Bergen Pediatric Dentistry

Absolutely phenomenal! Our son is easily overwhelmed by new situations and Dr.Hernandez made him feel so safe. The office is calming and inviting. The staff is warm, caring and helpful. Children with sensory issues will appreciate the dim lighting, soothing music, and beautiful fish! I felt so relieved when Dr.Hernandez was able to get my son comfortable with a dental exam. He used his spin brush for the first time ever tonight after months of being afraid! I can’t say enough good things! Thank you so much!

Dr. Hernandez always takes the time to explain everything to you. She is very knowledgeable. All her staff is also very nice and patient. My daughter likes to go to the dentist!

My son is three years old and is on the spectrum. He has been to several dentists whom have been unable to clean his teeth. I was referred to Dr Hernandez by my son’s ABA therapist. I was extremely happy throughout the consultation. From the moment Dr Hernandez came into the office, I was at ease. My son was afraid, and at first, was yelling and not allowing Dr Hernandez to touch him. Her calm nature and ability allowed him to feel at ease and slowly he let her touch him and she was able to clean his teeth. He even let her touch his special toy. Dr Hernandez is not only a great dentist, but very easy to talk to. I highly recommend Dr Hernandez especially if your child has special needs.

Dr. Hernandez and her staff are all friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. My son had anxiety about seeing the dentist and getting some small cavities filled. Thanks to Dr. Hernandez he was able to treat some of his cavities with SDF, fill 2 cavities, and get sealants. By the time he had her last appointment with her he was calmer at the dentist and didn't have any fear leading up to his appointment. We are so happy we found Dr. Hernandez and her team!

Dr. Hernandez and her team at Bergen Pediatric Dentistry are not only excellent at what they do, they are the most sensitive, understanding group of health professionals I’ve ever met. Because they “get it,” they approach each appointment very intentionally in terms of the atmosphere, the expectations, and the attention they provide for each child. As a practice, they posses a level of innate peace and understanding that puts their ability to “care” in a different category than other pediatric dentists. It’s not about rushing through things, “just getting it over with,” or a “ripping the bandaid off” kind of approach. That’s not to say they take a long time; they are INCREDIBLY efficient, but there’s no feelings of rush or hold still kind of pressure like some other places that claim to be “kid friendly.” They have authentically created a place that allows the child (and the parent) to feel safe, physically and emotionally. It’s a much needed dose of calm for the whole fam. And they're really smart dentists to boot! Could not recommend this place more.
