I took my 4 year old for his first dentist visit to Katsur Dental in West View. They started out by attempting a cleaning. The machine scared him a lot and the cleaning was not able to proceed. Then the dentist attempted to count his teeth and check for cavities, but my son wouldn't let them because of the frightening experience he just had with the cleaning. The dentist offered to put a mouth guard in so she could check his teeth for cavities, which I declined - let's not traumatize the kid anymore in his 1st visit ! They attempted to brush his teeth with a fluoride treatment, but he was scared of the suction and swallowed the fluoride.



This was a HORRIBLE first dentist experience. There was no easing into the process. I don't know how this dental office can claim they cater to cowards. On what planet would you start out with a cleaning for a 4 year old who has never been to the dentist before. Little kids need to be eased into the dentist experience - count their teeth first. Then try checking for cavities. Show them how to brush their teeth. Make it fun and comfortable, then try to give a cleaning last. I will not bring my son back here, and I'm extremely angry that any subsequent dental visits are now tainted by this bad 1st experience.
