Fountain Pediatric Dentistry — Local services in New York

I am blown away by the level of service and professionalism I've experienced with Dr Jen and her dental nurse Kim. My son is five years old and has autism. My son had visited a different dentist once before and refused to open his mouth. Dr Jen and Kim both have a natural rapport with children, and come across as very easy going and friendly. My son gladly walked into the examination room after Kim introduced herself. Dr Jen and Kim were doing back flips to appease my son, what really impressed me was when Dr Jen made the right judgement call to be assertive and ensure my son received a thorough examination and care. My son was very upset about the fluoride cleaning, but Dr Jen guided me, and we worked as a team to get the job done in a safe way. Next time I expect my son to be happy with letting Dr Jen clean his teeth as he now knows the treatment does not hurt. Dr Jen mentioned that she does use sedation for children when required but there would also be an anesthesiologist present to take care of that. Dr Jen is knowledgeable, very careful and caring. I received a phone call after the visit to check all was well as my son left in the middle of a meltdown, due to sensory issues. Everyone in the office made me feel at ease acting like it was no big deal and worked as a team to make sure we left the building safely. I didn't feel rushed and they really couldn't have done a better job with my son. I'm so happy I found Dr Jen for my son, and I would absolutely recommend her for any child, especially a child with special needs as she clearly...

I brought my two children (ages 2 and 4) to Dr. Fountain for their first dental appointments... I was a bit apprehensive at first. Neither child is a fan of brushing their teeth, and I wasn't sure how they'd respond to a stranger sticking instruments in their mouths... But Dr. Jen was great! She had my older son go first. He sat in the chair and she explained everything she was going to do before she did it. He did not seem nervous at all, and was very proud of himself for doing such a great job at the dentist. My 2y/o sat on my lap in the dentist's chair, while the 4y/o watched. My 2y/o was also very cooperative and comfortable. He had brought a favorite doll with him and Dr. Jen asked the dolls name and even demonstrated what she would be doing on the doll first. My 2y/o thought this was just great! Each child got to pick a toothbrush and a "prize" afterwards, which they were very excited about. My 4y/o was asking for DAYS afterwards when we could go back to the dentist. If you're worried about a first dentist experience for your children (or just finding a great pediatric dentist) I can HIGHLY recommend Dr....

We absolutely love Fountain Pediatric Dentistry! Dr. Jen and her staff are amazing. When we first went in 2022, our kids (then 3 and 6) had never been to the dentist before. Our 6-year-old has a lot of anxiety, sensory issues, and was extremely afraid of the dentist.

Dr. Jen worked some real magic—she made her feel welcome and comfortable right away. She explained everything step by step, why they were doing it, and helped turn what could have been a stressful experience into an amazing first dental visit.

Now, our kids actually ask when their next appointment is! Our oldest even pumps her fist and says “Yes!” when I tell her it’s dentist day. The TVs, prizes, and fun atmosphere certainly help too, but it’s really the warmth and patience of the staff that makes the difference.

By the end, we had brought all three of our kids (now 3.5, 6, and 9), and each one has had such a positive experience. Dr. Jen, Dr. E, and the entire team have been so accommodating from the very start and have worked with us every step of the way.

We can’t recommend them enough—truly the best experience we could have hoped for in a...
