Children's Dental Clinic & Orthodontics of Las Cruces

I had a terribly annoying experience. I have been breastfeeding my daughter for almost two years and have never had someone tell me to "wean" her until this visit. Once I informed your staff that I breastfeed all other inquiries into mine and my daughter's habits stopped. From that moment it was decided that if I didn't stop breastfeeding my daughter her teeth would fall out and rot. Rather than asking me how well I brush her teeth, I was told to wean. I was told by my daughter's doctor that it was acceptable to hand her the toothbrush, once a day, and let her do it. The dentist could have told me that this was an improper method and left it at that. Instead I was informed breastfeeding is the only issue we have. I am an informed breastfeeder. I have read multiple peer-reviewed journals supporting night feeding. If your dentist is uninformed about the other side of breastfeeding he should stop giving inappropriate advice. If he would like I can send you links to these journal articles so he could take a look as well. I will not be coming back to this office. It is not a dentist's job to instruct me on how to raise my daughter based on his opinions. Especially when he is blind to any other issues that may be going on.

This is a great place to take your children. The staff is extremely kid friendly and easy to work with. They always make our visit easy from the moment we walk in the door to the moment we leave. They have great hours for working parents and our wait time is always less than 5 minutes when we have been there. Great place all the way around!

Always a good experience. Staff do their best to answer our questions and make my children's visits go smoothly.

I received poor customer service from both the dentist on staff as well as the nurses that were to see my children. I had recently changed my older teenager because the dentist did not take care of his cavities, and the dentist was always snide to him. I would never suggest to take a child or adult to this clinic because they judge a person before they even talk to the person. They also accused my children about lying, which we are a very honest family and nobody should accuse you of lying at the dentist.
