Amazing experience today for our daughter's appointment. She has been so nervous at the dentist previously and allowed little "work" to be done. Dr. Carrie was fantastic, our daughter was brave, and everything went smoothly and all the treatment plan was able to be completed. Fantastic place to take children needing pediatric specialty dental work. Highly recommend, cannot say enough great things about the team, service, and experience. We are very grateful - thank you!
Tailwind is the best. The dental hygienists and dentist go above and beyond to support littles and make sure they're comfortable. I'm beyond impressed!
Took our daughter there for a few years until we moved. It was her first real dental experience and they did such a good job getting her to feel comfortable, never pushing her to do anything. They even have a comfort dog who comes in once a week to help kids who might need extra support. All the staff was super great. Highly recommend!
They are so passionate, compassionate, and adept at adapting to help my autistic child have a positive experience.
Makayla was amazing. My son (4) was super nervous and she did a fantastic job explaining to him everything she was doing. When we left he asked when we could go back and see her again!
We are so happy we made the switch to Tailwind Pediatric Dentistry! The staff has been great, and our experience on both visits has been wonderful. They did a fantastic job, and we highly recommend them to other families.
The staff were super friendly and engaging with my toddler. Put him at ease pretty quickly. And the atmosphere is designed with kids in mind. We’ll be following up with them for future visits.
We went here for my son‘s first dentist appointment. We were referred by two separate friends and I can see why! I loved the calm atmosphere, and the patience and silliness of our dental hygienist and the dentist. I will definitely be returning for future appointments.
Absolutely recommend - everyone is so welcoming and nice, my daughter loves going which says a lot about this dentist.
We've taken all five of our kids to Tailwinds and have never had a bad experience. Not even once. Fantastic people and fantastic services. There office manager is a compete rockstar.
My kiddo had her first dental visit here a couple of weeks ago and it couldn’t have gone better! The staff was friendly and welcoming, the assistant and dentist that worked with us were amazing with kids and let us go our own pace and didn’t push when my daughter didn’t feel comfortable with something. Highly recommend as this place was also recommended to me!
This place is awesome! Easy to schedule, all three boys were in an out in under 30 minutes, it’s clean, fun, everyone is friendly and just all around awesome!
We’ve only had wonderful experiences here. There are toys in the waiting room, really friendly staff and prizes after. :)
Love all the staff at Tailwinds Dentisty! It's a perfect place for my kids. The staff is warm friendly and we received great care.
Everyone is nice and the kids and I have no complaints. Thank you for the great care you provide. We have had a positive experience every time.
Highly recommend! Every single experience we’ve had here has been 5 stars. They are always on time and always friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. And most importantly patient with the little patients!
The people are Tailwind are fantastic and have made it to where my 3 year old is almost excited to go (she loves the toys at the end). They put in the time and effort to connect with the kids, and you can see the tension and anxiety ease up in real time. 5 stars for real.
All the staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Very patient with our fearful child’s first time at the dentist.
We love Tailwind! Both of my kiddos have gone since their first appointment. Staff is incredible with my 14yo who’s on the spectrum and my 10yo with pretty high anxiety. It’s always a quick and easy appointment. All of the hygienists and Dr Stephens are amazing with both kiddos, so calm and kind - I recommend Tailwind to everyone I know who’s looking for a pediatric dental office.
Doctors and Staff are excellent with kids! We’ve always had a great experience with them.
My 4- and 2-year-old had a great experience here from the start. They feel comfortable and relaxed for the cleaning and the exam. We will continue to come to Tailwind for our dental checkups.
Beautiful clinic and very kid friendly staff and clinic! My girls loved their dental visit!
Had a bad experience with the mail dentist (and owner) but both female dentists were wonderful. The staff has been great and they have a kid friendly set up (bathroom with wipes, a stool, changing table, toys in the lobby). The male dentist doesn’t seem to like kids and sort of forced my 3 year old daughter’s mouth open before giving her a single moment to be convinced-first appointment.
Friendly, super efficient, helpful. The kids look forward to going in for the bouncy ball prizes and kind staff. They've helped us avoid an ER visit by talking us through a mouth injury over the phone on a weekend. Highly recommend.
Our kiddo was super nervous about going to the dentist - but once we got there she wasn’t nervous at all and had a really great visit. everyone was so friendly!
They are always so kind and patient with my young children and willing to work around whatever mood my kids might be in during their appointments.
We had our second visit last week with our toddler, and it was a great experience! Easy to schedule. Kind, caring, and competent staff. They did a wonderful job putting our 3 year old at ease and making it a fun experience for him.
We are so happy with Tailwind Pediatric Dentistry. Everyone who works in the office from the front desk, to the hygienists, and Dr. Taylor are warm, friendly and wonderful. My kids are always asking when they GET to go to the dentist. We LOVE the team at Tailwinds and I recommend it to anyone with kids!
Easy to make appointments, awesome staff and great care for my kids. Highly recommend!
They’re always so welcoming, kind to my kids, and take great care of their teeth.
We have had such a good experience with our 2 and 6 year old. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and they do a great job making sure the kids feel comfortable and know what the equipment is for and what it feels like. The visits are always very efficient, no bored kids! Highly recommend.
A very pleasant and soothing experience for my kids. My boys love going to their appointments and the staff is so friendly and caring. Dr. Stephens is an excellent dentist. The hygienists are extremely thorough and kid-friendly.
I brought all three of my young kids for a visit at the same time, and was so worried it would be challenging. The set up is perfect-I was able to easily check in with my two oldest, they were just a few steps apart. My little one is not yet two so just had a quick easy check in after my bigs were done. Honestly, they were so comfortable there they wouldn’t have even noticed if I didn’t check in. Friendly, quick and thorough-I worried for nothing!
Great environment and really put our 15 month old at ease! Wonderful staff - all so friendly!
So nice wonderful experience my son who is three years old absolutely loved it.
The best pediatric dentist! My son was seen here a couple of weeks ago. They did an excellent job marking him feel comfortable that the two appointments that we had scheduled, became to be only one visit. They are so professional that we’re able to get done everything at once. Doctor Laura is the best!
Hands down, BEST pediatric dentist! Our sons have both gone here since they were 2 and they love going to the dentist! Recently, our 9yo had 4 teeth extracted and we're struck by the 180 degree different experience he had at Tailwind as compared to the experiences both his dad and I remember having from our own childhoods. Thank you Tailwind, you're doing pediatric dentistry right!
Always top notch experience here. So kid friendly and makes it easier on the whole family. From reception to hygienists, to dentists… 🦷 🎉 fabulous from start to finish.
The absolute best! Think Mr. Roger’s as a dentist! Plus somewhat of a magician. I wish he worked on adults too!!
Dr. Stephen is an exceptional Dr incredibly knowledgeable, and truly present when speaking with you. We came to him with a concern, and he explained our options clearly, offering thoughtful advice without making us feel pressured into any particular choice. His caring approach and willingness to answer all of our questions made us feel comfortable. What stood out the most was the genuine sense of warmth and attentiveness he showed we never felt like just another number.
My son received his first fillings this morning. He came into the appointment tired and quiet, no joke he left his appointment proud and with a smile on his face!! 5 star experience across the board! Fillings with a laser. Game changer! Thank you Tailwind Pediatric Dentistry!!
Dr. Stephens and his staff are top notch, my son has had nothing but positive experiences at all of his appointments. Would definitely recommend Tailwind for anyone in search of a great dentist and staff.
I’ve taken my 6 year old to Tailwind for the last 2 years. My almost 3 year old just started going last year. We’ve always had a very positive experience. All of the staff are very warm and welcoming. They are very skilled at working with kids.
Very professional, caring and helpful. My son has loved being a patient at Tailwind. We had a “situation” and they went above and beyond to help us with contact a specialist, getting the information there and more. I strongly recommend them.
Our experience at Tailwind was great. Dr. Laura was kind, thoughtful and really listened to our concerns. The entire staff was also very kind and helpful. The building and space is very clean and my kids loved the prizes after their checkup. We are happy to have Tailwind as our new dental clinic.
Love Tailwind!!! I drive 2 1/2 hours to bring my daughter there. And it is totally worth it!!!
I went to the Richfield location, and I'm so glad I did because this is an AWESOME place, the staff are WONDERFUL!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Everyone was very friendly and helpful, my son was also impressed by the bouncy ball selection. I trust that the treatment plan recommended is the right way to go.
My 4 year old is always excited to go to the dentist! They also have the little Flosser tools that he likes to use himself
My little one was very nervous about her first time at dentist. Everyone made her whole experience so comfortable! Was highly referred here by a Facebook group and an see why.
Great staff, Dr. Stephen is so gentle & patient, great with the kids. My kids actually *like* going to the dentist- because it’s not scary, but probably mostly because of the prizes & giant gumball machine with bouncy balls 😂. Fun colors, natural light and open spaces make it a calming environment for kids. They were accommodating with my neurodiverse kiddo who needed a procedure recently, giving us a “second chance” when the first appt didn’t go so well and working around his stuffie and iPad that he needed to get through it. We love Tailwinds! Would recommend them to anyone
You made a not so fun experience, very easy and comfortable for myself and my son! My son doesn’t do well at the dentist and you guys worked with him so great! All the staff we worked with went above and beyond to make sure my son and I were comfortable! Highly recommend Tailwind!
