About
Kids Dental is your go-to source for all pediatric dentistry in Tacoma, WA. We provide quality dental services for ages 1-20. Yes, we're pros when it comes to all aspects of our pint-sized patient's dental care--even when they shoot up into teens who still want plenty of pampering with their checkups. From fluoride treatments to digital x-rays, emergency and trauma care to dental restoration, pediatric dentistry is a unique field that requires equal parts compassion and expertise. That's where we shine.
A trip to the dentist can rank right up there with having recess cut short, but it doesn't have to. At Kids Dental, we specialize in making your child's trip to the dentist painless, fast and even fun. Each member of our staff is here because they have a passion for working with kids as well as a mission to help all of our Tacoma neighbors build a foundation for healthy oral hygiene for life. Good oral health starts in childhood, so consider us your on-call tooth fairies (although we offer free toothbrushes and stickers instead of quarters).

We have tried a few different pediatric dentists in the area and this was by far the best experience. Both the hygienist and the doctor were professional and and very friendly. My daughter's hygienist was great with my daughter and made her feel completely comfortable. I would highly recommend Kids Dental in Tacoma :)

This place is great for kids! The waiting room is simple and clean. Just a few toys but enough to preoccupy. The staff are particularly sweet and understanding with toddlers. Mine didn’t want to go in, didn’t want to open his mouth, was reluctant for all the procedures but they were patient and helped him through it. There’s a tv with Nick Jr on the ceiling above the exam chair which helps distract. And the hygienist tried to help him by explaining as much and Dr Nguyen was so sweet. She let my son hold all the instruments while doing the procedures. Then he got a toy from a toy dispenser at the end of the visit which was really special for him. And when we walked away he said he likes the dentist.

The dental assistant was amazing with my little boy yesterday. My son is only four years old. Both the dentist and the dental assistant were very friendly with my boy and took their time. so that he would trust them to do what they needed to get done. I would highly recommend this kids dental.

The dentist was great. The staff is wonderful. And all my kids live going there. But Victoria was the absolute BEST!!! She put my older kids at ease and helped the little kids be confident. I will most definitely recommend Kids Dental to all my friends and family!!!

we had an amazing experience at Kids Dental Tacoma. The building was easy to find very convenient parking we came at a very quiet time where we were the only ones there. Inside the building was very clean and brand new it also was tailored 100% towards children making it a very easy and enjoyable experience for Mom when we got back the dental hygienists who cleaned both of my children's teeth at the same time we're very calm patient and friendly. My youngest is 3 and my oldest is 6 who is on the autism spectrum when we were greeted by the dentist he shook my hand and told me he also had two children on the Spectrum which for me is music to my ears because I know he knows how to work with my son, and he did he was able to get the job done with zero tears. we will be back every 6 months!!!
