Our pediatric dentist and team are thrilled to not only help you reach your oral health goals, but to also help your children reach theirs as well with pediatric dentistry in Chula Vista, California!

Start Your Child’s Journey to a Healthy Smile Early

Our team is here to help your child grow up with a healthy and attractive smile. In order to do so, we ask that you bring your child into our dental office by the time they are 1 year old, or six months after their first tooth has grown into their mouth. During this visit, our gentle pediatric dentist will be able to carefully examine your child’s teeth, gums, and jaw to ensure a healthy and successful oral cavity. If it is needed, he will provide a fluoride treatment that will nourish and strengthen your child’s teeth.

Essential Tips for Parents

This first dental appointment is also beneficial for you as a parent. During your visit to our office, Dr. Derek Lichter and our team will happily give you the advice and tips you need to help your child maintain the best oral health possible as they grow. Some of these tips include proper nutrition and diet, developmental milestones, the correct oral hygiene routine, and regular dental checkups.
