Testimonials

I cannot say enough good things about Dentistry for Children! My son has been a patient there for the last 14 years, and they have seen him through his very terrified early years, where they helped him through the stress, until his calm teenage years, where they treat him like one of their own! I am so thankful to them all, from the super helpful and friendly front desk staff, to the calm and very open dentists! Taking him here was the best decision ever!We’ve seen all 3 dentists at this location, they are amazing. They do such an amazing job with kids. My oldest has been terrified since the beginning and they have done an amazing job making him comfortable. The wait to get into the office is real quick. The dental hygienists are so nice and fun. They do a great job working with my boys. They are truly amazing with the 20 questions my boys ask. The dentists are great working with the parents and giving all options available for care and treatment. Their focusing is in making sure the kids are comfortable.

Karissa C. – December 2022

As always, my family had an excellent dentist appointment today at Dentistry for Children. The team there works like a well oiled machine, getting my 4 kids in and out in less than an hour. My kids have a variety of temperaments and they are always able to keep all of them at ease. The dentist always explains everything very well. You know it’s a good appointment when your kids are asking when they can go back on the drive home. We drive an hour to go to this dentist and I totally don’t mind for the excellent level of service we have received there for over 10 years. 🙂 Highly recommended, especially for very shy kids.

Meagan J. – December 2022

We travel from an hour away because Dr Becker is so brilliant with the kids. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Our oldest has sensory issues and would not even get in the chair at first. At this office, they understand and know how to work with her when she froze up. After a few visits, she was not just compliant, she enjoyed her visits. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially for those with kids that have additional challenges

Chris E. – December 2022

Dr Seth is the absolute best. He is the absolute best with the kids. He knows how to engage them and make them feel comfortable. I also appreciate the fact that unlike a lot of the other local dentists, he doesn’t over prescribe fillings. He is always happy to watch and wait instead of jumping the gun and filling cavities in teeth that are going to fall out soon anyway.

Shannan B – November 2022

Phenomenal dentist and hygienists. My children are eager to go to the dentist and feel safe, cared for, and at ease. Dr. Seth is wonderful!!

Dr. Becker and his staff were amazing, as always! My nervous 3-yr-old was quickly put at ease and even let them take “pictures” of her teeth this time – I would have thought it impossible before!!! Thank you for providing such caring and thorough service. My kids were well-taken care of, from my braces-clad 13-yr-old to my little toddler.

Love Dr. Becker and all the staff! Our 2 year old had to have dental surgery, which we were very nervous about. After reviewing the procedure with Dr. Becker and Dr. Paravecchio, the pediatric anesthesiologist, we were completely at ease and were confident she was in good hands! Thank you for taking care of our baby girl!

Dulcenea on November 17, 2016

We were sent here due to our daughters severe dental issues and her paralyzing fear of past visits with other dentists. They were patient from the beginning with her and now she looks forward to her appointments. Thank you Dr. Becker and staff!

Mike G on July 13, 2016

This was our second visit this week. I couldn’t be anymore pleased with Dentistry for Children of Port Orchard, WA. I did A LOT of asking around and searches online. I was looking for a dentist to be with my son for all his adolescence. I love how I have the choice to go back with my child. The little window that peeks into where the kids get their teeth cleaned is also great! I used it with my son to warm him up to going back there. The hygenist treated my son so genuinely sweet and kind that you would have thought she was family. Thanks Ms. Marissa. When it was our turn with Dr. Hays the visit continued to be great. He asked me if I had any concerns and showed me in great understanding detail what was going on with my sons teeth and what kinda of action plan we would need to eventually look at several years away in ortho care. And even gave me a few Good Jobs Mom! Lol

Gruber F on June 18, 2016

The office staff at Dentistry for Children are wonderful. Very friendly and helpful, yet efficient also. My girls see Dr. Hays, but we’ve had appts. With the other dentists as well. They are great with the kids. We have driven an hour to visit this office for many years, and it’s worth the drive.

Leah K on June 17, 2016

I love Dr Katrina. We have used hrr for over 3 yrs now, since I moved up here from California. This last visit we did my youngest daughters 1st check up. The staff is always super friendly. My kids are always excited to go.

Logan on June 10, 2016

It was his first time to this dentist, and he was very relaxed. He wouldn’t stop talking about how the dentist was so much fun, and asked when he was going back! Thank you team, for making my son’s experience very positive and educational! 🙂

Mason L on June 6, 2016

The dental experience for a special needs individual can be stressful! Thanks to Doctor Becker, Hayes, and the entire staff this has never been the case. I so appreciate the professionalism, kindness, and assistance from dental care to insurance logistics. I would not hesitate to recommend this team to any one!

Dr. Becker and all of the ladies at the Port Orchard office are amazing. My daughter never minds going in, and alway leaves with a smile. My son just had his first visit at 21 months old, and Dr. Becker was easily able to calm him enough to check his teeth. It was incredible. We will continue to be patients here for as long as we are in WA.

Momma V on Jan 29, 2016

My kid has been going here over 8 years! He still loves their doctors and staff members. Thank you so much.

I absolutely love Dentistry For Children. My kids are always happy and eager to go to the dentist. The staff and dentists are simply AMAZING. They are gentle, kind, and caring. I couldn’t ask for better when it comes to my children’s dentist. 100% love DFC!

I am always impressed with how friendly & supportive everyone is at Dentistry for Children. My kiddos actual enjoy going to the dentist’s office & I’m happy that they are timely even though we are there when they are busy. The dentist is also helpful by explaining what to watch for and when decisions about braces will likely happen. Two thumbs up all the way around.

Klou on December 4, 2015

We love Dentistry for Children! My daughter receives excellent care and give me good feedback on how her teeth are doing. What I love most about it is when I say it’s time for the dentist my daughter gets really excited to go! She says she loves how nice the staff is and that they are gentle on her teeth.

Candace on November 14, 2015

As always the staff is friendly and timely. With three kids waiting in the waiting room can get squirrelly but we never have that problem. My children actually love going to the dentist and that is amazing.

I can not express how much i appreciate how wonderful the staff at dentistry for children is. You folks really have made a world of difference for us. Thank you!

Love the professional staffs. They went out of their way to make our child feel safe; and, having fun with entertaining toys while waiting to be seen.

Devine F. on October 28, 2015

I highly recommend this office for kids. I have a 7 year old and a special needs 2 year old and they accommodate his quirks. It’s quite evident they are geared towards kids. They also don’t pressure the child or parent to force anything stressful on the child and would prefer to do ‘happy visits’ until the stress level lowers. I’m so happy I chose a dentist office dedicated to kids!

I love coming here with all my children. Mine and all the foster children I’ve had and have in my home. They are all treated great with no discrimination and the children actually look forward to going… Thanks guys!!!

This is the first time in my 14 years of being a momma (4 children later) that I have not left feeling like a terrible parent.. This is also the first experience my kids have had where they’re excited to come back! I can’t thank you enough!

K. Peterson on February 27, 2015

We brought our five-year-old son here for his very first dental work. They were kind, compassionate, and they dealt with him exceptionally well. The anesthesiologist was amazing and my son wasn’t afraid for a moment. As a mother and a nurse, I would recommend them to anyone.

Jennifer on February 21, 2015

Everything was great.

It was my son’s first time visiting this dentist and he loved it! He said it was his favorite dentist visit yet! I think it’s safe to say, they will have his business for awhile.
