Teresa and Laurie were friendly, and made my boys feel comfortable for their first dental cleaning appointment. Dr. Yvonne and Ajikwaga Felli were very professional and informative. Overall, everyone was welcoming!"

"Parents of special needs children looking for a competent pediatric dentist, look no further! What an amazing pediatric dental clinic! We were referred by Cozi Dental for our son, who is autistic and non-verbal. Our son has extreme anxiety when it comes to anyone examining inside his mouth (dentist) or ears (ENT). We always had to restrain our son on our lap whenever we take him to the dentist back in CA, but even then, he's really strong and can fight or squirm his way out of hold. The best our dentist in Redondo Beach, CA could do was examine and brushed his teeth, something we already do daily, not even get an X-ray and they specialize in pediatric dentistry including kids with special needs! Like I've mentioned in my previous reviews on medical establishments here in TX, the care we received is phenomenal compared to what we received in SoCal South Bay area. At our very first visit to Cuddly Smiles, Dr. Yvonne Felli asked us a series of medical history questions pertaining to our son and understood right away how to treat him. Regular restraint this time did not work and we literally had to put him in a straight jacket, so Dr. Felli could work on actually cleaning his teeth. This isn't just regular brushing we were expecting and accustomed to back in CA. Dr. Felli's cleaning is involved and thorough, with the use of polishing abrasive on what looked like a dentist-grade Rotadent electric toothbrush. Using a jaw gag, Dr. Felli and her staff were able to keep our son's mouth open and take a full X-ray of his jawline and teeth for the very first time. They were even able to floss our son's teeth, amazing! Even more amazing, the entire visit lasted only 45 minutes and our son's teeth are now white and shiny. Our son even smiled once he got off the dental chair, which has never ever happened before. They also accept a wider range of insurance plans."
