I Went to accompany my mom for a dental emergency she had. I wasn’t in my bed mood due to my girls days and preteen struggles as well. When I was told, I would be seen for cleaning which I wasn’t counting on, tears came to my eyes and frustrations feelings. When I tell you, the girl who left that office, after being cheered and taken care by doctor Alexandra was a completed different girl with the biggest smile and content heart. That dentist office feels like home from the girls at the desk and Ashia being so helpful at all times to the care and support of the dentists. The best experience ever. Love Kakaris Family dentistry. ❤️+5![]()

Today was the first time I had been seen by Alyssa! She was very nice, gentle, and diligent with her work. I haven’t had a hygienist like that since I was a kid. I will for sure be back to have her clean my teeth again :)![]()
