We have been going to Stuart pediatric dentistry for a few years, always had a great experience. But today was my... youngest’s 3rd time she is on the spectrum and highly sensory seeking. I always leave flustered from trying to keep her occupied and willing to get her teeth checked. And end up waiting in the car for my other daughter. We have always had to do lap to lap and she hasn’t really allowed cleaning. We were greeted by our hygienist James today and brought to the X-ray area. I immediately started sweating( if you know you know) she hasn’t ever had one. But James was calm and spoke to her in such a manner that she sat in my lap and with little resistance let him, she also went into the room after and actually laid on the chair and allowed him to clean her teeth! She then waited for her sister and watched her get her teeth cleaned. This is huge, and I cannot thank James enough for the way he handled the visit. Your patience today was truly appreciated! He never just gave up because she showed some resistance, he patiently and in a very caring tone talked her through it! Thank you!Sidenote: Dr. Matos was amazing as well!read more

My daughter is extremely terrified of coming to the dentist, but Jessica was super sweet and nice trying to make her feel comfortable.

What started as a bad fall and knocking four front baby teeth, an ER visit and ultimately at Stuart Pediatric Dentistry... with Dr. Matos, resulted in two relieved parents and an amazingly cooperative 3 year old. From our first interaction with Liz at the front who was compassionate, knowledgeable, and welcoming, to our tech Faye who has the perfect temperament for children and managed multiple xrays for a three year old, to Dr Matos who clearly loves what he does and loves educating parents- it took an awful situation and turned it around for us. My daughter was so cooperative due to the loving care all of the staff exhibited at every stage of our appointment. Couldn’t recommend this practice more.Update 1/30/24: just had followup and first cleaning for my three year old with Shanti. Amazing temperament. Patience beyond belief. She explained all the sounds and smells and was so exceptional at getting my child thru her first cleaning. I am so appreciative to this practice. From the wonder greetings at the front - beautiful Liz is always a gem, even the patience of the insurance rockstar (I gave her three different cards bc Im totally unorganized) to Shanti and her perfect demeanor- Dr Matos is running a 5 star pediatric dentistry.read more

This is the best pediatric dentist office I've seen. Although it is a commute for us I make the trip because Dr. Matos... and his staff make my child's experience unintimidating, friendly and fun. He greets each child energetically and with a big smile, always explaining what he will do without frightening them. Each room has a ceiling t.v. and a treasure box gift is given to every child after every visit. Nurses are friendly and are very good checking in and giving updates about wait time before the doctor comes in and throughout the visit. The front desk and checkout crew are always pleasant and willing to work with the schedule of the parents/guardians. Also, an extra perk your children will enjoy are the newly installed interactive multigame touch screens in addition to a small toy collection available in the waiting area. This office is definitely a keeper!!read more

They are timely (you are not sitting in the waiting room 30+ minutes), know how to appropriately engage the children while keeping the children slightly distracted with a movie while getting dental services completed.The doctors and dental assistants even provide a thorough visit summary post cleaning. And I love that a toothbrush, floss and sometimes a toy is also provided to keep consistent cleaning ongoing.Love this office!read more

So where do I start!? The moment I walked in the door everyone was so pleasant! They were very punctual… the huge is we... had was Erica… she was so good with my daughter making her laugh through the entire X-ray procedure and cleaning. She was very very thorough and attentive to the problematic areas without making my daughter flinch! The dentist, Dr. Matos came in ready. He’s reviewed the X-rays and has communicated with me thoroughly and plainly so I understood everything! My daughter and he shared a few cackles and explained a plan of action for a couple of areas and I was relieved to see an actual caring doctor who I felt took their time to make sure she and I was comfortable with everything. Finally at the end of the appointment I was checked out with this bubbly lady named Liz. She made sure my future appointments were set and I was notified of any charges I would have to pay in the future procedures which are reasonable. Her nails were super cute too! (Just had to throw that in there).I’m eternally grateful we were able to experience this office and will continue to recommended them wholeheartedly.read more

This office was recommended to us by our daughters' pediatrician. I can't say enough about this place and the staff! It... is a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in the door. The front desk staff is extremely helpful and polite, and the office is decorated in a way that will make your child feel comfortable. They have screens above the dental chair so that the kids can watch their favorite shows or movies while getting work done. My 4 year old daughter gets excited to go to the dentist, which was shocking to me. However when you come here, you will understand why. Melissa and Dr. Patel are fantastic with the kids and do such a great job. I'm so glad that we were recommended to go here. It is the Dentist you wish you had as a kid.read more

Yoana put her right at ease and my daughter opened her mouth and had the gentle cleaning done without issue.Dentist is also friendly, spoke directly to my daughter, and took the time to answer all my questions and concerns.

I teach my children to be active and vocal in their medical care, so this is a huge positive for us)Front desk staff is also wonderful. Thank you!!read more

Updated Review: Office Staff was very unprofessional today. I really like the dentists but I don’t know how I feel... after today. Apparently instead of being personable and calling to advise of openings like my dentist does they send out mass messages to multiple patients. I received back to back messages for 2 of my kids since the oldest already had an appointment at that same time. I thought it was the same message advising of appointments for today at the same time for both kids. When I called for clarification and asked if the middle could be seen I was asked to hold and was given the office manager which actually escalated me and upset me because that is not what I asked for all I asked was could she be seen we have been patients at this office for about 5 years they made comments about me not needing to yell which I was not doing, As well as talking as I was going to move my kids to my dentist and try to cancel my oldest’s appointment talking over me I had to interrupt and ask if she was actually listening as I was explaining their dad was still brining her. Anyone want to take bets to see if they decide to boot my kids from their care. Yes it’s my mistake for thinking their back to back messages were both approintment confirming appointments but they could have just said I’m sorry for the confusion and we just can’t squeeze her in. Not how a family should be treated after using the same practice for half a decade.Most recent visit: This office is still great, my youngest needed outpatient to crown her molars but unfortunately it was very hard to get in. A few months went by and we continued going to regular check ups. My youngest was doing good very well so Dr. Patel decided to go ahead and try the procedures in office. They are very serious about not having dental visits be traumatic experience. The day of our appointment my daughter let the dentist know which tooth was bothering her the most based on how bad the tooth got it had to come out. I could tell the doctor really cared and hated that it had to come to extraction without being out under. My daughter did cry but she also hugged the dentist after. For the last 2 teeth my youngest needs done I chose their option for sedation in office to complete the treatment plan. I’m grateful for the treatment options and the caring staff.Past Visit: This office is wonderful. The office is clean and has a great play area for the kids. One of my kids was traumatized at another dental office and after coming here she is no longer afraid. My oldest daughter asks which office we are going to because she doesn’t want to return to the old place they used to go. Here my kids fight about who gets to sit in the chair first. The staff is kind and patient.read more

Got Questions? Get the Answers
We know bringing your child to the dentist can inspire a whole host of questions. Our pediatric dentists provide the answers you need!
  • When should I bring my child in for his or her first dental visit?

    As outlined by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry…Opens a new window to the AAPD website…, we recommend that a child’s first dental visit is scheduled by his or her first birthday.

    It is essential to make the first visit positive and enjoyable for your child. That’s why we provide as many patient resources as possible. We want your child to enjoy getting to know Dr. Matos, Dr. Patel, and our staff while feeling at home.

    A pleasant, comfortable first visit builds trust and helps put your child at ease during future dental visits.

  • Why are the primary teeth important?

    Maintaining the health of primary teeth (baby teeth) is vital for oral development. Neglected cavities can and frequently do lead to problems. Primary teeth are essential for:

    1. Proper chewing and eating
    2. Providing space for the permanent teeth and guiding them into the correct position
    3. Permitting healthy development of the jaw bones and muscles

    Primary teeth also affect the development of speech and add to an attractive appearance. While the front four teeth last until 6-7 years of age, the back teeth (cuspids and molars) aren’t replaced until age 10-13.

  • What’s the best toothpaste for my child?

    Many toothpaste kinds can damage young smiles because they contain harsh abrasives that wear away immature tooth enamel. When looking for a toothpaste for your child, pick one recommended by the American Dental Association…Opens a new window to the ADA website… (as shown on the box and tube).

  • How do I prevent cavities?

    Good oral hygiene removes bacteria and left-over food particles that create cavities.

    For infants, use a wet gauze or clean washcloth to wipe the plaque from teeth and gums. Avoid putting your child to bed with a bottle filled with anything other than water.

    Older children should brush their teeth at least twice a day. Also, be aware of the number of snacks containing sugar that you give your child.

    The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends visits every six months to a pediatric dentist, beginning at your child’s first birthday. Routine visits will start your child on a lifetime of good dental health.

    Dr. Matos or Dr. Patel may also recommend protective sealants or home fluoride treatments for your child. Sealants can be applied to your child’s molars to prevent decay on hard to clean surfaces.

  • What do I do during a dental emergency?

    Toothache: 

    • Clean the area of the affected tooth
    • Rinse the mouth with warm water or use dental floss to remove any food debris

    • Apply ice to injured areas to help control swelling

    • If bleeding can’t be controlled, call a doctor or visit the hospital emergency room

     

    Knocked out permanent tooth: 

    • If possible, find the tooth
    • Handle it by the crown, not by the root 
    • Rinse the tooth with water ONLY
    • If the tooth is sound, try to reinsert it in the socket
    • Have the patient hold the tooth in place by biting on gauze
    • If you can’t reinsert the tooth, transport it in a cup containing the patient’s saliva or milk 
    • Contact us IMMEDIATELY!
