Give your child a bright, healthy start with gentle and fun pediatric dental care.
At Lakewood Dental and Orthodontics, we believe that a positive experience at the dentist sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our pediatric dental care is designed to be gentle, patient, and engaging, ensuring your child feels safe and comfortable from the moment they walk through our doors.
Whether it’s your baby’s first “happy visit,” a routine cleaning, or protective sealants, we provide modern, kid-friendly care tailored to the unique needs of growing smiles.
Starting dental visits early does more than just prevent cavities; it builds confidence and healthy habits.
Regular checkups help us monitor dental development and catch potential issues before they become problems.
Treatments like fluoride and dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection for young, vulnerable enamel.
By creating a fun, low-stress environment, we help children overcome dental anxiety before it ever starts.
We keep a close eye on how your child’s teeth and jaws are aligning, offering early orthodontic insights when needed.
We teach children how to brush and floss effectively while giving parents the tools to manage oral health at home.
Every child deserves specialized dental attention! Your child is an ideal candidate if they:
Are ready for their first visit (usually by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears).
Are due for a six-month cleaning and exam.
Need protection against decay with sealants or fluoride.
Show signs of dental anxiety and need a team that is patient and extra-gentle.
Are transitioning from baby teeth to adult teeth and need their alignment monitored.
At Lakewood Dental and Orthodontics, we evaluate each child’s unique personality and dental needs to ensure every visit is a “win” for their smile.
We make the dentist’s office a place of discovery and comfort for our youngest patients.
We introduce your child to the dental environment at their own pace. We show them the “cool tools” we use—like the “tooth camera” and the “painless tickle brush”—to demystify the experience.
We carefully remove plaque and tartar while checking each tooth for health. Our hygienists use age-appropriate language to explain what they are doing every step of the way.
If recommended, we apply quick and painless fluoride or dental sealants to deep grooves in the molars to “seal out” decay-causing bacteria.
Every brave patient leaves with a prize and plenty of praise! We want your child to walk out feeling proud of their healthy smile and excited for their next visit.
Choosing the right team for your child’s dental care is the secret to a lifetime of healthy, happy smiles.
Because we are also orthodontic experts, we can identify alignment issues early, potentially saving your child from more complex treatments later in life.
We use digital X-rays that are faster and safer, ensuring your child’s health is protected during every diagnostic step.
We never rush our young patients. We take the time to answer their questions and move at a speed that feels safe for them.
Families in Lakewood trust us because we treat every child like our own—with honesty, kindness, and a focus on long-term wellness.
We believe quality dental care should be accessible. We accept most PPO insurance plans and Medi-Cal. Our team will gladly help you verify your coverage before your procedure so there are no surprises. If you need additional help, we offer flexible payment plans to make your care affordable.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first visit by age one, or within six months of their first tooth appearing.
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They act as a shield against cavities in deep grooves where brushes can’t reach.
We specialize in “tell-show-do” techniques. We explain everything in kid-friendly terms, show them the tools, and only then proceed. Our calm, supportive environment works wonders for anxiety.
Just like adults, children should visit us every six months for a professional cleaning and exam to stay ahead of decay.
Yes! We are proud to accept a wide range of PPO insurance plans to ensure your child gets the care they need.
