Pediatric dentists aren’t just regular dentists who happen to see children. After dental school, they complete two additional years of specialized training focused entirely on kids. They learn child psychology, growth and development, and how to manage the unique dental needs children have as they grow. This is why parents searching for a kids dentist Los Angeles families can trust often choose board-certified pediatric dentists over general practitioners.
Think about it: Your toddler’s jaw is still forming, baby teeth are falling out on their own schedule, and permanent teeth are waiting underneath to come in. Regular dentists treat fully developed mouths. Pediatric dentists understand the whole timeline of what’s happening in there and what needs attention at each stage.
Dr. Ray completed his pediatric residency at USC and Miller Children’s Hospital, where he learned to work with kids who range from totally calm to absolutely terrified. Dr. Hayley worked as a hygienist before becoming a dentist, so she’s seen thousands of kids in the chair and knows what actually works to keep them comfortable. Both doctors focus on prevention and straightforward care, meaning they won’t push treatments your child doesn’t need.
Location matters when you’re trying to fit dental appointments into an already packed schedule. Our Culver City office sits just east of the 405, making it easy for families from Marina del Rey, Playa del Rey, Venice, Westchester, Mar Vista, Ladera Heights, and Inglewood to get here without fighting traffic for an hour.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends bringing your child in by age one or within six months of their first tooth showing up. Early visits aren’t about extensive treatment. They’re about getting your child used to the dentist, catching any early concerns, and teaching you how to care for their teeth at home.
Most kids do well with checkups every six months. Some children with higher cavity risk need to come in more often. We’ll let you know what makes sense for your specific situation based on what we see.
Parents often worry about bottles. Here’s the deal: Prolonged bottle use, especially at night with milk or juice, significantly increases the risk of cavities. We’ll talk through realistic timelines for transitioning away from bottles based on your child’s age and development.
