search. The kids have to like their dentist because it sets the pace for the rest of their lives in the dentist chair.

Max Haley in Ashland. My kids are now grown but when they were little they used to argue who would get to go back first. I was terrified of my dentist when I was growing up. We love Max.

If Rowe doesn't work out, we go to Dr Nunnally in Glen Allen! He's great with the kids!
ISO a new dentist Kid friendly any suggestions greatly appreciated

My whole family goes to Dr. Rowe. He and the staff are kid-friendly (but no fancy balloons or TVs like some places--)

One goes to Dr. Rowe in Montpelier. The other to Dr. Kendig in Richmond near Henrico Doctors. Dr. Kendig is fantastic and good with dentist-averse kids. Sweetest man.
