Very condescending towards parents, took my 4 year old in for a check up. The dentist and assistant openly discussed how unhappy they were with his teeth in front of my 4 year old rather than pull me aside at the end and continued to talk down to me as a parent, asking ridiculous questions like "does he eat sweets?" and "does he drink squash?". When trying to put forward that he is a 4 year old child and eats as much as the average child and that we do try to stress the importance of his dental hygiene, the dentist didn't want to know. Very rude and off putting and made to feel terrible as a parent. It's as if they never met a child before. My son, being in the middle of all this back and forth, then at the end got to pick his sticker with tears in his eyes and got upset after leaving because he went in excited thinking he was doing a good job of brushing his teeth and came out ripped apart by the dentist. If there's a different dentist available for your children, go there.
