FUNtastic Pediatric Dental - Long Beach, California

Ann Tato

So glad to have found this pediatric dentist office! It was super fun and our 2 year old loved it for his first visit. There is a play area for kids when you enter. The dentist and hygienist was super nice and made us feel comfortable and at ease. They answered all our questions and were able to clean and examine my son’s teeth. Then he got toys and a goodie bag on the way home. Quick, productive and fun visit!

I have been bringing my daughter to FUNtastic Dental since she was 2 and a half years old. She is now in kindergarten. Some visits she walks in feeling brave, and other times she is in tears the minute we pull into the parking lot. Today was the latter. She said she didn’t want to go in.

The receptionist was kind and very helpful regarding an upcoming insurance change. She referred me to speak to someone else (who handles billing) to clarify some things. I got all of my questions answered, and I’m thankful I can continue to bring my daughter to FUNtastic Dental. At this point, my daughter had calmed down.

Marisol, one of the pediatric dental hygienists, called my daughter’s name to go get her teeth cleaned. We followed Marisol to the dental exam chair. My daughter started getting really clingy and tears started streaming down her cheeks. I reassured her I would be right there next to her. Marisol let me know I could pull up the chair so I could sit beside my daughter. I sat down and held my daughter’s hand.

Within minutes, Marisol helped my daughter to calm down and relax by showing her the way the different dental tools worked, and even got her to giggle! Marisol was able to gain my daughter’s trust in that short amount of time. The rest of the exam seemed to go smoothly. Marisol let my daughter know every step of the way what was going to happen next, so my daughter had no need to feel anxious.

Dr. Kao is really a positive, encouraging, and kind pediatric dentist! She has been my daughter’s dentist since day one. After she completed the oral exam, she explained some things about what to expect next regarding my daughter’s baby teeth and permanent teeth. She answered a question I had, and was great (as always) with my daughter.

The goodie bag my daughter received was perfect! She couldn’t wait to look inside to see what treasures were in there. It contained items that she really liked!

I highly recommend FUNtastic Dental. I am grateful for a pediatric dental office where I can feel confident about bringing my daughter. I truly appreciate all of the staff for making each visit positive and as stress free as possible.

I love every single staff member. From the moment you walk in you’re greeted with a smile and made to feel welcomed. They are all nice, patient, and caring. They make you feel at ease when going in for any procedure. I recommend this place to everyone single friend and family member. I’ve gone to different dental places and no other place compares to the quality of care given at this place. We come here for our little ones, teenagers, and ourselves. They make it so easy to make appointments for multiple family members. I love how they send me reminders for all the appointments through multiple forms because I can forget. This place is amazing!

Funtastic dental is the best pediatric dentistry by far. They always put my mommy nerves at ease and do so well with the children. Starting with making it a fun place for kids to wait their turn. They have a play room that my children ages, 2, 4 and 6 always look forward to before and after their visit. They have TVs set up for the children to watch while they get their teeth cleaned. The dental assistants are always super nice and thorough about what they are doing. In the past I have gone with each child individually and it was sometimes chaotic (because of my kids not the dentistry). However, on our last visit they recommended to bring all three at once. I wasn’t sure how that would go but it was a true miracle! Everyone got worked on at the same time and we were in and out in no time! Thank you Funtastic for being kind, welcoming, thorough and overall giving excellent service. See you in 6 months! And as always, thanks for the goody bag!

I have been bringing my boys to this office for well over a year and each and every experience has been delightful. I know, hard to say about the dentist’s office. From the atmosphere, the decor and to every single staff member, it is top notch. My kids do not dread going to the dentist. The doctor and the assistants are some of the best I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. We are loyal!

I am beyond impressed with this location and staff. From the minute we walked in we were welcomed with a friendly smile which made my daughter happy and relaxed. we did not wait not even 5 mins when we were called to the back for xrays. Marisol the dental assistant was beyond amazing and explained to my 6 year old daughter the cutest way of what was going to be done on her, Marisol had my daughter giggling the whole time. Dr.Kao was so sweet and gentle with my daughter and i highly recommend her. The whole staff has a wonderful way of treating kids and making them feel comfortable. My daughter was so happy to come home and show the rest of the family all the treats she received for being braved! I will definitely be returning in 6 months.
