Pediatric Dental Care in Los Angeles

Dentist in Los Angeles

If you are looking for an excellent dental practice where you and your children can receive the very best dental care, we hope you will visit us at Whittier Dental Group. At the office of our dentist in Los Angeles, your child can receive complete pediatric dental care; just one of our expert dentists is Dr. David Rabizadeh.

It is now recommended that children come in to see our dentist in Los Angeles when their first baby tooth erupts or when they reach one year of age - whichever occurs first. This is because baby teeth play very important functions in your child’s mouth. It is important that the baby teeth are kept healthy so that they can remain in your child’s mouth for as long as they are needed. By having periodic dental exams and gentle teeth cleanings at our dental practice, and by taking advantage of our preventive dental treatments, it should be easy for your child to have healthy teeth and gums. Baby teeth are very important because they act as place savers for permanent teeth which will erupt several years down the road. If a baby tooth falls out prematurely, the associated permanent tooth may not be able to erupt in its proper place. This can cause serious orthodontic problems later on. Baby teeth also help the child with his or her chewing so that food can be completely digested. Additionally, a child’s baby teeth help them to develop clear speaking habits. For all these reasons, you will want to make sure that your child has excellent oral health, even if he or she only has baby teeth in his or her mouth. We offer fluoride treatments to help keep tooth enamel strong, and to be resistant to dental decay. We also offer dental sealants which will effectively protect the flat chewing surfaces of your child’s premolars and molars from tooth decay, as well.
