Does anyone know of a good dentist for children? I want some one who is very nice and patient with kids. I have to boys 4 and 2 who are in need of a check up. Does anyone recommend a good one in the chicago area?. Perferably woman.
My whole family goes to Andersonville Dental on Foster and Paulina in Chicago. Dr. Anita Shahin is very sweet and patient and gives goodies on the way out! My daughter loves going to the dentist - really.
We go to Dr. Davis and Dr. Engert in downtown Park Ridge. They are husband and wife. You would want Dr. Engert. I have been going there forever and have been very happy.

Not sure where you are looking for but we go to Dr. Joseph Roggi in Jefferson Park on Higgins near Nagle. Obviously he's a guy, but he does have a female hygenist. Both are very gentle and both of my kids love them!

My daughter and I both go to the same dentist. She is wonderful!!! Very good with kids and a genuinely nice friendly person. I actually enjoy going to the dentist! My daughter is three years old and Dr. Izzo spends time first just letting her play with the chair, showing her the tools, etc. There is a waiting room with a toy area in the corner and the office is obviously child friendly. On one particular occasion, I called to change my appt for myself because I did not have a sitter. The secretary told me to bring her along and spent my dental appt playing with her and letting her color behind the desk. I can't say enough about them. Dr. Izzo is located on Cumberland between Lawrence and Montrose on the NW side of Chicago. Actually, I think her office is considered Norridge but the other side of the street is Chicago. Best of Luck!

I'm not sure where you live, but I hate the dentist and like you searched for the perfect one for my 3 y.o. and found her. Dr. Denise McAllister in Park Ridge is awesome with the kids and stays on schedule. My son actually likes going to the dentist - no fears! Good luck in your search.
My dentist is AMAZING!
North Ave Dental Care in Elmwood Park. Dr Kathy Meyer. She is wonderful with kids she has later hours and she is open I think twice a month on Saturdays.
We go to Toothfairy World on Clybourn. Both docs are women--we usually see Dr. Vitiello, but both are very nice. The second Dr.'s name escapes me at the moment. They are fast and completely geared toward kids. Here's their number:###-###-####.
several of my clients use Mary Hays DDS in the downtown chicago area (the Neimen Marcus building)and love her.

We go to Tooth Fairy World in Hyde Park. The dentist is a female and was great with my boys.
I have 3 children and have been taking them to the Children’s Dentistry in Forest Park. My kids actually like going to the dentist. It's definetly kid friendly.
Here's a link to their website.

Lynch Dental in River forest and down town Chicago. They are a family of brother and sister dentists 2 girls 1 guy. They are all very soft kind spoken, patient and very good! We've been patients for quite a few years and all of our kids go there.

She is really great with the kids!
Ditto to the recommendation for Dr. Mary Tierney given below. She's really nice and she was recommended by our pediatrician.
Dr. Cannon in north of Wheeling in Round Lake maybe? (north on 83 till Robert Crown Dr.) Suite 308
He is with Associated Dentists and he is great with children and specializes in special needs pediatrics.
If you don't mind a family dentist, we love Dr. Mark Mc Guire, DDS who is in Downers Grove right off of Ogden Ave/83 around by the Trader Joes! He is phenomenal with children and is a great single parent.
Hope you find what will work with your family!

it's funny that you posted this today. i was at gymboree w/ my little one for music and free play and she face-planted off a mat (clearly onto a hard surface!) and was bleeding from her mouth and more than a little upset by all of this. one of the moms from our music class walks up to me and says, "i'm a pediatric dentist. do you want me to look at her?" uh, yes! and how perfect?! she's very sweet and patient with her little one and was so nice to mine yesterday!
here's her info:

good luck!
I would highly recommend Dr. William McElroy in Bloomingdale. He is a pediatric dentist. He is right by Stratford Mall. I started using him when my son was 2 and my 17 year old now still goes to him. He does have a woman in his practice - Dr. Campbell. Their phone number is ###-###-####. My pediatrician was so impressed with him - he or his wife would drive from the North Shore to Bloomingdale to visit Dr. Bill.
