Dental Smiles For Kids

Dental Smiles 4 Kids has the most amazing staff. They are so welcoming, from the moment you walk through the door you will feel comfortable with the front desk staff. They greet you with a smile but they are truly genuine and beautiful! My boys were nervous and my 4 year old was crying but the staff took the time to put my boys at ease, with patience and smiles. Dental Hygienist, Nata is super sweet and patient. She showed my boys the tools she was going to use and explained everything to them. My 4 year old relaxed and became the best of friends with her. My older one did not want to leave her side. When Dr. Jacky arrived the boys were greeted with the kindest smile. Dr. Jacky was so genuinely sweet and my boys were smitten by her beauty and positive attitude. My boys left the office with bright smiles, amazing goody bags, and asked when they could return. This is the best Pediatric Dental office. The décor is child friendly and the tv in every room has Disney on making it a child friendly experience!

Dental Smiles for kids is wonderful!!! There is never a long wait and they give the kids a «treat» bag with dental goodies. The dental assistant Audrey is absolutely is a gem; so attentive, understanding and engaging towards my daughter. I can’t forget Dr. K as he is affectionately known; he bought chocolates from by daughter’s school fundraiser.

Great customer service ;)

I took my kids back for their 6 month check up, Dr. B wasn’t there. We saw the hygienist, who was extremely rude. She was judgmental and kept shaking her head when she examined my daughter. Now, 6 months prior to this my daughter had zero cavities. I haven’t changed anything in her diet or brushing/​flossing. If anything we’ve been more proactive. The hygienist said she had 5 cavities! No x rays were taken. Next my 20 month old was examined. Six months before he had minor baby bottle mouth, Dr. B said continue brushing, he will be fine. Well this hygienist said his teeth were so bad they needed to be extracted. All of his top teeth. We decided to get a second opinion and the next dentist we saw said 1) Our daughter had only 1 cavity. None showed on the x rays and 2) There is no way my 20 month old’s teeth would have to be extracted– they were not that bad at all. We will not be going back there.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Kourtsounis, or Dr. K as all of his patients refer to him as. What a lovely, lovely office! I have been taking both of my children since they have been babies (they are now 8 and 5). My son (knock wood) has never had to have any procedures done but my 5 year old apparently has more decay in her teeth and had to have three cavities filled yesterday.Dr. K is such an amazing human being. I wish I had the same kind of bedside manner that he has with children! My daughter (who normally freaks out with cleanings) sat quietly and watched TV for 30 minutes while he numbed her with anesthesia (thanks to Dr. K’s amazing little method lol) and didn’t even feel it and filled three cavities.
The office is very inviting and kid-​friendly — he really cares about his patients and making their childhood dental experiences very nice and memorable ones. Valerie who is the hygienist in the office is sooo sweet and Marvelin (front desk) and Audrey who helped Dr. K through the procedure are also amazing.
I travel here from a different side of Queens and will continue doing so as long as Dr. K is in practice.
