My child chipped his tooth this week at school and we were urgently needing care. I searched dental offices under the insurance, but none were able to see me in the time frame requested. I reached out to Candy Care for help. It was after hours, but they still communicated via text to assist. They are not in network, but worked to accommodate my child for urgent dental care. Upon arrival, the staff was very friendly, their office is very nice and clean and kids friendly. The Dentist, Dr. Gupta, was very thorough and gentle with my child. They are currently in process of getting credentialing to take our insurance. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a Pediatric Dentist.Posted on Google Elijah KittrellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

At Candy Care Pediatric Dental, we’ve created more than just a dental office—we’ve built a Sweet Escape where children feel safe, confident, and excited about their visits. Dr. Gupta is a board-certified pediatric dentist. Her residency program was affiliated with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital (Level 1 pediatric trauma Center) and Mailman Segal Center, which is a well-renowned leading clinic for children with autism.
