I have to say I take my daughter to Palmetto Smiles as well. As a matter of fact we are on our way to an appointment this morning.
One thing I don't like though is that they do not allow parents back to sit with the children when they are having work done. We will go in this am and she will get some grape flavored relaxing stuff they call juice but it is really thick. We'll sit in a padded room until it takes effect and she is relaxed. Once they call her back, I will go back to the waiting room and the nurse will take her to the room to get her cavities filled. My DD has very thin (and on some teeth no) enamel which makes them prone to cavities. They will take their time with her and get the job done. Once they give her a little gas, she will fall asleep while they do their work.
We see Dr Cross. He is a very nice man and is very patient with the children. My daughter actually likes him despite the fact that he is the one doing the work on her. She does not like to be put in the pappoose thing and now understands that if she keeps her hands away from her face, they won't use it.
We see him as a result of asking our friends who they use. We were given lots of suggestions but Palmetto Smiles was the closesdt to us.
