Don’t take our word for it — here’s what our patients and community say:

 

Best dentist we have ever been to.
As an adult, I was scared and hesitant to see the dentist because of a childhood bad experience, but the dentist made me feel extremely comfortable. The cleaning that I got done was more than amazing.

My daughter was also seen and loved it. The ladies in the front desk were warm and kind. Anyone who needs a dentist, I will be recommending them this office!

Perinatal Mom

 

I love this place.
Staff friendly, very caring. They explain everything especially to younger children.

Dentists are fabulous with the kids.
All children brush their teeth before being seen.
Stick closely to appt times.

Room for children to play.

Routine Patient

 

I never knew a place existed.
I heard about KinderSmile through my kids school.

KinderSmile is clean, polite, professional. The staff made my 5 year old son feel extra comfortable. I could tell he was nervous but they made him laugh and relax.
The timing for an appointment was amazing. The doctor gave me same good tips while I was there and I’ll be bringing my 2 year old soon.

School Connection

 

I brought my daughter in on an emergency basis for a chipped tooth. I can’t emphasize how pleased I was.

Needless to say, this is now the dentist for both of my daughters. Very clean, very nice, and super professional.
Happy to say, my little one walked out excited about going back!

Emergency Appointment

 

I am grateful for the opportunity and impact KinderSmile Foundation has had on me. The internship has strengthened my determination to become a dentist. I’ve never learned as much shadowing anywhere else than when I was with KSF. I honestly cannot thank them enough for their warmth, knowledge and professionalism. It was such a joy to come and work with such phenomenal women everyday.

Because of KinderSmile Foundation’s efforts, over 185 children at the Boys & Girls Club of Clifton now know how to properly brush their teeth. Monique did an outstanding job and has a great smile. We appreciate your efforts to increase access to oral health care for underserved children. Thank you. #bgcclifton

Boys and Girls Club of Clifton

 

We had the honor of hearing Dr.Nicole’s testimony and
the revelation to begin KinderSmile. Her passion for providing accessible dental care to her community was tangible and inspired us to want to become dental providers that would also be able to give back in abundance. We admired her courage to share such life-defining moments with us.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to volunteer and be apart of this wonderful organization. This experience has been an integral part of my growth as a future healthcare professional. From the first day, I was welcomed and felt like a valuable member of the team. I have learned so much along the way. It means the world to know I have so much support which motivates me to continue on this journey. Truly a rewarding experience.
