Why Waterford families choose Lakes
Waterford families want a children’s dentist they can count on for the long haul, and Dr. Naila Farooq has been exactly that since 1999. Treating only children means she defaults to conservative care and takes the time to explain each step to parents instead of rushing them through.
Her patients grow up across the district, from Schoolcraft Elementary to Mason Middle School and on to the green and white of Waterford Kettering, and many keep the same standing appointment for years. Dependability like that is what turns a first visit into a decade of them.
What families from Waterford say
Google review“Scheduling appointments is always easy, the office is clean and welcoming, and the staff is genuinely kind, patient, and professional. They do an amazing job helping children feel comfortable and calm during their visits, which has made going to the dentist a positive experience for our daughter.”
Google review“They are just incredible. My daughter needed to have some silver caps and a tooth extraction done. Dr. Farooq was so patient and gentle with my daughter. She talked to her and gave encouragement the entire time. She also explained everything to me as well. The entire staff were just wonderful. I can’t recommend them enough.”
Google review“The doctor and hygienist my 2 year old son had yesterday were hands down amazing. They read him a sweet little book and talked to him very nicely before during and after the process of cleaning. My son really fought through the cleaning but they handled him very well and I felt they were understanding. The cleaning was super quick and we are nothing short of happy!”
The dentist

Pediatric dentists train for years beyond dental school on infants, children, teens, and those with special healthcare needs, so caring for young patients is not one part of this practice. It is the whole practice. One dentist, and your child sees her every visit.

Have an emergency?
If your child is struggling to breathe or swallow, or has a head injury, call 911 first. For a dental emergency that is not life-threatening, such as a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth, dental swelling, or pain that will not settle, call our emergency line, day or night. We would rather tell you it can wait than have you sit on it over a weekend.
