About Little Smiles of Hayward- Dr. Sojeong Kim and Dr. Ha Thai
Dr. Ha T. Thai runs a pediatric dental office that focuses on preventative care for children and adolescents in a child-friendly environment. Located in Hayward, CA, the office serves the surrounding cities of San Leandro, Castro Valley, and Union City. Parents highly recommend Dr. Thai, as her staff is always friendly and kind, making children feel safe and comfortable during their cleanings. They appreciate the office's help with insurance to minimize costs. Dr. Thai takes the time to get to know each child, singing to them if they become anxious and speaking to them calmly to help them relax. Though the office used to have a large play castle in the waiting area that children enjoyed before COVID-19, families now enjoy age-appropriate shows on the TV to keep kids entertained. The front office, back staff, and doctors all receive praise for their exceptional care, which includes being informative and answering questions. Some parents claim that dentists "fill unnecessary teeth," but at this office, they do everything possible to avoid drilling on children's teeth, ensuring a positive experience for all.
We love Little Smiles and Dr. Kim, Dr. Thai, and staff. We’ve been coming here since our boys were teeny weeny and now my oldest just turned 18. Friendly service and quality care. Thank you for many years of smiles :)
Both of my kids (ages 4 and 2) have been going to Little Smiles or Hayward since they were 6 months old, and we absolutely love it here. We have always had positive interactions with the front office, who are extremely kind and accommodating. The dental hygienists are so patient and amazing with children. They always make sure my kids feel comfortable and safe. My kids love the TVs on the ceiling that play their favorite shows, the ability to choose a flavored toothpaste, and their special prize at the end of the visit! Both Dr. Kim and Dr. Thai are truly experts at what they do and they provide the best care. We look forward to seeing them for many years to come!
I thought I prepared my 3 year old… we read books about the dentist, watched videos about the dentist, even played with a “dentist kit” from Melissa & Doug but that did not prevent her from screaming and crying the entire time the doctor and nurse were doing the cleaning. They both took it in stride as if the ear piercing shrieks of my child didn’t affect them. Meanwhile, my toddler asked me today if she could go back to the dentist again because “it tickled, it didn’t hurt” so clearly she wasn’t traumatized by yesterday’s visit. Thank you Little Smiles Team! Finger’s crossed that our next visit in 6 months will...read full review
