Looking for Dentist for My Kids

I have two children 6 and 4, who I need to find a dentist for. We tried a pediatric dentist in town (Tucson) who was horrible, so I need to find a new dentist. I'm looking for a dentist that is patient with the kids. My 6 year old is very hesitant to go back to the dentist because he had such a bad experience. Any suggestions for dentists that are really great with kids?

What can I do next?

I love Dr. Matt Stratman and his team at Stratman Family Dentistry (they're on Wilmot, just south of Speedway: ###-###-####). My kids are 3 and almost 5; they've been to him twice and we're coming up on our 3rd appointment. The hygentists are very patient; even though my kids have been there before, they are still hestitant at first and they go through their routine of making them comfortable. They seems very genuine with their patience. It's a family practice, so my husband and I go there as well. I make my appointment and the kids all on the same day. I go first and then the kids, it seems to make them a little more comfortable to see mom go through it. Good luck!!

Dr. Micheal Wexler on Tanque Verde just east of Sabino Canyon rd. Our 5yr old daughter is a cancer survivor and has many many issues about doctors & procedures. He is a super patient doctor and his entire office staff are amazing!

Hi L..

We're in Tucson too, and we have a kind and gentle family practice dentist. He is also a family man with lots of daughters, so had been around kids. My now five year old, though she watched her big sister at the dentist for her whole life (early exposure we felt was good). was naturally wary, but he was just great with her too.

His office is up by Foothills Mall, but well worth the drive.
