Children's Dentistry-Sanford

Best experience! Just left there today with my 2 year old son for his first check up! I was so nervous leading up to the appointment and now I’m not sure why! Everyone was so loving, patient, and friendly. They’re totally used to little ones, and don’t make you feel all anxious if your kiddo isn’t cooperating. They handled it all with such grace, and therefore my son was able to get a nice thorough check up with no tears! Thankful for them! We will be recommending this place to all!!

I was looking for a new dentist for my kids after moving to Maine. I wanted a pediatric dentist because one of my kids has unusually high anxiety about dentists. Both my kids were very anxious going into their first appointment, but the staff was wonderful- warm and welcoming. When one of my kids got extremely anxious (before they had even gotten into the chair), Chelsea walked them through every tool, every step, every product that would be used. When that didn't solve things, she offered to take him to another room and gave him some choices to let him feel more in control. Her attitude and patience made ALL the difference for him, and he was able to get through the appointment. Having been through a lot of really difficult appointments with him, this one was really great in comparison. I am so appreciative of their entire staff, and especially Chelsea.

I love Children's Dentistry!!! When we first started there, there were a few "rules" they had I didn't care for. Such as the one time we were 4 minutes late, because of traffic, there were no cars in the parking lot and they would not take us, even though we drive an hour each way to go there, but policies are policies! I was not happy about it, I wish they had bent the rules but their policies are there for a reason!!! You can guaranty we were never late again.
I have also taken my children to several places and looking into other places I realized how wonderful they are in comparison. The staff could be slightly friendlier but I understand that they are extremely busy.
I always want to go in with my child and he'd prefer to have me there, but with the laughing gas, I could not. He did great, and everything was fine. I realized I was being over cautious. And the staff did allow me to peek in, in between. I did have to bring another adult or get a sitter when I brought both the boys, another policy, but again for a good reason!
One of their newer doctors, male, does not fit the mold there, I thought he was a little rough, but Dr. Marc and his wife have always been amazing. The hygienists would let my son stand for his cleanings when he was younger because of his attention span. My other son was very antsy and the dentist was very stern and took control of the situation, which I thought was fabulous. I want my boys to know that if you don't brush your teeth, that is where you'll have to go to fix the problem and its not all rainbows and unicorns. And prizes are to reward good behavior!
I had to call on a weekend once, because of pain in my child's tooth and Dr. Marc answered the phone even though he was away on a vacation. I know they are a business but considering all things I could not be happier with them. More importantly my children love it there!

I was very skeptical of trying out Children's Dentistry based on having read previous reviews, however, after my first experience with a limited exam for my son, I chose to completely transfer all dental care for both of my children to this office. There are many aspects of the visit I could review favorably here, but the one that is most important to me is how my children were treated collectively by each member of the staff with whom we interacted. The office philosophy is to build rapport with the kids, while the parents/caregivers fade into the background and handle the "boring adult stuff." My children were treated as participants in their care as opposed to just having to listen while they were talked about.

My only concern about continuing care is the policy on missed appointments; that being said, I understand why it has been implemented.

We have been coming here for many years and my son has a great rapport with the doctors and staff. He had a very difficult time sitting still when he was young and the doctors were kind and understanding, despite the challenge of working in the mouth of a crying child. He is now a teenager and enjoys the banter with Dr Marc, who has been a strong advocate for my son's dental needs. I recommend them highly!

They were very accommodating by booking my kids with the same appointment time. Very friendly and encouraging to my 2yr old and 4yr old. Made it fun and leaving my kids with wanting to go home and brush! Also, great at talking to me about their teeth and how they are growing. Highly recommend!

We Adore Dr. Mark and his team! My Sensory/Adhd son adores going to the dentist due to the amazing patience they all have for him. My child hates brushing his teeth and they help give me tools and suggestions to help us help him to want to brush his teeth! Did you know they made chocolate toothpaste for kids 😳 well thanks to Dr Mark we have had more success with brushing! 🙌🏻 He even did a filling and my child behavior was better then at home 🤣
My other child adores the office! She also adores that Dr Mark and her Orthodontist are on the same page with treatment plans, and that they should be twins because they are silly and fun to be around!
The office during Covid has been amazing, clean and transparent every step of the way!

We high recommend this office!

We have been going here for years! From routine cleanings to receiving braces our experience has been nothing but superior! My children love going! The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly! I only wish they took adults too!

Dr.Mark has been our dentist and orthodontist for several years. He has done braces for 4 of our children and we are very pleased! He is easy to talk to and has a great rapport with the kids. We have no dental insurance and he is always willing to work out payments and avoid unnecessary x-rays. We highly recommend Children's Dentistry!

I am so grateful for Dr.Marc and his staff. He has been treating my children for years and we have always had amazing dental care, kind and supporting people taking care of all of my children's needs and their teeth. :)

My family loves coming to the dentist. Dr. Mark is so amazing with the kids. We always have the best experience and the kids get a special reward from the machines after the appointment. That's always exciting 😀

My daughter always had severe dental anxiety and has been coming here since ahe was 5. She is now 14 and does very well every time. They have always worked with her and been very patient with her. My 2 year old will be coming soon.

My kids have been coming here since they have been able to go to the dentist. The staff has always been pleasant. My boys enjoy Dr. Mark!
Pleased with the staff!

Awesome! Friendly and sweet staff. Rooms are decorated to put kids at ease. Always a positive experience for our five kids.
