Built for kids
Parents mention the same things in their reviews, because we designed the office around them.
Friendly dinosaurs, animals and trees on every wall. Kids walk in curious instead of worried.
Four screens with games keep older kids busy while they wait.
Quiet corners with books and puzzles for kids who would rather read.
A safe play area for toddlers, so the little ones burn off energy before their exam.

Questions parents ask
What the waiting room is like, what to bring and how a toddler's first visit goes.
The whole office is decorated with friendly dinosaurs, animals and trees. The waiting area has TVs with video games for older kids, books and puzzles, and a slide with padded floors for the little ones, so most kids walk in excited rather than nervous.
Yes. Many families bring their child by to meet the team and see the office before the first visit. Browse the photos on this page, then call (206) 246-4559 and we will find a time for a quick hello.
Bring your completed new patient and health history forms (available on our Patient Resources page), your dental insurance card, a list of any medications your child takes, and, if possible, a favorite comfort item. Arriving a few minutes early helps the visit start relaxed.
Children under three are usually examined in a parent's lap, knee-to-knee with the dentist. We count teeth, check growth and development, and gently introduce the chair, the prophy brush and the suction in a fun way. The goal of the first visit is a positive experience and a plan for keeping your child cavity-free.

Absolutely love this office. My daughter had a really traumatic intro to dentistry and she was so afraid to see the dentist. Burien Children's put her at ease immediately. Their waiting area has a little kid fort with fun toys. …
Oh wow. My 2.5 year old HATES having his teeth brushed. It's a daily battle. I was so nervous about taking him to the dentist. But it was shockingly easy! The lobby & all the dinosaur decor were super kid friendly. He felt right at home! The staff was kind & obviously very experienced with kids. The dentist was AMAZING! Gentle, quick & somehow convinced my toddler to sit still & open his mouth. No fear, no threats, no crying. I was amazed. Highly recommend for even the most unruly toddlers.
Today I took my 2-year-old daughter for the first time, and I'm so glad I chose this place. Everyone is incredibly friendly, the environment is lovely and clean, and my daughter was a little scared at first, but she left happy. Thank you to all the staff and Dr. Scott.

Highly recommended! The dentist and assistant were incredibly attentive to my son's needs. He arrived very nervous, but they calmed him down and were very patient with both me and him. The reception staff was also excellent. It's a 10 out of 10 place, I recommend it 100%.
Child had a dental emergency. The speed and care taken to address, treat, and assist in making appointments with other offices is top shelf. I will never change from this pediatric dentist no matter where we live. You got us till child is an adult. Thank you so much.
My kids love going here! They have been going since my oldest, now 9, was a toddler. They are so welcoming and the receptionist gives the best customer service. She is fast with checking us in and is always making sure there is a movie on. …
The employees here are saints. My son has been coming here for 2 years and is a terror every time, I don't know how we haven't been banned. UPDATE: The new owners are saints as well. The dentist told my son the fluoride was Spider-Man's vitamins so he let her put it on. True professionals.
Both my kids go here and they are the best. They make them both feel so comfortable.
I decided to take my 3 year old twins to the dentist and this place was recommended by a friend. My kids had a great experience. They didn't get hurt, the assistants were patient and explained every step to the kids and I loved that. They also have people that speak Spanish and that is good!
Highly recommend Burien Children's Dentistry. Our first dentist experience with our 3 year old could not have gone any better. All day afterwards she was excited to use her new "tooth gear", new brush, floss and paste. …
My daughter has always been so scared of any dental or doctor visits. This office really surprised me. They had so much patience for my daughter; the assistant really took her time and tried anything to make her feel comfortable. …
I just had to move to a new dentistry due to my age (17) and I MISS THIS PLACE SO MUCH! I absolutely hated the dentist when I was younger and then when I started going here I realized that I actually loved the dentist. …
Awesome place for kids. On another note, they even returned my call about a non-dental related question!
They are everything you'd want from a dentist for your child. Fast, efficient, with great communication. And most of all my kids love them and look forward to the next appointment. Thank you BCD!
This place deserves 5 stars all time with no exceptions. I take my kids there and they are doing above and beyond. Thank you Burien Children's Dentistry. Please keep up the great work!
From start to finish everyone was so kind! They were extremely patient for my son's first dental cleaning and exam. He can't wait to go back!
This office is amazing! My 4 year old is already asking if we can go to the dentist again tomorrow.
I love them! So friendly and the staff is great! Elizabeth is always willing to work around my busy schedule and I love that!
Been taking my kids there for over 13 years. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
I love taking my kids here. The staff is always very polite and helpful and making sure that my kids are comfortable during any service is their top priority. Thank you so much!
This place is great, kid friendly and the staff are amazingly nice. My kids love it here!
Clean, friendly and staffed appropriately. Love this office.
