About Kennedy Dental Care

Known for patience with special needs and autistic children, with staff and doctors described as calm even during difficult procedures.

Kennedy Dental Care is a pediatric dental practice that also offers Invisalign, though most reviews focus on general dental visits for kids. Reviews frequently mention how the team, including Dr. Nancy and Dr. Chapman, work with autistic and special-needs children, using tools like a therapy dog and music to ease anxiety before procedures. Families also mention the game room and kid-friendly waiting areas, and several note traveling from out of town for these visits.

The initial dental assistant was very rude and passive aggressive and we aren't sure why. When the dentist came in she was very nice and so was her dental assistant but the first one was just rude.
