I am wondering if anyone knows of a caring, friendly, gentle pediatric dentist. My son needs some of his teeth to be filled. Can anyone in the area recommend a good dentist? Thanks!

Hi there! My kids really love Dr. Rachelle Shaw. They have never had any problems when they've needed fillings or teeth pulled. Also, Dr. Shaw only does tooth color fillings, not the fillings with mercury, which I think is important! She has a website: www.rachelleshaw.com
I hope this helps! Good luck with your search! :)

I used to take my kids, ages 6 & 9 to Just for Kids Detistry off of Coors and Seqouia but I started to take them to a family detist. I know him personally. He is My father in laws best friend. His Name is Dr Stephen Hubbert. His office is off of Wyoming and Candelaria. My nine year old has a lot of experience with fillings and crowns and when I asked him which detist was gentler with the shots and the drill he said that Dr Hubbert was. He said he felt comfy because when the Dr. gave him the shot he hardly felt it. I get my work done there too and he is indeed gentle. If you feel ANY discomfort he makes sure you get what you need to be comfortable. He's got a great chairside manner and I like it there also because the whole family can go for a cleaning and any dental work together. Dr Hubbert also takes medicaid as well as many other insurances.

Hi Barara,

My daughter goes to Dr. Stanley Hess. His office is on Wyomining.

He and his staff are awesome. They are very kind, relaxed and fun. My daughter has been going there since she was two and she recently had a tooth filled. It was a great experience. She is always excited to go to the dentist and see her friends (the staff) and to find her picture on the wall. They are also really good about explaining things to the kids as well as the parents. They will spend as much time with you as you need to feel comfortable and knowledgable. I highly recomend Dr. Hess and his staff.

I would say Dr. Spencer Taskar who is located in the Smiths Shopping Center at Paseo Del Norte & Golf Course. He has been a wonder with all 3 of my children and they absolutely love him.

We love Haight & LoPour on Jefferson. Their staff is very friendly and although we haven't taken our infant to see them yet, they were amazingly caring and sensitive when I had my wisdom teeth out, and we see happy children there every time we're in for check ups.

Dr. Hess on Osuna or Dr. Bastian on Indian School at Carlisle. Dr. Bastian is not pediatric, but they have done very well with my kids and they take lots of insurance.

Hi B., We go to Meckler Pediatric Dentistry. They are wonderful! Both my girls like them.

Oh, and if you go, I'd love for you to give them my name, I think they do something for referrals. :) Let me know if you go there and I'll message you my full name.
