Spearmint Kids Dental & Orthodontics - Wichita Falls

Took our 5yr old to Spearmint for his 6 mo check-up. The dental tech was great with him and answered all of his questions, and he had a lot! She brushed his teeth, and he really enjoyed the suction, seriously asked for more water so they could suck it out of his mouth. The Dentist was extremely nice and he sat for her to check him out. He even asked for more water and she obliged. Super impressed, we will see how the 3 yr old does in a few days.

After having 1 too many bad experiences at another local “4kids dentistry”, we were referred to this place by a friend. Today was our 3rd visit at Spearmint Kids and each visit has been absolutely amazing. The bedside manners of all the staff and able to relate to the kids really makes a huge difference. Clean facilities and treated with respect.

The staff was friendly, but unfortunately, our experience yesterday was more difficult than I expected. We waited about 40 minutes before being called back. After we had already waited 20 minutes, another patient arrived and was taken back almost immediately. Once my child saw the dental assistant, we waited another 20 minutes for the dentist. My child is neurodivergent, and the extended waiting time was especially difficult for him. I understand that offices can get busy and unexpected delays happen, but I do think the wait times could have been handled better, particularly for children who may have a harder time with prolonged waiting. Once we were seen, I also felt the appointment was somewhat rushed. At 11 years old, my child was told that he needed to floss better, but he wasn't given any further instruction or explanation about how to improve his flossing. The biggest concern for me was during the dental cleaning. While the dentist was scraping his teeth, my child repeatedly said, "Ow, ow, ow." Instead of stopping to check on him, she continued and told him, "It's just your tooth. It shouldn't hurt." I did not feel comfortable with that response. When a child is clearly communicating that something hurts, I believe that discomfort should be acknowledged and addressed, regardless of whether the procedure is expected to be painful. I appreciate that the staff was friendly, but I hope the office will take this feedback seriously. For children, especially neurodivergent children, patience, communication, and listening when they say something hurts can make a huge difference in whether they feel safe and comfortable at the dentist.

We have been taking our son to Spearmint Dental for the past two years. The staff is very kind and caring. They did a great job with our son as a toddler.

Dr. Garrett and his assistant were patient and kind to my daughter during her procedure today. My husband and I were impressed by the care she received from all of the staff at Spearmint Kids dental.

There’s so much that I would like to say about these wonderful people all around. They are the best and I would recommend every single human being to them. They are understanding, They are helpful, the best attitudes and very genuine to a point where You would think that they are your family members! My kids are always treated with Grace and Patience, even when we’re late😏😂 Thank you We appreciate you all! My kids loves it there!

Took my daughter here for the first time and had a great experience! The office smelled very clean, and we were warmly greeted when we arrived. I loved that they had toddler-sized chairs, tables, books, and toys — the whole atmosphere felt very welcoming for kids. The dental assistant and dentist were both kind, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel pressured into anything. I’m so glad we found this office, and happy my daughter is now a patient here!

This office is always amazing. The staff are phenomenal. Today we had a different provider than we did in the past and she was training a new assistant. She was patient, kind and thorough with the new employee and my daughter. That is a true blessing!

From start to finish in less than a week we have been with them I have nothing else to say but PHENOMENAL. From AshlEE at the front desk in the initial phone call with the referral being made, to a hiccup on insurance, to working my daughter into their already hectic schedule. She had a pretty lengthy procedure done and everyone was just top notch. The professionalism between the doctor and all workers was unlike we’ve experienced. Their system they have created to make it as calm and easy for their patients and families couldn’t have been better. They take the time to go over every tool and what it does with their patient to show them it’s nothing scary. I am so happy and thankful for this team. We will be permanent patients from here on out!!!!!
