Pediatric Dentist - Arlington,TX

You've gotten plenty of responses but I just had to recommend Dr. Randy Hamilton at i Kids Dental (as many others did). I was referred to him from Mamas on Mamapedia and was totally impressed with his staff, Dr. Hamilton and the office itself. I've only taken my 3 y/o son there for a cleaning and x-rays but we had a wonderful experience. I also got to see how the staff interacted with other kids and was very impressed.

My son is very active and stayed completely occupied throughout the visit due to how they have the office setup and the items they have throughout the office (books & video games in waiting room, video playing while in dentist chair, etc.).

Good Luck!

We use Dr. Sidney Smith in Arlington (Matlock and Arbrook). My daughter had to have 2 teeth extracted and she didn't feel a thing! She came running out to show me her teeth. His staff is so patient and sweet. We had tried to get into Dr. Sullivan originally, but it was a 2-3 month wait. We love Dr. Smith, and my daughter decided at age 4 she wanted to be a dentist when she grows up. If that's not a vote of confidence, I don't know what is.

I also use Dr. Randy Hamilton in Mansfield - my kids love him! We just went yesterday for cleanings. For some reason, my 3-year-old daughter had several freak-outs yesterday (normally she's fine), but the staff was amazingly patient with her. They offered several different options for finishing her x-rays, when she was choking on the bitewings. They also had three different techs trying to help her calm down, and Dr. Hamilton himself was talking to her, trying to soothe her.

My son also loves going there because they have video games in the waiting room! =)

Good luck to you!

Dr Sullivan in Mansfield is wonderful and so is her staff! My son goes to school by her office and wants to get his teeth cleaned when we pass her office! She is really nice and great with kids!

I typically don't respond to these forums, but I have had bad experiences with IKids Dentistry and Dr Hamilton. I don't feel that he is ethical either ....he recently got a van for his business that goes around and picks up kids on Medicaid for dental work. This seems to be a problem with several pediatric dentists in DFW and it is all over the news. It is very unfortunate.

The best dentists my children have gone to are Dr Witte and Dr Sullivan.

I am new to Texas so I am afraid I am not sure how far Arlington is from Haslet, BUT I highly recommend Dr. Amelia Baugh. We use her as a family dentist. My 8 year old is so very frightened of all doctors - really any shots - that she has fainted from freight. Before taking my daughter to Dr. Baugh I told them all about her. Dr. Baugh was so calming and soothing to my daughter and she worked quick! She made the experience so wonderful for her, my daughter is no longer afraid of the dentist.

Here is her information:

My son loved Dr. John Witte office. It is in Arlington off of Matlock and I20 by the Arlington memorial hospital. They had video games, tv's, toys, etc.

Dr. Deborah Sullivan and her office are WONDERFUL. Dr. Wright is her partner and both are great with kids. I've used them for my kids and highly recommend them. They are on Broad St. in Mansfield.

Dr. Randy Hamilton is amazing! My son had a HORRIBLE experience with a previous dentist so is extremely afraid of them. We found Dr. Hamilton through a friend. My son can be completely nervous and scared when we get there but as soon as Dr. Hamilton walks in, he is calm within 20 seconds. We've had to do two baby root canals which required him to be sedated. Dr. Hamilton did it in his office and everything went perfect. I would recommend him to anyone. Here's his contact info:

Dr.Randy Hamilton in Mansfield is really good. Although my children haven't had any teeth extracted, we've seen him for other things. He is very soothing and calming and my boys love him.

Dr. Lloyd is a godsend! My girls love his office and his staff. She had three extracted there recently and didn't feel a thing!!

Dr. Michael Lloyd on Green Oaks at Park Springs is who my grand daughter goes to. He has been great for her.

I like Dr Lloyd in Arlington very much. (He also seems to take what the insurance company agrees as reasonable and customary)--meaning I don't have to pay an extra $20 out of pocket for the cleanings.
I also like Dr Hyde Bailey and Miller in Mansfield and Dr Sullivan in Mansfield. (These all charge well over the R&C though). I have three kids and have been to all of them..Liked them all!! We go to Dr. L.
