I have 4 kids ranging from 4-11 and all of my kiddos had the best experience. The ladies were all so wonderful, and Dr. Burk was very informative and great at putting my kids at ease as well. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent experience, the Dentist was professional, timely and great with our son who has ASD. We initially came just to get a second opinion but have decided to switch over to them for all future visits!

I was really satisfied with our dental assistant, if I remember correctly her name is Jordan. Dr. Burks (again I think that’s how you pronounce it) was super great. My 8 year old was really struggling going back to the dentist after having some work done. He was so calm and reassured her. My 2.5 year old is coming up and I can’t wait to see how they are with her!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely love Idaho Kids Dentistry in Meridian! The entire team is incredibly patient and understanding with my children. They never push my kids beyond their comfort level, and they are just as respectful and supportive of me as a parent. The staff is kind, communicates clearly, and always makes us feel welcome. The office is exceptionally clean and sanitary, and the beautiful artwork throughout the office creates such a warm and inviting atmosphere. We always have a great experience here and leave feeling cared for. 10/10 recommend to any family looking for a wonderful pediatric dental office!
