Was late due to an accident I let them know and didn’t have any problems when I got there. They were nice and understanding. Office was super friendly and the doctor took time to sing and play the guitar to get my little one getting him more comfortable with him. The staff took time with him and made him feel comfortable and was able to get X-rays which was hard since my little one usually is shy and hyper. Doctor took time to explain thing (new mom) and made sure I understood and ask questions. Overall a very pleasant experience for a otherwise stressful time.

Our visit was very nice and pleasant. Dr. Bland played baby shark for my daugther and she suddenly calmed down. Staff was friendly. I also met Dr. Shahbazi who is married to Dr. Bland. She was very nice.

I would highly recommend Wiggly Tooth. My son is super scared to go to the dentist and he left laughing and smiling. Adriana was great and Dr Bland was equally as fantastic!!
January 24, 2022Elijah K.Verified patient
It was the first time my two year old had gone to the dentist and it was overall not as scary as I thought it would be and wish I would have taken her in sooner , the staff was kind and patient and so was the doctor.
