We encourage brushing and flossing at an early age – it promotes the overall healthy development of a child and builds good habits for a lifetime of wellness. To promote a healthy smile and  prevent tooth decay, we like children to have regular checkups and experience their first visit to the dentist by the age of one.

When working with our pediatric patients at Open Wide La Jolla, we understand how important it is to go at their pace to promote a positive experience. Brushing should be a fun at-home activity and dental treatments in our La Jolla office shouldn’t be scary.
