At Sunshine Smiles of Orange County, family is more important than ever. This is just one of the reasons we welcome your children to our office to see Dr. Mikaeya Kalantari, our pediatric dentist.

It is important to get your children off on the proper path when it comes to taking care of their oral health. By making regular dental visits a part of your child’s healthcare routine from a young age, he or she is more inclined to visit the dentist regularly as an adult. Preventive care today can make a difference in their oral health tomorrow.  

A Positive First Pediatric Dental Visit

Sunshine Smiles Of Orange County welcomes you to experience how FUN and GENTLE Pediatric Dentistry can be! We want you and your child to have a POSITIVE dental visit and we work hard to make that happen! Watch below as Dr. Kalantari talks a little bit about the Sunshine Smiles Difference!

 

At your child's first visit, we take our time so your little ones can grow accustomed to being at the dentist. We will brush his or her teeth and examine your child's mouth to make sure everything looks normal. Our team realizes that young attention spans are limited, so we will work efficiently. The first visit is primarily about getting kids comfortable in the dental chair and with the office environment.

It is recommended that children start visiting the dentist by the time they are one year old. Of course, if you have concerns and would like us to see your child before that, just let us know!
