Waking up to a review like this makes us all smile ☺️🦷❤️

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ C.R. - We had an amazing experience at Kids First Dental Group in Peoria! My daughter’s first dental visit elsewhere was really tough—she had to be held down and cried the whole time. I was so nervous going into this appointment, but the team here completely changed everything.

They were so patient, kind, and gentle with her. She didn’t cry at all! They were even able to do X-rays and a full exam with her laying down independently, which I didn’t think would be possible.

They took the time to explain everything clearly and gave us options instead of jumping straight to pulling her tooth.

I can’t recommend them enough if you have little ones—this is how pediatric dental care should be!"

You’re not seeing double… you’re seeing TRIPLE!
We’re beyond thrilled to share some BIG news with our Kids First family! This summer Dr. Allie joined Dr. Kate and Dr. Laurie at KFDG. Many of you have already watched Dr. Laurie’s daughters grow up in the practice, lending a hand, assisting, and discovering their passion for dentistry right here in our office (after all, they learned from the best!).

After years of dedication and completing their dental training, Dr. Kate and Dr. Allie have stepped into a new role at Kids Firsts - as dentists.

Not only are Dr. Kate and Dr. Allie incredibly talented and knowledgeable, but their years here have also taught them firsthand what it means to care for kids with patience and kindness as well. Now, as skilled and compassionate dentists, they’re bringing that same passion and heart into every appointment. From first checkups, to those big milestone visits, they have a way of making every child feel comfortable and excited about taking care of their smile.

Next time you’re in, Dr. Kate and Dr. Allie will be there to meet you and are excited to be able to care for your family like they would their own. After all, we’re family here too. With Dr. Laurie, Dr. Kate, and Dr. Allie together, we’ve tripled the care, comfort, and commitment to your child’s smile.
At Kids First, one thing will never change – with us, your Kids will always come First.
