About Green Mountain Pediatric Dentistry
Handling toddlers, autistic children, and severely anxious kids with therapy dogs, magic tricks, and laughing gas is a specialty here, led by Dr. Barry Jacobson.
Green Mountain Pediatric Dentistry is a pediatric dental practice that also offers Invisalign and clear aligners. Reviews describe particular success with children who have sensory issues, autism, or severe dental anxiety, using tools like a therapy dog, balloons, and gradual desensitization for touch-averse toddlers. Dr. Barry Jacobson is frequently mentioned for using humor and patience to avoid sedation, and several families note he explains each step before starting. A newly added in-house orthodontist now collaborates with the dental team on treatment plans, though a few reviews mention long waits for orthodontic appointments specifically.

I have five children in this dentistry and though they are amazing with teeth, they leave a lot to be desired with bedside manner. They have no toys in the waiting room and are constantly 20 to 40 minutes late. But have the audacity to criticize you if you are a couple of minutes or have to reschedule an appointment. They are rude and condescending and hold you to a standard they are not capable of upholding
Always have a good experience. They pull out all the tricks and they really know how to communicate and redirect to get what they need done. This is the first time my child enjoys going to the dentist.
Good office, clean and bright. Sometimes feels very rushed a chaotic during appointments but otherwise our experience has been good. Staff have always been kind and professional.
Absolutely love the hygienist we saw today for my son. Yeah, super high anxiety and she was amazing. The female dentist on the other hand was just ok. Definitely ask To see Dr. J as he is seriously the best with children just like his hygienist. I wish I could remember her name because we need more people like her in this world. If it was only the female dentist there, we would not be coming back. This was our first encounter with her And unfortunately, it’ll be our last time seeing her. Does it seem like she looks in the chart to see what previous things were discussed from our last visit, instead just jumped into telling me what she thought was going on without even seeing x-rays or even listening to my child. Definitely ask for Dr. J if you bring your children here. He should start his own practice
The experience was 10/10. From the ease of scheduling to the lobby atmosphere. Great staff, who clearly understand and appreciate the value of a child’s autonomy and consent. Plus lots of great prizes at the end for the brave patient. First time mom at a first appointment-VERY grateful to the positive experience!
